Here we go again.  Time to take a look at one of the most recent figures to drop for the G.I. Joe Classified line – Major Bludd.  Another fantastic figure tied to the absolutely awful Target exclusive Cobra Island  campaign.  Technically, this figure has not even been announced yet.  He isn’t in most Target systems as existing.  And yet, stores are getting him and putting him out, randomly.  Assuming it’s going to be like the last rounds – each store will get a case, with no set date.  They’ll be gone soon after, or even before they hit shelves.  They may or may not get random restocks after that, with no way to know.   The store may or may not know wtf is going on with it.  Blah blah, cry a river.  I get it.  At this point, I did not even attempt to go looking, I just payed going price on eBay.  Between gas, time, and the pure concentrated rage I feel going in and out of Target looking for these things made it worth it.  Aside from exclusives that I have no choice for – not spending a dime at that store again.

ANYWAY, on to the figure.  It’s great!  G.I. Joe Classified has been awesome since launch, even the less than perfect releases are still good IMO.  Major Bludd is one of the really good ones though.  Fantastic head sculpt, gear and weaponry that touches the original in essence while upgrading for modern times.  Retro notes with the helmet, missile pistol, dog tags.  Even a touch with the MARS logo on his now fully robotic arm.   It’s just a great version for a core character, one that should have been available at mass retail first.

We’ve run him for a set of pics, both basic and hero shots after the break.  Read on to check it out!

Looks like Major Bludd is joining the Classified ranks! T-shirt maker 80stees is producing shirts with the artwork seen on Classified promotional art. They have in their system one for Major Bludd, which specifically references it as “Major Bludd Classified Series G.I. Joe Shirt”. The art features the Major in modern tech gear and is looking pretty damn good if I do say so myself. No guarantee this is coming in toy form, or is coming looking like this, or if it is – when, but if I was a betting man this looks to be our Classified Major Bludd, at some point.

Thanks to Hisstank member GIJoeComics08 for letting us know what the theme for the 2018 JoeCon is…

Slaughter’s Marauders Vs Python Patrol

Python Peril:
Marauders to the Rescue!

GIJoeCon 3 3/4” Figure Set

The COBRA PYTHON PATROL is an elite unit of troopers
that have been handpicked for their various tactical specialties.
They are expertly trained and equipped for stealth and infiltration
missions. They wear unique camouflage grid uniforms to mask
their presence, which confuses radar detection systems and allows
them to accomplish sinister operations around the globe.
Using the latest radar absorbing materials and stealth technology,
PYTHON PATROL 2.0 rears its ugly head with a surgical
strike against their sworn enemy. Led by the nefarious MAJOR
BLUDD, they have successfully captured a “Real American Hero”
and key member of the G.I. JOE team.

The SLAUGHTER’S MARAUDERS unit is called into action
to mount a dire rescue mission of their original commander.
A fellow Marine Drill Instructor, SGT. SMASHER takes the
squad leader position and selects highly specialized soldiers for
a fast attack, ground assault into enemy territory to combat these
devious COBRA forces.

PYTHON PATROL 2.0 is a dangerous unit, but it will take more
than their special uniforms and slithering nastiness to get the best
of the entire SLAUGHTER’S MARAUDERS team!

Our 2018 exclusive 3 3/4-inch
convention set contains a highly
requested G.I. JOE team and updated
COBRA army that are available for the
first time in the modern era 25A action
figure style. This special edition 15
action-figure set includes:
Five G.I. JOE team members: Sgt.
Smasher, Footloose, Hardball, Mutt
& Junkyard (K-9), Spirit & Freedom
(eagle).

Ten COBRA team members: Major Bludd, Python H.E.A.T. Viper
(troop builder x 3), Python Lamprey (troop builder x 3), Python
Laser Viper (troop builder x 3).
Each of these great teams comes with their classic weapons,
accessories, figure stands and file cards!

The G.I.Joe Redemption project from the PHX Customs crew has come and gone and it goes without saying that the team has hit another grand slam home run!

For the last three summers, the team at PHXCustoms (bucky, Dusty79, Oreobuilder and more recently DanoftheDead) have presented their little Joe-verse that they call GI Joe: Resurgence. Since 2014, it has grown in scope to include not only custom figures and vehicles, but packaging mock-ups, artwork and story lines recounted through the file cards. In 2016, PHX Customs concluded their first trilogy with a massive battle at Cobra Mountain that saw Cobra Commander defeated and most of Cobra captured and fractured. Following the roll out of Resurgence 3, the team felt like they needed a break. However, they couldn’t resist coming back to their Joe-verse for a short story that would introduce the next chapter of the Resurgence saga coming in 2018.

Below is a re-cap of what was shared throughout the course of the project, but do yourself a favor…make sure to join us after the break to see even more images of these awesome customs!
