CM Punk's latest headscan doesn't have sculpted facial hair. I have my theory, maybe I'm right, maybe I'm wrong.
The attire that B24 is released in is one that he has worn several times. He wore it at Royal Rumble, and then a month later at elimination chamber. Except at elimination chamber he was clean shaven. That lasted about 2 weeks, I believe.
Now, in what ridiculously happens in my brain, I honed in on one detail the following night after Elimination Chamber on RAW. I remember it still and even found a photo and attached it here. Michael Cole had his BAF sitting at the commentators table. I remember Punk even making a joke about it looking like Adam Carolla.
What I'm guessing is that means that MDT was at that RAW show scanning people for figures that night and that's where this punk came from. I understand that we aren't going to get a clean shaven Punk, even if it was accurate, just because most people aren't going to remember that one or two week period of the entire year where Punk didn't have a beard.
I'm debating, for the sake of variety and partially from boredom with what's out, to buy another Punk and acetone the beard. It's not the worst I've ever seen, but non-sculpted beards don't look very good compared to sculpted ones. I'm willing to bet that this one, just like the final John Morrison scan which did not have the beard painted on his final (B14) release, that this headscan will pop all the more.

I think that's the reason that the last two Punk scans have looked like Billy Mays. He needs brown hair and a brown, sculpted beard instead of jet black hair and a painted black one. Arm & Hammer Baking Soda: Best in the World.

Very interesting. I just assumed it was based off the Rumble match w/ Ziggler. I never noticed the beard is unsculpted. Id love to see how it looks tho I'm not willing to acetone my Punk's beard lol.

This was one of the first things I noticed about that new scan. I still think it looks decent enough, even with the painted beard, but it is still a little off.
I decided to pull a cheap fix-up and I painted a beard on my E18 Wade Barret, and it doesn't look bad, but still a little off. I hate to say it but even if one's beard may only be a couple millimeters thick it does effect the facial structure on a headscan.
Maybe this is why Mattel is saying that CM Punk figures eat up cost. The guy changes his look so often that maybe Mattel is having a hard time keeping up. I am sure they lost money on his E11 headscan.

Yeah I think the Crooked beard ruins the scan. I would love to see how it turns out...

I have an extra B24 Punk that I got for half off at K-Mart last week that after reading this, I may try it. If I do, I will post pictures.
Previously, I had acetoned the hair off an extra Hunico which I thought looked much better afterwards.
My only concerns here would be acetoning part of his hair line off by accident or his lip ring paint. This certainly won't be as easy as acetoning a full head of hair off.

Arm & Hammer Baking Soda: Best in the World. Coincidentally, that looks like Mason Ryan's Rookie figure, too. Mattel doesn't do paint apps as well as Jakks. That's my only complaint, really.
