Once again your on the money. Give us 13 more characters we have yet to get in ME.

This one looks pretty damn fantastic, honestly. It definitely looks like they chose the vest for this version as a callback to the V2/V4 sculpt, so I could see them reusing the build for either of those two. I like the fact that they took a few liberties with his weapon set, and gave him his classic pistol instead of the backpack attachment weapon he couldn't properly use. I'm a little disappointed they seem to have forgotten the dish/muzzle that goes on the end of the gun barrel. I realize V5 was missing that part too, but I'd prefer if they didn't repeat that mistake. Probably my only real complaint, honestly, aside from the fact that I may never be able to get my hands on one!

Sorry I stand corrected I thought you were referring to V3. Though it would make little sense to update the V4 over the V2.

They however chose to give him the Version 1's arm, which is not accurate to the Python Patrol figure, which would make sense if they were going to repaint him as Version 4, because that one was intended to resemble his original figure.

I was under impression that people hated that non-poseable right arm, but I was also under the impression that the club pays almost no damned attention to what fans want. So I'm not that surprised.

there's no articulated version of it, so it's the only way to give Bludd his iconic arm.

I articulated that arm on my 25th Bludd. But like I said earlier, I don't know if I want to cut up such an expensive figure. :(

I like the head, but it looks like they will not be able to give us a 50th V1 updated Bludd. Hopefully they can use the head, arm, and 7 pack Resolute Destro legs to give us a good V1 update.

Bludd looks pretty cool. No use for a PP Bludd here but at least he's kinda cool for those that want it.

GigaMach · 02-20-2018, 09:23 PM

I love how this looks, but that damn arm makes the figure absolutely useless! I HATE that arm. The fact that we still won't get a 25th Bludd that can be posed is a disgrace, and I've been pretty damn positive on this set until now. The ONE figure I was really looking forward to, and...

I got Club-ed. We all did.
