...because the Undertaker attire was for a huge Wrestlemania match - and the figure is also part of a themed Wrestlemania 29 exclusive series. Simple. Def nailed it

They could put it in the baf for spring. They won't but, they could. No they couldn't. Hopefully Punk wears it again soon since he's face again. As far as a figure goes it still won't Mattel they still won't make it. They've said numerous times it will NEVER be made because it will not fit into any lines production budget. There are too many colors between the attire and his tats. Each line (basic & Elite) is allocated a certain number of colors to stay within the budget. The attire alone is too many colors for a Basic and between the attire and his tattoos there's too many colors to fit in am elite line. So they can't make it. What is so hard to understand that this is continuously brought up?

Someone asked about a hoody for CM Punk and Bill said that wouldn't fit into the budget.

How about you just get over it? This is why I HATE this site at times, I truly believe the main reason people want this outfit is just because Mattel says they won't make it.

And one time went on to say something like a Basic figure is allotted 3 or 4 colors total. And an elite was something like 6 or 7 so that figure would never happen.

He left the possibility open for a hoodie, but said that if they did one they would have to scale back on the attire colors. I'd personally be fine with an Elite Punk in something like his black and white trunks with plain black kick pads if it meant he could come with a hoodie. I know the chances of that happening are little to none like Bill said, but still.

A better example would be the Elite Halloween Rey, since Punk's Taker gear is for a special WM set. I think he only wore that one twice, too.
I realize the ship has probably sailed for retail, but with so many people dying to see this attire (I suspect since many of us who love Punk probably also love Bret), it seems perfect for a "fan demanded" Ringside exclusive. Would've been a better choice than that Kane, that's for sure.

Hopefully this ends up being the next RSC exclusive.

Do you really need Punk in that attire that badly? They already made him in pink for the Savage battle pack. I know it's not the same, but c'mon. Personally I prefer the WM29 a thousand times more, and I can't wait to get my hands on it.

Uh, this attire isn't anymore complex or colorful than any other. White, pink, black. How is that difficult to pull off?

It's about time someone finally decided to ask about the Bret Hart attire...

Right the attire is 3 - pink, black, white. Bit then the tattoos have 5 colors - blue, green, red, orange, yellow. Plus silver for his lip ring. So that's 9 colors not including brown for his hair and eyes if they decided to make them black to cut back on a color. It's still at least 2 colors more than an Elite is allotted to fit in a wave. And that's before they even add a accessory

We've gotten no accessories in exchange for less paint apps than that before. It just seems like if we can get something like HTM and its a "minor miracle" of sorts then we could easily get that Punk. Hell the pink parts would probably be molded anyway, so that puts it back down to 8 colors. It looks like the BoPPV one has just as many to me, and it came with an accessory and a BaF piece.
Looking all over it now it appears WM Punk has 10 colors? Red, black, green, silver, purple, white, yellow, orange, brown(or light black or whatever), and blue.

I thought it was only one Bill now? Didnt boss Bill transfer to another department? I personally don't care about this attire, it would be cool if it was released but it doesn't look like it but MDT needs to stay consistent with their answers or it keeps giving people hope that there's a chance it will be released.

And that's before they even add a accessory Every wave is different, it also depends on who else is released in the same wave. A wave with Ambrose and Rollins would be cheaper since they are all black with their attires which would allow other figures in the series to use more budget like Bill said in the Q&A. E20 Punk also used his tats and blue, red and white along it comes with a VAC belt so it's pretty much up to MDT how they want to use the budget per figure per wave.

His tats and hand tape also used red & white so colors weren't extra colors. as for the dark blue maybe it didn't count because it was molded in the color? I'm just saying what they said in the past. Bottom line is they said it'll never happen so that should be the end of it.
