The new Survivor Series 2006 Jeff Hardy shown at SDCC looks great and all, the armbands, hair look good and are a nice change. But one notable thing missing from it is his signature arm tattoo. Jeff did have the tattoo at this point in 2006 so it's a pretty big detail to miss. While the figure does look good, the missing tattoo takes away from it in a big way, he doesn't look complete. I really hope this isn't a cost cut in some way, where they sacrificed the tattoo for say the vest or something. Do you think this will turn into a running change like the Ciampa with/without the logo? A massive botch by Mattel? or Some form of cost cut?  |

Maybe the tattoo is copyrighted by the artist? That can happen.

Could still be an early prototype. Prior to SDCC all we saw was an unpainted prototype.

Looks like he has it on the SDCC proto. Those other ones r likely early stolen protos without it.

Wasn’t he just painting crap on his arms at this point?

I really hope it has the tattoo as well. I could care less for the hoodie. Mattel needs to start cranking out more flashback Jeff’s. I want more attitude era, 2000’s short haired Jeff and 2006? Return Jeff too.

It may be like Adam Cole AFA said they will be changing the NA strap to a more accurate maroon colour as it's just an early prototype.

As opposed to Bálor being covered head to toe in black or red paint? Balor uses body paint tho which is probably super washable and comes out easy. Jeff wasn't he used any crap that he thought looked good. Stuff not supposed to go on skin. Was mentioned in a shoot with him |

Confirmed the final product WON'T have the tattoo... That's so disappointing, how does a botch like that even happen?  |
