The CM Punk pics show him in the short kneepads yet I can't think of a previous Punk figure that didn't come with the sleeves? Is this a sign they are changing it up to be more accurate?

When did he even last wear the Bret Hart attire? He wore it during breast cancer month in October.

so i'm hoping it's for an upcoming Battle Pack "fantasy" set like the Series 14 w/ Macho Man. It'll be basic 41, SummerSlam Heritage (2012). Otherwise it'd have the newer head. B42 is the heritage set with Natalya. B41 has Bray, Drew Mac, and some others.

Its very possible they meant to use it in the heritage set but moved it up due to his leaving. Either or, we should just be really thankful we are getting it.

I must have missed all these threads about the lineups, this is all news to me. I guess it wouldn't be unheard of though for two Punks in a row, since basic 12,13,and 14 all had John Morrison right before he was released. Maybe Mattel is trying to squeeze as many Punks by before his contract is up? And by the way, did they ever confirm a two pack of CM Punk and Ryback or was that just a rumored pack?

It's in the next set along with the Rhodes boys (I think?) and Los Matadores. Also it's way more likely that the pink Punk is in local heroes and the blue one is in the Summerslam set since he actually wore that outfit at summerslam.

The only way I would get the Tribute Punk is if it came in a BP with Bret Hart.

All righty. Glad to hear confirmation. I collect all the Punks and all the Rybacks, so this is a homerun. Also, I think that Rey looks incredible. I was interested in getting a better scan for Rey, and they delivered and I'm glad to see the Bat-Rey torso being used with the sculpted short. It looks so cheap when they just color someone's skin the color of their shirt.

I'll probably pass on Mysterio but both Punks look great and will most likely buy them.

The hart attire will more than likely be BP29 he wore it regularly in October and he was feuding with Ryback in October it makes sense to have him in that gear. So im pretty sure it will be that.
