I have not bought a Mattel figure since I found out about BATB Sting. I swore Mattel off and looked towards figuarts and claimed I quit for good. I find that sting is realy nice looking. The neck does look funny but that face is dead on.Macho looks to be a lost cause with MAttel as always, and it look like Luger just laid one and is trying not to laugh.
But I am super surprised. I looked in Walmart and none. Any way, as Scott Hall said, "Luger fainted when he saw us," in relation to the events at Bash at the Beach main event. Man, I loved wrestling back then and this brought back some great memories of when wrestling was water cooler talk and talked about in schools and even outside when kids and adults were wearing those NWO craps. Gosh I miss that time period.

There are pics on Instagram. It's just E33 Seth and Roman straight rereleases and a E31 Dean rerelease but with the E40 Dean headscan. Deans head is e41, and Seth had a newer head too. Not sure if its e37 or a retooled version, but its not the same as e33. A lot of people did these swaps, but I like the variety in sculpts so I keep te originals how they were. This is good for MIB collectors and people that may have missed Shield elites. I know Roman and Seth can probably still be found, but I dont see e31 anywhere anymore. Maybe a year ago, but not now. Never saw the e31 Dean(rock or Vader) at retail but unfortunately got one about 2 months ago for more them retail. And don't mind if they repack, but y couldn't they do Seth's arms and shoulders in black like ppl wanted when e33 came out. |

Since the set with the white boots Luger seems to be a custom, what's the easiest way to swap the feet without any damage?

When it's hot/soft enough it'll pull off without too much effort. Softly jerk it back and forth until it comes and then dry your hands.  |

There's a "That what she said" joke in there, but I will leave that alone. This is the best way of going about swapping boots, and heads. |

No, sorry Bay Area Northern Cali Which one did you find them at? Were there any left? I hit Mountain View last night but they didn't have anything. The Walmart off Hisparian in Hayward and the one in Union City |

I came here to say this: the basic that everybody thought was too short, is the same size as the BatB Elite. The proportions are exactly the same. Keep that in mind when purchasing. I was gonna upload a pic, but I saw cablev had this one, so,... Thanks! |

White boots can be found on Narcissist Luger who up until a couple days ago coulda been bought for $6 off a certain online store. Glad I grabbed me an extra one. As soon as I saw this 3 pack I grabbed that Luger from the damaged package section on that site for $7 shipped! |

I just held them both in my hands at the store. They are exactly the same. I'll upload a pic in a bit. |

I thought you were talking about the one in the guy's pic. Still skeptical because I have that Sting basic and he's a midget. |

Why in the world would they make Luger's boots black when they were white? I mean they have the footage. How does that kind of mistake happen? Good question, I've often wondered that myself. For the price Mattel charges you'd think they'd get someone who'd make sure everything's accurate down to the eyelashes. My guess is that that black tights, black boots Luger will see a single release sans-paint as 97-Lex (maybe with removable pants and shirt to make a hybrid Wolfpac figure. Basically, the BATB was sort of a reverse re-release. Also, looking at the loose pics, I think Sting looks a lot better than people are giving it credit for. |
