Not sure what you're disagreeing with me on. The defining moment figure will probably be Sting's only figure for that line, as there have been no repeat wrestlers yet with that wave of figures, with each wrestler selected having only one representation thus far. I have no doubt in my mind though that we will see more than one Sting figure before his time is through though, possibly as an Elite (which I'm calling right now, will be classic "surfer" Sting), and I definitely believe we will be seeing him in the basic assortments featuring many of his colorful get-ups over the years. (A Sting / Ultimate "Dingo" Warrior battlepack I could very easily see...and it would be awesome...)

As for the value...that has yet to be determined, first WWE figure or not. Figure value is always subjective to many different things, including variants, how rare it is, etc. Defining Moments Randy Savage was not the first Mattel figure of Randy Savage, but is one of the most coveted of him because the figure released weeks before his sudden death, causing a posthumous frenzy among collectors. Kane has had countless figures over the year, but it's the Ringside Collectibles Exclusive "Kane Unmasked" that drives the highest price for The Big Red Machine. In that same regards, while many Ebay sellers are charging an arm and a leg for DM Hogan due to it being his first Mattel figure, I'm seeing him everywhere warming on shelves. The only people who are falling for that are the ones that MUST have their Hulk Hogan, or simply don't know any better and haven't done enough searching.

In the end, when it comes to value, it all comes down to the general rule, it's only as valuable as what someone is willing to pay for it. =)

Well check out the prices for razor Ramon, they're crazy. Ebayers are selling him for $67! And I have yet to find one on the shelf.
