Read more about Major Bludd at: Wikipedia Official Site: Hasbro Major Bludd (Sebastian Bludd), is a fictional character from the G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero series of the 1980s. Appearing in both the comic books and the cartoons, Major Bludd is one of the series villains, a mercenary working for the Cobra Organization. Major Bludd first appeared in 1983, he has had 6 figures in the 3 3/4" scale and one convention exclusive figure. Bludd has commanded the Super Sonic Fighters, Python Patrol, and the Skull Squad for Cobra. The original Bludd figure is notable for having a right arm that is one solid piece of black plastic with no joints. It has been speculated that this was meant to represent an artificial or mechanical limb, though it was not portrayed as such in any fiction. Later releases altered the arm to the normal multi-jointed Joe style. A version of Major Bludd was released as part of the Super Sonic Fighters line in 1991. Another version of Major Bludd was released in 1994 as part of the Battle Corps line. The 2000 figure is a repaint of his Sonic Fighters uniform mostly brown, black and silver in some parts. The 2003 figure uses the 94 head and another figure mold in the Python Patrol color scheme. The 2005 JvC/ST/VvV update uses the Blackout mold, Firefly arms and a new head w/ removable helmet. The 2006 version is part of the 2006 Joe Con Mercenaries set. The first 25th/Modern Era Bludd figure uses the first 25th Zartan mold, the right arm that is reminisent of the V1 figure. Later Modern Era versions have him in his true V1 mold and a cartoon version. An Australia, he served in the Australian Special Air Service Regiment and French Foreign Legion before becoming a mercenary. He is wanted on almost every continent for numerous war crimes and even a few crimes against humanity. Bludd is easily identified by his eyepatch and Snidely Whiplash-style mustache. He was also something of a poet at heart, albeit a very bad one, and was possibly the only poet to ever utilize the word "Uzi" in a poem, as seen in this poem from his file card: "When you're feeling low and woozy/slap a fresh clip in your uzi/assume the proper firing stance/and make those suckers jump and dance".
