I asked this question a ways back, it is just the E33 "Bluetista" that is showing all the tats, it will most likely not be released like that.

I believe the figure in that picture is a computer generated prototype of what Elite 30 Batista was SUPPOSED to look like, but Mattel said that they could not produce the boots or torso on time, so we ended up with what we got. Elite 33 Batista will be much better.

But Elite 33 Batista is getting the torso and boots that this figure (elite 30 proto) was SUPPOSED to have. The only reason Elite 33 isn't getting full colored tats is because Batista changed his attire. He started wearing arm sleeves and leg sleeves really early into his return, so it wouldn't have made sense for Mattel to put out a new figure with an outdated attire. Not much you can do about the painted leg sleeves, but if you want you could still pull an arm switch and put Elite 30 arms on Elite 33 Batista. Elite 33 also has a brand new headscan, where Elite 30 is just his old old old 2010 scan without the hair and soul patch painted. I'm not too bummed about the painted arm and leg sleeves on Elite 33 Batista, because it IS accurate.  |

Bluetista version of Batista replaced the version shown in the slide at SDCC but not in time to change the slide. This is one of the reasons we generally don't show product until it is almost complete , to avoid confusion such as this. At SDCC and RSF we make exceptions but even then things may still change from what is shown
I thought the already planned E33 Batista was too similar to E30 figure so when Bluetista appeared it was a no brainer to change
Happy Thanksgiving
MDT

Why wouldn't you guys prefer Bluetista? This figure is boring, Bluetista is so cool looking.

I'm excited for Bluetista! But I'm a little disappointed the skin tone on E33 and E30 don't match up in photos. HOPING its much closer in person so I can give E30 the torso swap |

My plan is to swap arms and legs with Bluetista, keeping the new Dave torso sculpt and the blue trunks and adding all the additional tattoo detailing. Kind of a hybrid of old and new Batista with colored trunks and boring pads and boots. |

Bluetista is cool, but I would have bought both. The E30 is kind of a bummer, but kind of nice at the same time.
