Have you guys noticed that on the E16 Punk package they've photoshopped the DRUG FREE tattoos off of his fingers? This is on all three images from the front of the package, the side of the package and the back of the package.
Did they do this on other Punk packages?
What better message for kids buying WWE toys than "DRUG FREE"?

Mattel has said before that their "standards and practices" people don't really like "drug" references of any kind.

So, they take time to photoshop it off of the packaging, but leave it on the figure? Strange. Well, I'm happy they left it on the figure, just found it odd that they take it off the package. And speaking of Punk Tattoos, I know they can't put the Pepsi or Cobra tattoos on him, but why not use a derivative of them? If you check out the WWE 13 video game cover, they left the outlines of the cobra, but no inside details. They could do something similar with the Pepsi tattoo (maybe a circle with red on top, straight white line, blue on bottom?) I think it would be a great solution for those who don't have the decals. |

Have you noticed his basic figures still have the DRUG FREE on his knuckles yet his elite figures don't.

Some parents don't really want to see carding that blatantly has 'drug' written on it. With so many people at the ready to complain about such minor things nowadays, it makes sense for Mattel to remove it. Its still on the figure though so its not really an issue.

The figure has it, that's all that matters.

Well it's clear that on the next Raw, he'll find himself like Cena pointed out, get back on crack and resurrect CP Munk.
