My awesome fiance knows how huge of a Punk fan I am so for my b-day she ordered me B29 Punk (two - one to keep MOC/ one to open) because I really wanted this new Punk w/ updated scan. Originally she was gonna make me wait til my b-day to open it (April 30), but she was super nice and let me have it early (she rocks). Below are some pix and my little review. A running knee to the face! A great new Punk figure. I never purchased the two pack w/ HHH that this attire was in so fortunately I am not getting a repeat attire. Overall, a fairly simple and basic figure, but I LOVE the new scan and it looks way better in person than in the pictures. I personally think it looks more like him than the last two scans did and I'm happy and pleasantly suprised we got his updated hair and facial hair this soon from Mattel.

i think it's a solid figure and i'm glad they're changing up the heascan. also noticing that even though the trademark tats are still left out, they seem to be filling in the empty spots a little more so it's not so obviously empty. I might actually grab this one since i don't own a single basic punk and i have all the other headscans (minus B2) represented in my collection.
thanks for the pics! and your girl seems to kick just as much butt as mine (she got me E20 Punk just because she "liked how colorful" he was)

Very cool! I'm surprised its still in stock honestly! This is the perfect figure to grab up and swap with any elite Punk from 11-20 to make a current elite CM Punk. Especially since Punk is not scheduled in the elite line til 24 (Oct-Nov) I for one plan on grabbing this up Wed if it's still in stock and switching heads on my elite ASAP! This and The Big Show with that (FINALLY) Angry head scan! Both will make nice welcoming updates to my elite display.

Congrats & Happy Birthday! I too just got my Punk today. And I agree the scan is better in person. I think that if Mattel wouldn't have painted the sides of the hair so dark people would love it.

Yeah, that prototype didn't do that scan justice. It's a great scan, and the beard isn't as bad as it seemed.

I can't get over how people don't like this scan yet celebrate E16 which is horrible.

Seems like all of Punk's scans look much better in hand than they do in pictures. I can't wait for the elite they release with this scan, gonna pick it up and re-paint the beard and eyebrows, along with painting the hair a lighter brown. I feel the past 3 Punk scans (this one included) all look MUCH better once they've been re-painted to be more accurate to his real life eyebrows and facial hair. Congrats on the pick up! Always nice to know when someone has a lady who supports their hobby.

This scan does look a lot better in these pics and I have already seen a fix-up using this scan. So I am confident it is better once repainted. The only shame is that we shouldn't have to go that far to get a decent looking Punk figure. The only short haired head scan I didn't have to repaint so far was his E11 head.

You guys must be on something, that is the best short-haired Punk headscan Mattel has done without question
