I'm down with him having the 2-1B arm that he originally had. That was an exclusive part of the figure back then. Why not now?

I love this figure.

I get the feeling that if he did have articulation, people would be posting up how "Hasbro needs to make it right" and have him with an unarticulated arm.

Never happy.

The good thing is, fixing Bludd should be an easy kitbash.

Hiss Driver's torso, the upper legs from one of my extra Dukes, lowers from Red Star, and a spot-o-paint, and THEN you've got perfection.

My main concern early on was the crappy flat-top helmet that looked terrible. They fixed that, so I'm happy. I'd be happier if they'd done him right in the first place, but at least it'll be an easy fix.

I like your idea on the torso and legs. I think others have suggested the Red Star legs too.

I just don't get why he was postponed twice and still ends up simply being a repaint.

Perhaps... but then again, perhaps this is just a proto shot, and the final figure will still be different?

Not bad, not spectacular. Major concern is the backpack. Nothing holding the missles in place, secondary is the "Grampa mouth" WHERE ARE HIS TEETH!!??

The arm...yeah, allright...Homage to the original...yay.

Shoulda' fixed the other things that were wrong if they wanted to be lazy about the arm.

yea, I don't think he's terrible...I like him. I agree about the backpack and that if they were going to push him back twice, then they should have really made him better than he is. At least we get him though.

I love the new Major Bludd figure!
So I'm in a (very small) minority, but I think Zartan's body works fine for him, and the fixed arm is no more a problem for me now than it was back in the 1980's.
Two thumbs up from the UK!
