1/6 Major Bludd custom, my take. [UPDATED!]

Where to start... Been wanting to jump into to Cobras for a while but very little of their gear is easily put together. Of course SSC is doing a great job with them but as impatient as a prom date so I've decided to try my hand the enemy's ranks. The head is modified from TDK Bruce Wayne which to me never much looked like Bale but damn is it mean looking. Outfit was dyed brown(shirt is Dragon, pants no clue). About the only on here that is stock is the boots, but I added spurrs to those for a little more regalia. Everything else is basically scratch built. The helmet started out as a nazi helmet but very little of the original is still there. For now that's all the elbow articulation the armor allows for (see below) .

Now for some pics. I know these aren't the greatest, I'll get more tomorrow shots done tomorrow though still needs a few more touches I think.

That looks great! And the Bale headsculpt looks very nice as Bludd.

Re: 1/6 Major Bludd custom, my take.

That's a great looking Bludd custom. Nice use of the Bale sculpt.

Re: 1/6 Major Bludd custom, my take.

I like it MANDO

Did we ever reach a general consensus on whether or not the right arm was a fake arm or just armor?

Bad ass Mando! Didn't even notice the Bale sculpt with the helmet on.

Re: 1/6 Major Bludd custom, my take.

I like everything except the helmet.Nice job.

Is that a Cobra Trooper helmet, Mando? or a custom?

Re: 1/6 Major Bludd custom, my take.

I still say the arm is armor covered due to his missile gun.

Thanks for the comments guys!

Helmets definitely too big. Started to realize that while I was taking the shots last night. So now I'm modifying it again and it should look a lot more like the original than the Vaderesque one above!

It was built off a dragon nazi helmet and somewhat modeled to resemble the Trooper helmets. I was thinking it would be neat if they had similar helmets since Bludd's gear ,on some level, must come from Cobra, he's got a glock for the same reason.

That's what the Collector's Guide says it as well so I'm going with that. I did used to think of it as a bionic arm of sorts as he's rarely without it in this costume if ever. The original figure even has a claw-like hand though it's not featured on the cardart, cartoon, or in the comic.

Makes perfect sense.

Yeah, I don't believe he was ever depicted as having a robotic arm in either the cartoon or the comic, plus they did a second Bludd figure that had normal articulation.

Loose or Mr. Roboto you are still amazing MANDO
