SUMMARY:
Released in 2017, this power-packed tag team recreates their dominance of the long-defunct World Championship Wrestling (WCW) from the late 80’s through the late 90’s. Sting colorfully sports a vintage look, as a golden scorpion adorns his light green tights. Luger’s Funko corresponds to his mid-90’s appearance when he started pairing black boots with his non-distinctive trunks upon returning to WCW. Capable of 360-degree head turns, both mini-statues are the standard size (about 3.75 inches tall). They easily stand up for display options.
Note: Luger’s Funko is slightly shorter than Sting’s, though the real Luger is actually two or three inches taller than Sting.
REVIEW:
Including spot-on paint jobs, Funko’s rendition of WCW’s two premier ‘super-heroes’ is both flawless and impressively durable. Case in point: Sting’s light green-and-black face paint is immaculate. For that matter, both Sting’s spiky peroxide-blond crewcut and Luger’s dirty blond mullet are rendered exactly the way fans would remember them. Hypothetically, the only item missing is a pair of WCW World Tag Team Championship belts. Considering all factors (especially, their wacky potential as a desk/shelf decoration), this Funko two-pack is a wonderful homage to that other wrestling league that held its own vs. the WWE.
BRIAN’S ODD MOON RATING: 9 Stars
