Random Question: Does anyone happen to know why Mattel doesn't include Rey Mysterio's rib tattoo on their figures? I mean, it's not like it's a Pepsi logo or anything... Just curious.  |

Maybe it says some vulgarities...lol.. Even their PPV 2 Survivor Series Rey figure doesn't have the rib tattoos.. Rey had the tattoos at Survivor Series.. There must be a reason why Mattel doesn't do it unless it contains something that shouldn't be read by kids unlike the Randy Orton figure that has the bible verse on his right elbow..

When translated into English, it reads:
"Jesus Christ, you accompany me every day. I ask you to bless me and protect me every time I land on the mat because my life is always on the line. Never leave me alone. Protect me and be with me always. Amen.”

I guess we should be happy that the cross tattoo ain't missing. |

rey is mexican, the hispanic community may not be as christian as rey so they know that rey goes down big with little hispanic kids so it will no include anything 'offensive'

Its probably because they just havent taken the time to add it yet. Besides the Survivor Series figure the other figures are based from before he had the tattoo. And i don't think its too offensive or anything he actually got a hand written message from a little girl that is a fan of his and it was that verse and he got it tattooed on himself because he loved the verse so much.

They probobly are yet to scan it. As King said, most of the figs are from before the tat. If they didnt want to add it because of the religious factors, why did they put on his cross tat?

The only one that should've had it so far is the Survivor Series figure. All the others are based on early 2009 before he had the tattoo.
