Yeah, I totally get that most people on this board prefer Elite and I get it if your purely an Elite collector wanting him. I just made a pact with myself to abstain from Elites, ha. I get all worked up when I hear someone else around me found him, but I've gotta realize I truly don't like the figure. I prefer his slicked back look and we're most certainly getting that (hope it's with the Macho figure). I also don't like the expression on his face, but that's just me. It's still a cool looking figure for the first short-haired Punk. Wonder if they're gonna use that scan in the future, as it's already out of date. Maybe Heritage figs.
they already said that work on future Punk's were put on hold due to his contract, so i'm willing to bet the Macho 2 pack will have the same scan. I was kinda worried about that, ha. Oh well, if that's the case, I'll make do. But they were working on it before (maybe they whipped up a quick scan? The contract debates must have been out of nowhere if they released an Elite and were on their way with the 2-Pack) and a) the scan isn't updated (I know that's insignificant in a lot of cases) and b) the Elite heads tend to be a tad bigger. I bet you're right, though. Still, the plus of waiting for a Basic is that Punk's kind of doughy in real life, yet the Elite body makes him look scrawny. So, Basic fits him best.

It's one of my favorites in my Elite collection right now, but I look forward to seeing an updated version later on in the line and like most I'm anxious to see how the BP-14 will look.

I think it's cool. It's going to hold me over until we hopefully get a Basic Punk with slicked back hair and a new attire.

It's a great figure. I normally only have Basics on my current roster's shelf, but I couldn't resist having him on there for now.
Hopefully we get a good basic Punk sooner than later. I ordered the Savage/Punk set, but I have a feeling the Punk may be in his Savage tribute gear.
