There is a fella selling a bagged sting in orangish pants on a popular auction website. He lists in the title that it is a mailaway and then states in the description its one of the two figures included in the UK Ring... Can anyone clear this up up? is he right about both or either or neither?
thank in advance for the help

He is right as far as it came with a ring, Woolworths in the UK had a ring with a sticker saying includes 2 figures. Not a mailaway though, unless anyone has heard of a mail off promotion? there are many posts about this already and the seller is on here

I just looked through previous threads about this. I am sorry for beating this to death but it appears we never confirmed this is a figure that is included with the UK woolworths ring.
The seller (I assume a guy on here named Vanilla) has concluded based on the fact there was a ring that came with two figures that this bagged figure is certainly one of them. Are we to also assume that all 60+ bagged hasbro figures the Perrybeatle presented must have also been included in some ring promotion?
We know that in the US the Hasbro JC Penny ring came with a bagged Hulk and Macho figure. Its possible this bagged sting is included with the UK ring id just love some sort of verification.

I don't trust this.
Pops up this year for the first time anyone has seen one and now there are two or three advocates on this board saying definitely legit.
Next thing we know they are popping up on eBay.
All seems a bit convenient to me and my money will be staying in my PayPal account. Get the Uk exvlusives moc instead, a much safer investment

I'm doubting this for several reasons
I'm from the US and my galoob ring came with figures which I'm pretty sure Windham was one
I certainly never had a sting growing up so it wasn't that

As I mentioned in an earlier thread, I do not consider them any more than loose figures that have been put into a bag. As for those who seem to remember getting figures with the ring, considering the time frame since these were released, I consider it reasonable to believe that Galoob would package the rings with pairs of wrestlers similar to how they are packaged on the tag team packages, Sting/Luger, Flair/Arn etc. Maybe Flair package with other Horsemen figures as well like Windham and Sid as well. Perhaps they did not use the less popular or ones that did not have a natural partner like Simmons and Pillman.

These haven't just popped up this year, they have been on eBay for years, at least 3. The only way you'll know for sure is if a sealed one crops up, yeah right! I believe you will NEVER know 100% which figures came with that ring

Sorry to doubt you but I had pretty much every variant, figure and package out there US & UK. Never saw any US rings with bagged figures.
As to the UK ring, never owned the ring that said there were figures included but did have bagged Lugers.
I'd take the word of a collector who still has the exclusive UK boxed ring opened or not.

Yep, hasbromaniac that would pretty much do it for me as well. The current notion that because we dont know where the bagged figures cames from automatically means its a Woolworths ring exclusive just doesent work for me.

How many rings with the 'free figures' sticker have surfaced? Because anyone could make a sticker and slap it on a box to help legitimise their stash of bagged figures that they want to sell on ebay... Not saying that is necessarily the case here, but the bagged figure scams have been going-on for years now. Look how new the sticker on the ring box looks compared to the price sticker... Food for thought.
If anyone owns a legit sealed version of the ring including the figures inside it would be someone on this forum, and until verified by a trusted member of the forum, the bagged figures arent really worth any more than a loose version.

Another Random person has been messaging me from buffalo asking about it non stop and saying he sold it to me. From What I can tell it is from that ring . The bagged figs from perry beadle look like random bagged inventory. As does this in a way but with somewhat of a trail and a want from multiple people. I listed it on the site for sale . I put mail away in because every ebay listing gets away with wwf wwe wcw hasbro mattel all listed in the title . I made it that way so it comes up in more searches. If anyone ever had a question they could have easily contacted me . I am not hard to find. Keep speculation to yourself unless you have done more research on this than me . And if you have cool I would love to know more.... sorry for bad grammar. (side note... I even put in the listing to go on this forum and ask questions. I have nothing to hide. I am more than reputable

I believe you over anyone based on your general figure knowledge . Based on what the original seller has said to me it was a Green Trunks luger and sting that came with a ring . But he could have made them himself. But them I question why he tried to buy it back multiple times.... I have posted about this situation before

I am more than reputable Ive done quite a bit of research on these figures myself. This "random guy in Buffalo" sold this figure for under $100 roughly around the time you began advertising it as a woolworths mail away. I know this because myself and thousnads of other ebayers declined to buy it for over a month. You have a lot of nerve telling me or anyone else to keep speculation to themselves concerning this item. You do understand you falsely list it as a mail away then declare it the woolworths ring exclusive with absolutely zero proof to validate that.

Your timeline of when I bought this figure is off . It was a year ago. I even posted it in here. SO no Keep speculation to yourself . Do some research . look for the post. I put it on ebay like two weeks ago . So If there was another figure online it wasn't mine I even posted pics of it in my collection a year ago . You sir need to Apologize. And I bought this figure from a sell er named UKMEDIA It was Feburary 27TH Here is the link to the post from when I bought it. . Again I listed it the same way everyone else lists things as in ecw wwf wwe wcw, or hasbro mattel jakks, i put in hasbro mail away to attract views and even said it was not a mail away in the description. So honestly you can all get off your high horses with this crap. Apologies can be PM'd forum.wrestlingfigs.com/thread/297233/mail-away-sting-version-galoob

Why can't we just agree to disagree, some will believe, some won't, some people don't believe that RnB Greg is real, lets just all get along!?!

Apologize for what? Is the irony lost on you here? You want people to discontinue speculation on this item yet your entire basis on where this figure came from is 100% speculation. As far as you go SPEAKTOMEWARRIOR. I saw that you humped vanilla's leg enough on this issue When it was discussed under forum.wrestlingfigs.com/thread/297233/mail-away-sting-version-galoob To the point people questioned if you two are the same person. Odd timing, this thread has been dead until you both posted AGAIN.
