Wow I figured he would at least have a Shiny belt and the grey Shirt. Especially at the price he is going for. What does that mean "they are becoming increasingly expensive to make" I really don't understand that explination. cost of goods man, mattel needs to buy the materials to make shirts, paint tattoos, etc. punk has ALOT of color on the figure itself (tattoos) and then giving him a shiny belt doesn't allow much extra money for something like a shirt. id almost rather them give him uncolored tattoos if that would keep his figures getting the cloth shirts

His tattoos not having color would suck. Im a huge Punk fan & the tattoos on his elites are so freaking cool. Like you I own every Punk figure by Jakks & Mattel and the work Mattel has done with the Punk figures has been absolutely great. One of the reason Im hoping this Elite Punk is new, is because Mattel always knocks it out of the park with his figures.

I guess the paint for his tats... which doesn't sound credible to price him at 29,99 with only a belt... If he has a different headsculpt I guess that would justify the price.

I'm guessing the Punk will either be in his yellow/black attire and hoping it will be the orange/black. I really wanted his In Punk We Trust shirt on a figure (removeable) I've started buying 2 of every Elite Punk now, 1 to keep MOC and with the shirts on it looks so much better I'd bet this next one is just going to be a re-package of WM28 Elite with the dull belt and no green details. Really sad that "cost" is so much, it's ruining the best line of figures ever. Rubber shirts, dull belts or no shirts in most cases. Why can't they just not make ONE set per year and use the money they would save on that spread out across other Elite sets so we could get cloth shirts & shiny belts That wouldn't save money, at least not in terms of spending more on the other sets. The budgets are based on how much a set will make. 6 sets = 6 lots of profit. 5 sets = 5 lots of profit. They're not going to spend the budget for 6 sets to only make 5 lots of profit.

pre ordered whole set. Now that I sold off the majority of my basics, I am an elite enthusiast, I own every elite to date, what's to stop me now? That would be cool to see in some pics you could make a thread maybe...
