I was looking at both a basic and elite CM Punk and I noticed that the figure is missing his Pepsi Tattoo. Is this because of a Trademark issue with Pepsi? I know that Mattel's Hot Wheels brand has had issues with licensing with Robby Gordon when they made Bad Mudder which was based off of Robby Gordon's 1997 F150 baja truck and was only available for 1 year until it got pulled.

Yup, his Pepsi tattoo and Cobra tattoo cannot be put on his figures because of copyright issues with both companies.
BTW, welcome to WFIGs, my fellow Hazletonian!!

I was kind of thinking that that was the reason for the tattoo not being there. I know that some wrestlers that have beer logo tattoos or at least I think they do. Anyway you can't put a beer logo on a kids toy. I know for a fact because I Sometimes collect NASCAR diecast. If the car is being sold where kids toys are sold, they censor the beer name by replacing it with the name of the driver in the beer logo font or team name. |

Actually, Jakks ECW 1 figure had the Cobra tatoo. Guess that is one area they beated Mattel in.

Actually it was just a red spade of sorts, not the actual Cobra logo. They also had a red (or was it blue?) circle where the Pepsi logo would be. |

I wish that they would put SOMETHING in place of his Cobra and Pepsi tats like Jakks did in ECW 1, so it's not just an empty space

In almost all cases where this occurs we choose to omit the mark rather than subsitute it for an innacurate one. So I say, get out your sharpees and get busy!!!!!!!! |

It looks naked with nothing there Yeah, but then everyone would bitch that its inaccurate and they'd rather it be blank or one solid color so its less to customize or something |
