Good god that Sting picture looks like a picture from a bootleg wrestling figure, like the bug-eyed Chris Benoit picture from an old series of bootlegs. I'll still probably buy the fig over the DM though.
Still not loving the Becky head, and I really hope the goggles aren't the same cheap plastic as the Bayley headband.that thing will not stay on.

Man it is a shame that that Sting did not get the elite treatment.

Who's in charge of card art? This is what Sting is supposed to look like:

It's like the Sting figure on the card looked over to the right, turned away and started laughing at how doofy the art looks.

Might get Becky. Never gotten a Womens figure before, so I'd probably keep it MOC, which I've also never done.

HAHAHA, that's good stuff. This might be the first time that I save the cardboard just for the funny pic. I can't wait for this figure!

I think the Surfer Sting card pic is based off the Blade Runners as some others alluded to, but wherever the reference image came from, there's no denying the horrific/horrifying/horrendous/horrible havoc (and I don't mean the WCW Halloween kind) of that "art" chosen for the final product. Good thing I only decide to keep some of my collection MOC, based on whatever I feel appeals to my eyes to stay (or be double purchased, as is normally the case) on card. MOC collectors have got to be fuming of late, albeit most likely mainly due to the thin, in-CREASE-ing amount of crumbling cardboard packages coming into retail stores abroad.
Unfortunately, these issues are becoming inevitably unavoidable. It almost makes me wonder if there really isn't some trolling going on at Mattel, especially seeing as it's noticeably gotten worse for collectors ever since the whole Elite 39 Sting (a beautiful figure) head thread debacle. Speaking of which, someone involved at WWE and/or Mattel must loathe Sting in general, or rather, his fans. I'll blame the begrudging Vincent Kennedy McMahon for starting that trend though. It seems as if there's been some kind of "blunder" with nearly all of his figures thus far, according to the consensus anyways, whether a key, completing component may be deemed missing or just an aesthetic flaw here or there.
Oh well, I'll just throw that trash of a card where it belongs to begin with: in the garbage. I'll keep the vibrant, vivid, neon green Sting figure & still display it proudly once I buy it. We all know we're still gonna buy the beauty, avid Sting fans & fellow figure collectors alike, that is. Well, I'd be willing to wager that a majority will at least.
