What do you guys and gals plan on doing with your DM Sting?
I got 3. I plan on keeping one moc. One loose display. And one for play.
Does anyone plan on torso swapping for his singlet top look?
How about painting it red for a Wolfpac look?
Arm swap?
This may not really warrant a thread and it probably could've went somewhere else but I can't help it. I'm so excited to finally have my order in for this awesome figure. I've waited a long time for this as he's my third favorite wrestler. Its almost surreal. Sting just wrestled at Wrestlemania and now we are finally getting a great and proper Mattel Sting!!
Anyway, I look forward to hearing any custom plans for the Stinger!!

I'm pretty sure Bill said that the Sting shown in those photos was a very early proto..... he just wanted to have something to show.
You might not need to do things like "arm swaps" and such, wait and see the final product first.....

Well the only thing that appeared to change from the SDCC proto to the figure shown a month or two ago and that deal in Vegas(toy con?) was different arms. I assume what we saw at Toy Con was basically what we're getting. I think the arms from the SDCC proto were the best ones to use. But I doubt the figure will look much different from what we saw at Toy Con.

Depends if it has the puny arms from SDCC I will switch them with any larger arms the skin tones matches on. if it has the ones we saw in the latest pic I might keep as is unless the DM Steamboat/e19 Dolph/e20 Rhodes styled arms match his skin tone.

I ordered one for loose. I'll pickup at least two more at retail. I'll keep one MOC and probably will give at least one as a gift to one of my nephews

Probably keep it loose mainly for display, probably some light play dropping some Scorpion Death Drops.

My plan is to open it and stick in on my display shelf. It's going to look sweet.

Depending on how the package arrives when it gets here, I'll either keep it MOC or open for my Pic Fed. I'll get a second at retail to do the opposite with.

As big of a Sting fan as I am, I couldn't pull the trigger on this one. First off I never liked his crow-gimmick even though he loves it himself. I grew up with Surfer Sting, so I'm waiting it out. I think I read somewhere that Bill isn't planning on Surfer Sting until 2016 so I hope he reconsiders for this year!

While surfer Sting is tied with Piper as my all-time favorites I will buy any and all Sting figures. Even the Wolfpack version (and I hated the red/black face paint) I think the only Sting I could say for certain I would pass on is from TNA when he had that stupid furry attire. No thanks! I preordered 2 and plan on getting 3 more locally just like I did with the EG Piper, DM Hitman and The Von Erich.

I totally get the excitement. Hell, I'm really excited too. I bought the TNA Sting figures, but my favorite era, the WCW Crow sting, was off limits for them. So we haven't had figures of that era since 2000. That is crazy to think.
I might buy one to keep MOC, but I'm gonna open mine and marvel at it. A lot.

He will get a great spot in the front of my shelf, maybe posed pointing the bat, Idk, either way I'm so pumped that the wait for this is almost over, and that he has a real coat and not a plastic one.

I plan to put him next to the DM Flair, Hogan and Razor. And cry with happiness.

I have a prime spot for him in my display. But it's been delayed so, I guess ill temper my expectations now.

I'm going to pose him. Probably beating the s**t out of HHH with his baseball bat.

I only ordered one. I plan on either just posing him with the jacket while pointing the bat. Or I thought bout giving him Nash's nWo title and having him hold it into the air like the night he defeated Hogan. Either way I can not wait!!
That being said: I'd rather have a Surfer Sting though.

I purchased 2 from RSC. Hope to get 3 more at retail and they will breakdown like this... 1. One to keep as in on my Legends shelf 2. One for my Elile shelf 3. One to keep MIB 4. One to mess around with/pose 5. One to go at my computer table (although that one I can probably do away with seeing I haven't sat at that table in almost 2 years)
