The Major Bludd Thread

[Shai]

When I was a kid, I was pretty sure it was a robotic arm.....makes him more of a bad ass...the guy lost his arm in battle....

Yep. Pretty much what I always assumed, too.

 

[thenammagazine]

Add me to this theory as well.

Also, Bludd is as hi-tech as mercenaries come, so it would stand to reason that he'd have a cybernetic arm.

 

[EVILFACE]

I still stand it was a arm shield for his gun.

But who cares, make the figure already!!

Major Bludd isn't really high on my list of favorite Joes or Cobras, but I would like to get him eventually. I thought it was a shame how he was dealt with in Resolute.

I think the arm should remain in the static position, as the original toy did.

 

[lerath666]

why would you want that?

 

[karamazov80]

why would you want that?

Because. . .that's how it was on the original toy, as I said.

 

[lerath666]

but this isn't the original toy. it's something new. the original toy was that way to cut costs. would you want any sideshow figures of the earlier joes not to have arm swivels?

this warrents a POLL! https://www.sideshowcollectors.com/forums/showthread.php?t=56962

Here, let me try to word this differently. he can have all the mechanical stffs on that arm, and simply have a black sleeve over it to cover the joint, and you simply don't need to bend his elbow, asthetic preserved. I'm sorry, it's just the concept of not wanting articulation in it baffels me. It's not like he could not move his elbow in the cartoon, or the comic.

 

[da Bronx Commando]

The arm needs to be articulated, whether robotic or just a shield. I also feel that he would need a crapload of weapons. Way more than the rocket gun and back pack.

 

[lerath666]

they could make him Explosives oriented. A bazooka, a Law, some C4, etc etc etc.

 

[Khev]

Bludd should definitely have articulated arms. The vintage character could move his right arm even if the toy could not.

 

[EVILFACE]

Articulated.

 

[lerath666]

ok. glad I'm not alone here. i know there are a fair number of people who approved that hasbro did that to the 25th annaversery figure as a tribute. i hated it there too.

 

[DPrime]

I'd love to see a Sideshow Bludd. I think his arm definitely needs to be articulated as well... maybe the "armor" could also be removable?

 

[The Mike]

The exclusive could be an unarticulated arm for purists....

 

[MANDO]

I hope they give him a sniper rifle!
