That Basic also is newer than the Elite that is pictured. (the Elite has longer hair while the Basic has shorter hair) Very true, I just checked Elite 20 and it does indeed have the Zombie Chick tattoo. (painted green, no less) That's the first Elite I've seen with that tattoo. (I don't own that one, but I just looked up a photo)   Also notice it still has the shoulder blade tattoos which the Basics don't have. |

I know this left shoulder tattoo has been missing from all of the Elites I've seen...  I think you've confused your Basics and Elites. That image clearly shows an Elite with the tattoo and a Basic without the tattoo. I think you need to turn your sarcasm detector up a notch. |

CM Punk has more tattoos than I do. Get to it Mattel!
In all seriousness, the Elite provides more accuracy than the Basic does. Keep in the era each figure is based on when comparing them.
If you really want to be precise, remember that neither can sport the Pepsi or Arashikage logos that Punk has and that the neck tat does correlate to the exact place Punk has it on his neck/ear.
My point is that there is bound to be some discrapancy here & there based on the volume, release dates and level of detail vs. cost efficiency in production. I think we get a pretty exact, detailed product, being these are action figures and not statues or high end collectables.
Just my .02

I don't pay that much attention to his tattoos so my question would still be how long has he had the zombie tattoo? Did he have it in 2010? Or did he get it sometime in 2011-2012?

Im not hating but does it really matter?, it isn't like your displaying them back first, stop crying its only one tattoo. (from mattel during a Q and A) bill said it costs mattel a lot to add the tattoos; that's why punk is so much to make due to all the colours where a basic doesn't have colour
It doesn't really matter.

But it does matter,these figures are supposed to be as accurate as possible.Imagine punk without his sleeves or chest tattoo?Wouldn't look the same would it,especially to people who put people in action poses,then it is obvious. |

What you talking about, it's one tiny tattoo on his back shoulder that no one has noticed except from you probably, It's not like he is missing his sleeve tat is it? |

The Elite he picked was on of the early ones where Punk had long hair (e1, all stars, E6)which all 3 were based off of before he had the chest tattoo and I think a couple other tats as well. |

The "zombie chick" is one of Punk's (relatively) newer tattoos. Not sure if he had it by MITB 2011, going to check now, but that might be why it doesn't appear on any Elite before 20. Does the WM one have it?

I think Punk is both a toy company's dream and nightmare. Dream as in he's got a great marketable look that kids want to buy toys of, nightmare as in he always changes his look up so much that it's impossible for the toy company to make a perfectly accurate toy of him. Not to mention his Pepsi and Cobra tattoos...

one thing i want to thank mattel for doing with the tattoos on figures... thanks for not printing them on joints so when the arm is down at the side of the figure, a portion of the tattoo is missing.. i HATED how jakks did that.. throws off the look of a lot of figures...

Can't speak for myself, but the Basic 29 CM Punk does appear to have a bit more tattoos added to the top of the shoulder.  |
