I just want jackets with tassels that aren't frozen in place. Make it like a macho man jacket that is fabric with tassels and not solid plastic or rubber.
Not sure a specific ppv but hot pink is needed for a surfer Sting. It should be on the tights and facepaint.

I just want some flashback Sting figures. I don’t want any Sting in stupid t shirts. Is there any reason why we haven’t gotten ANY singlet Stings from AEW? He wore a singlet there at least once, iirc. I don’t see him coming back to WWE in all honesty. I remember Scotty saying the deals were low, but who knows maybe Triple H or someone could give him a good deal. I just don’t think WWE figures are on Sting’s radar. I get that - BUT - I also suspect things have changed. WWE has changed so much in the last 6 months alone, after the purchase and consolidation with TKO, and Vince being removed from so much power. I am guessing these contracts have changed, and for the better for the wrestler, and to be honest, I could see WWE making a push for Sting after his contract is done, just as an extra screw you to AEW. WWE has Cody. WWE has Punk. Now if WWE can get Sting back, it will be another feather in their cap in the WWE/AEW 'war'. Due to this, I could see WWE extending a very good Legend/Merchandising contract to Sting. This line does not have an end point as Steve has pointed out previously. So if they are signed, I would think it would be very easy to slip the previously unreleased Legends Sting and a Flair into the line. |

Honestly, I’d take Sting over CM Punk, Cody and any other talent that WWE would take from AEW. Sting was and is my favorite wrestler of all time. I always felt like he was misrepresented in figure form. Out of all the main event players, he’s been the one to get the least amount of figures in the last twenty something years from a main event line. Mattel gave us a couple of Sting and each one had flaws. We only get current Stings from AEW. My holy grail would be a ‘98 Sting done with a wider torso, tall accurate boots, two or three facial expressions with his hair covering his ears. New bat would be a must, none of that wooden grain Flintstones caveman garbage we got. I am glad though that Steve said the line could last years. It’s exciting and pretty much what I’m only interested in atm. |

You know how we got so many Hogans over the past few years? That’s exactly what needs to be done with Sting if he ever becomes available again. 2026, the year of the Stinger. I like it. |

Didn't aew try doing a ringside collectible exclusive surfer sting? Did it get canceled? I don't remember a surfer Sting being show, but I do remember them showing a Blade Runner Sting/Flash figure about a year ago. But I haven't seen anything about it since.   |

They've called 2024 the celebration of 40 years of Hulkamania. Hopefully they're keeping it under wraps right now that 2025 will be a 40th celebration of Macho Madness. Sting can have '26. |

No. Jakks did one back in the day. Well ringside collectibles was hyping up a surfer sting & had a render up around all out 2021. I guess I was the only one who saw it. I guess you were. |

I hope he either would stay independant, or sign something not exclusive to WWE for merch.
I only collect the retro lines, and would much rather have companies like Zombie, Mitch and TAFKAChella have access.
I'd want some good surfer Sting looks, both in blonde and his transition period of the brown hair period.

They announced it and then nothing since. At the risk into drifting too much into AEW territory (maybe better suited for that board) but AEW/Jazawares seems to have their issues. There was a L O N G gap of time where they had announced a number of items - like that photo of Unrivaled 11 - yet there were no new preorders from Ringside, nothing new showing at retail (while nothing old was selling) and radio silence from their hype guy (who in my mind is an a-hat anyway, but regardless, no news). Now things are starting to trickle out again, but things like Unrivaled 11 above which should be hitting the pegs now are still well behind, and their lineups have had to be reshuffled multiple times. Kind of like AEW in general, the whole AEW figure line seems to be just haphazardly thrown together and fans have greatly lost interest. For a line that was white-hot when it debuted, I have never seen a line cool down so much so fast and just fall so far. Tying this back to the thread - I am optimistic that Sting is smart enough as a person to realize that the company he is in currently is just spinning in the bowl, like last few years of WCW spinning, and realizes that he would be much better off at his age back in WWE, where they own the bulk of his career footage, and be a true wrestling ambassador. And I hope he brings Flair with him. |

If I were Sting, I'd be staying as far from WWE as possible. |
