Got my CM Punks on Saturday along with DM Bret Hart and Cena. After a little fix-up, now it's a perfect Punk!   Sad Punk without his cobra and pepsi tats.  CM Punk now happy and complete with his cobra and pepsi tattoos!  Cobra tat  Pepsi tat  CM Punk complete with cobra and pepsi tats, Best in the world t-shirt from Ralphs and WWE spinner! DM Cena. Great figure but notice how Mattel hemmed in the bottom of the jersey but not the sleeves?  DM Bret Hart. Ditto, the bottom of the jacket is hemmed in but the sleeves are not. Also, the paper flag is terribly cheap-looking and all had dings in the paper EVEN when mint in box.  Ciao! |

LOL, not to nit-pick but E11 Punk's ear tat is wrongly placed, and the chest chat isn't accurate so missing "Spitfire" is almost appropriate  Don't know if this bugged other people with their DM Bret Hart, but Mattel made the jacket sleeves too long on mine. Had to trim that down so he didn't look like he was wearing his any of his big brothers' jackets. |

Yeah, Punk just got a new tat so it's never going to be complete but i'm really happy with it!

Exactly my point so saying Punk is "Complete" is a far far thing is what im saying.. And too add a couple tattoo's but still be missing all the rest, i would rather just leave E11 Punk as is cause its never going too be complete Thing is, to me it's a toy. It's not an exact miniature replica clone of a real subject. I half-expect that some details would be left out - no matter how much it's marketed as "adult collector". And this particular subject matter changes his look constantly (now dead fish tat) afterall he is human. So yeah, realistically we'll never get the most accurate Punk ever. But the tats make it that much better. See, WWE will never pay the royalties associated with Hasbro's G.I. Joe Cobra logo or Pepsi's logo, so it's a pipe dream thinking we'll ever get a Mattel-produced figure like that. To me, this is the next best thing and worth it. |

Ppl sure are adding stuff too it like its more than a toy though lol ya gotta agree there.. mine are just toys and i leave them as is.. cause thats all they will ever be are toys.. They are nice tattoo's yes! but there are reasonings mattel cant make those.. what dean is doing now is illegal on a long stretch, which is why im very surprised he keeps advertising his name associated with them everyday. As you said Hasbro makes G.I. Joe and Pepsi owns its logo, so for him too associate his name with distributing these tat's illegally and for a profit that is Not worth it at all on his part in the long run.. same with Mattel if they just went printing out tattoo's to make us happy we would never get anymore figs cause they would be neck deep in law suits like crazy, that would prob be the end of there company. Nice lookin tattoo's and yes worth it too the consumer but to the distributor down the road, it would all be a waste of time its only illegal if dean is trying to pass them off as real product.. from what you are saying.. customizing in general would be illegal... |

Nice work on Punk. I dislike how Mattel does not hem the shirts, this is why Ralph is still the number one guy for clothing.

ummm.. no its not! if you take something that is from a licensed company or corporation, reproduce it, and sell it for cash thats illegal. Customizing is not illegal.. you can make whatever ya want and keep it for your own enjoyment, or hell even give it away free there is nothing wrong with that, but once you "Bite" someones trademarked logo, reproduce it, and put a price on it to distribute too buyers then it becomes illegal. I know this cause i got yelled at myself from RSC for promoting a buddies custom skirts business and also being in business myself, there are just some things you can and can not do. hence is the reason Mattel is not just up and stealing Hasbro and Pepsi's logos too put on punk. If it were "customizing" and legal, im sure they would have done it by now but yeah you cant take other logos and just slop them on figures without paying a license so thats why mattel dont do it there are a few gi joe related sites that i shop from.. who reproduce hasbro product... they rename it, and sell it.. they are rather well known on the net and within the joe community.. the only time they have had hasbro step in , was when they named stuff the same as the trademarked item... for what ever reason hasbro was fine with them duplicating things as long as it was KNOWN that it wasnt affiliated with or selling actual hasbro products... so maybe company pick and choose which to fight against? |

Thats not hating lol Guys like you are the ones getting all heated up over nothing cause the truth is too big to understand for some reason, then start callin ppl haters etc. But i didnt see anyone on this board bash anyones work or say anything personal "Hating" on anyone, or saying anything but the truth as too why punk cant have his tat's calling Dean a criminal for making decals for us certainly sounds like hating to me. . . |

Nice purchases. I f'n love that Punk figure. I just got that DM Cena (and an extra Bret) in the mail yesterday too. I haven't opened the Cena yet, but it looks nice.

@ sunglassessteve -
No disrespect towards you, but you come off as very condescending and disrespectful at times. Also - I don't mean to sound like the grammar police or anything, but your posts are hard to read. It's to the point where I usually just skip over your posts. You use a lot of words (but don't say much)... Can you at least put your posts in paragraph form or something? Thanks in advance.
Like I said, no disrespect. Just wanted to point it out to you because I am positive I am not the only one who feels this way,

At the risk of getting a warning and getting this poor thread locked, I just have to say:

- a mid-carder who claims to be "talkin' the truth", but nobody really cares.
