Yes, this is in the running for the best Bludd figure and one that I am keeping my eyes open for. It is a very nice update that holds true to the original design. I also like the weapon you picked for him. This is an excellent pic Scar. Nicely done! __________________ You have the look of a man who accepts what he sees because he is expecting to wake up.

I wanted to choose figures that are not seen too often, as well as personal favorites. The gun I gave him I think is from one of the new sculpt bats from a few years ago. I got my Chinese Major Bludd off of Ebay just a few weeks ago. That would be your best bet on getting one. __________________ My Flickr Page "It was long ago, and it was far away, and it was so much better than it is today."

Mike T Veteran Offline --> Posts: 297 --> Join Date: Sep 2006	Re: Target Range - Chinese Major Bludd (1992?) This is my favorite version of Bludd. It is just a great figure and no modern Bludd has yet surpassed the elegant simplicity of the mold. I like the weapon you chose for him, though I tend to just give him traditional V1 accessories. For those looking for them, Chinese Bludds (and Chinese Flints for that matter, are pretty easy to find. Usually, a carded one will run under $15 or so. At that price, just buy one and open it. Both figures are well worth it! __________________ Mike's G.I. Joe Page

Lava Boss Veteran Offline --> Posts: 3,378 --> Join Date: Apr 2006	Re: Target Range - Chinese Major Bludd (1992?) I can understand the appeal given the quirks that other Bludd figures have. I don't own one. But this figure seems a bit overrated by its fans. He's got two colors, black and brown. Pretty darn drab. Plus Lamprey mixed with Gen. Flagg...odd mesh. Still, no grenades, elbow spikes, underarticulated rights arms, shells strapped to chest or bulky JvsC body. Maybe it is a gem. I prefer Bludd's original look, but it needed a better figure. (I have my doubts the 25th line will fufill that, too) Wasn't Chinese carded Duke technically different? Had Hit'n Run's arms like Tiger Force Duke, but in original colors.

Outrider It's been a great ride! Offline --> Posts: 14,302 --> Join Date: Jun 2005	Re: Target Range - Chinese Major Bludd (1992?) I think of this figure as Bludd in his winter gear. It's not a bad figure, but could never be the best Bludd as long as the DTC version is around. __________________ "The future's uncertain and the end is always near." - The Doors "Roadhouse Blues".

But the ARAH Bludd rules! He and TF Flint, Lifeline V1, Battle Corps Destro, Cobra Commander V1 all appeared here in the UK in a very cheap shop. I'm pretty sure Dial-Tone V! and Roadblock V2 were also availible too... Selling for around $4 each. __________________ * Pavel is a Geordie! *
