Hey everyone, I picked up a Basic 37 Batista at retail earlier today. I don't know if this has been pointed out already, but I opened it and noticed that it was missing the belly tattoo. I checked RSC and the photos there also show the figure without the tattoo. Does anyone know why Mattel excluded it? The WrestleMania XXX Battle-Pack Batista has it.  |

Very weird. I hadn't noticed until now. Poor show, MDT.

I bet Batista wishes it was missing in real life too.

Holy crap...I didn't notice it till you pointed it out. That's going to be my new Batista for my fed since I freaking hate that tattoo.

I swear to god I was just going to post, "How do people not notice this stuff?" Seriously though, it's a Batista figure. How do you not look for that awful tattoo very first thing?

I bet Batista wishes it was missing in real life too. He had it in Evolution and this figure is based on after that timeframe. |

Not even the correct trunks either. He wore red at WM 21.

I wouldn't be surprised if no one at Mattel noticed. It's a pretty minute detail.

I think they just made a couple of mistakes... obviously the belly tattoo - and, as pointed out, it is his Wrestlemania 23 attire from his match with Undertaker, NOT his Wrestlemania 21 attire (which they have already released).

Theres been a few of these slips lately, the tattoo is a pretty important detail, they had noticed he has 2 eyes, so surely they noticed that? or should have! Like the Bret Hart Elite FB, with no elbow pads, get a grip Mattel

It must be with Shawn's stomach hair. Maybe the stomach detail paint machine is on strike.

I had noticed it missing, I wasn't sure if he had the tat during the time period. Batista was largely active during the time period I had stopped watching.
Yeah, there are lots and lots of little things that keep happening here in the past year. Every time a toy line lasts this long with this many releases, stuff like this happens. Did anybody notice how softer the plastic has been getting, too? Obviously we've all noticed the inordinate amount of paint slop.
