I picked up an E29 CM Punk at the local Wal-Mart yesterday. I get him home, open him up, and this is what I'm met with: Now, unless he's had major laser removal surgery in recent months, this is obviously not an accurate portrayal of CM Punk, as his back tattoos on his left shoulder are missing. Has anyone else encountered this?

I just ordered it, I hope mine will be fine. Just watched this video and there's the tattoo you're talking about:

Seeing as how this was probably going to be his last figure, I had hoped to do my usual Pepsi/Cobra/Spitfire fix-up on this one and have this be his legacy in plastic. He seems to be rather plentiful at retail, so maybe I'll come across another.

My problem with this figure is that it is warming shelves everywhere and I need E30 to get to retail

I'm getting it, I've seen it a few times at K-Mart and Walmart, but haven't really decided to pick it up until I saw that review.

I just checked mine, and he's got the tattoos on the back. I guess it was just a bad luck of the draw. like you said though, he's more than easy to find, so you could always just keep the hoodie on the one missing the back tats.

I'd just cover it with the hoodie if you're displaying it. If you're playing, I'd just buy another and return that one.

It happens. My e29 punk is fine, but my e24 Barrett is missing his right shoulder tattoo. Hopefully you can exchange it sometime.

The only problem I have with it, is the damn kickpads not being painted.

Mine has the tattoos. On the bright side, there's a plethora of them available at retail...

This Punk figure is now officially the biggest Elite shelf-warmer in my area of all time. It just barely beats Elite 21 Rey Mysterio. I probably won't be getting this Punk, even though it will probably be his last elite. You could take it back, or just wait for a sale and get another. Either way, it sucks that it's missing tattoos.

Hell even if the basic 40 had them I would try a fix up for the elite. Ugh I hate thinking about the possibilities of that

MOST people wanted E29 punk's kickpads to be blank as it it weren't "accurate" enough considering his last elite E20 had painted kickpads and now those same people are saying "why didn't Mattel paint the kickpads" or "Mattel, what's wrong with you not painting the kickpads"
