DM Sting: Rubber or fabric coat?

[punksnotdead]

Hopefully they go cloth, but I'm not going to get hung up on it. I'm just happy to get Sting, and the proto looked incredible.

If they could pull off A fabric coat with those shoulder flaps I would be very impressed even if there is not another accessory like a bat or belt.

[rickyleestf]

Honestly with all the new tooling included on Sting, I'm not expecting a lot of accessories. He's got a new head, torso, crotch, thighs, and boot mold. I'll be happy with anything.

Look at all the stuff Razor is coming with! If anything, he's the one that should have fit into the regular Elite line as a flashback.

Probably will be plastic like others have mentioned I wish hogans shirt was fabric they really dropped The ball on that one

[RV F'N D]

Hate those rubber coats. The DM Sting deserves either cloth or the pleather like Bret's jacket.

[knupmc]

Honestly, I don't mind rubber much for coats. For shirts, I feel we should get cloth though.

So, for sting I hope we get a rubber coat. I'm hoping it'll be:
Dm sting figure(obviously)
Rubber coat
Black bat
Shiny whc

I can't even imagine what else it would come with, so this would be my logical guess

Fabric Coat
Baseball Bat
Dull WCW Title

The WCW Title belt was duller than Goldberg vs Lesnar. No need to make it shiny.

Either way... it needs to hold true to his Starrcade entrance. Let me clarify. It needs to hang off of his shoulder. I know that sounds weird, but to me that is an important detail to that iconic moment. I suspect a cloth coat would represent that more accurately, but a rubber coat may look more accurate in general. He also needs the black bat and the nWo spray painted title.

This would be a great way to get another spray painted nWo WH title into the hands of fans for those that never got a Nash. Either here or we wait for the inevitable Hollywood Hogan with one.

I'm sure it will be plastic with bat and title belt as accessories

[AlexWestCollects]

It's a DM he needs a cloth coat. If they have to skip the title. Just give me a bat n coat.

[Affliction: Elite Trader]

I'll be fine with just a baseball bat and nothing else. I'm a loose collector who sells the plast coats and most accessories in the classifieds. I don't really need another. World Heavyweight Championship either.

Where do people get the idea that a DM figure is a DM figure because they have a larger budget for each figure? I may have missed that. Look at Razor, I bet making bluetista was more expensive than making Razor (deco hits, sunglasses, cap, vest). How can Mattel justify upping the price on select figures? Well, simply because most of us will pay 4-5 dollars more for a figures like Sting, Razor, Hogan and Flair. We all want them. And they all look great. If it's too expensive, then simply put, just don't buy it. Mattel won't hurt themselves because people like me will buy a couple and I'm sure many on this board will as well.

I'll put it the same way an art teacher of mine told me back in college "cheap art isn't good (Jakks), and good art isn't cheap (Mattel)"

That being said, bring on a Sting with a rubber coat, bat, WHC and a crow!!

[czw4life]

Fabric clothes are better. Rubber ones restrict movement, especially if its a long sleeve or coat. Fabric > rubber. I mean jakks did a bunch of fabric stuff and everyone is bashing them. How much more money does mattel need?

[wyattfam]

Cloth man... It's the only way to go.

[BadGirlRyleigh]

If we get a plastic coat in the same line that gave us Ultimate Warrior's WM 7 duster in cloth with 10 different colors, I will be really sad.

[@Chair.Shot]

Cloth would be awesome but I highly doubt we'll see it.

[Next Man’s Yeeter]

Hopefully plastic. Entrance Greats Undertaker's coat was horrific, looked like a kid wearing his dad's coat, and it was some kind of shiny pseudo-leather thing, which Undertaker wasn't wearing at the time. Until they devise some new material that doesn't look gigantic and thick on the figures, fabric just doesn't work at this scale.

Although I guess Sting's coats sometimes actually looked weirdly oversized, so it could work. And cloth would make it possible to have him posed pointing the bat. So I'll be happy enough either way. If the coat sucks, I'll maybe put the Elite 2 Matt Hardy one on him.

[foleyera89]

Idc! Just give me Sting already.

[Chip]

if he even comes with a coat....it will be plastic. no way they give him the EG undertaker coat.

sad but true.
