Sheesh, I remember mailing in flag points. My mom spent a ton of money on my GI Joe obsession. And then you had to wait. Three days out and like 10 days to come in. I was at the mailbox daily like it was going to magically appear the day I sent the envelope.
If Bludd was just in Cobra for the money, he could've just joined the Joes team. That was the headcanon I came up with after getting his figure as a kid ages ago. That the Joes found out why he was in Cobra and offered him a clean slate along with the help he needed for his family so he switched sides.
He was wanted in several countries and the Joes only could have offered him a clean slate for crime he commited in the US, he would have been a diplomatic nightmare.
Issue #19 was when i became a big fan of Major Bludd. He kills General Flagg, kills a Cobra Trooper on the roof (to take his FANG chopper...didn't have to kill him since he was an all but Bludd did anyway) and pretty much kills Scarface by leaving him to die, chained up, in the upcoming explosion......even after Scarface helped him unarm General Flagg. All so he could rescue the Baroness. And Major Bludd didn't rescue her so she wouldn't die in the upcoming explosion or to make things right between them since he left her to die in a burning HISS tank in Issue #16. He rescued her just to save his own neck from Destro. Issue #19 is one of my favorite issues in the entire Marvel run due to the Major Bludd storyline & the conclusion of the Kwinn/Dr. Vemom/Snake Eyes storyline. Great character, and has some great figures too. I have a v1 Major Bludd, the v2 Major Bludd (Sonic Fighter), the v4 Major Bludd from 2000 that came in a 2 pack and a Chinese exclusive Major Bludd figure from 1994. Great character with some great figures.
I think the original file card poem was... “A mercenary’s job is a heartless one / I’m a soldier for hire, like a pawn-shop gun / My ruthless tactics keep you on your toes / Cause I fight em all, whether friends or foes!” although some people say this one came after I think it was the first.
I wish that Koei Tecmo, Bandai Namco, Hasbro Interactive, and EA would make a much improved variant of the Dynasty Warriors/Shin Sengokumusou franchise, but adding a lot more features, in a new G. I. Joe/Action Force game.
Lifelong GI Joe comic collector and love your GI Joe videos. Can you do some videos on vehicles and maybe bases, like the various PITS and cobra island? That would be awesome. Keep up the good work!
Awesome content you can you bring out some new GI Joe stuff though like about the new weapon the new vehicles the new figures like Skydive all the new characters for Life pursuit of Cobra that'd be awesome dudes this is really a cool pool Channel
1985-1986 gijoe cartoon Anyone remembers who the American president looked like? He built a wall before serpentor invaded DC. Dollar announced worthless. Sound familiar. There was even a tale about cobra poisoning all fast food.
Cool history on major bludd but you forgot to mention he also appeared in gi joe second series dic season 2 after sunbow end it before arriving to resolute and renegades
A question?? What was the connection between the u.k comic 'battle action force' and g.i joe?? The main bad guy was baron ironblood, who later became cobra commander ( in the book at least ) was there a deal??
lol X-D You think S.A.S. stands for sea air survive? It stands for Special Air Service! Much like S.B.S. stands for Special Boat Service (or is it squadron?) The Australian S.A.S. is a Aussie version of the British S.A.S.
Too bad Major Bludd did not have much of a role in the original cartoon series aside, from the first feature. Cobra comprised mainly of Cobra Commander, Destro, Baroness and Major Bludd originally. Zartan effectively replaced Major Bludd in the series.

Same here!
To Pawtucket, NJ was it?
Dang, that sound cool. Grew up in the 2000’s so never really had that as a kid
Wow flashback
One of my favorite Cobra Villains! Thanks a bunch appreciate all your research and time and effort! :)

I have news...unfortunately, the US has does this before.
Major Bludd was my favorite Joe villain.
Think you so very much from all of your friends in cobra

Dave S Agreed, fantastic issue 😎
Did you get the new ReAction Major Bludd?
I really liked how the IDW comics expanded on Bludd's role as a family man.
Aw man keep the G.I. Joe videos coming there so awesome
Dungeoncrawler87 Thanks! There are tons more in the way
JLS Comics yes! 👍🏽
I always like Major Bludd more than Destro, I was in the minority back in grade school for that.
I i like m all Destro, Bludd, Tomax and Xamot. But Zartan and his dreadnoks were my favourites
Destro, Storm Shadow, and Major Bludd for me.
@@MISTERPERFECT3806 agreed,plus Firefly
"Major Bludd was always my Cobra Commander's b*tch doing all the dirty/risky jobs he didn't wanna do lmao!"
Cobra's Biggest Problem was, Too much Infighting. Why they lost so many battles
Anyone else here, because we picked up the Classified figure?

We need him to be re released in the classified line.
Major Bludd for as look. He look like Charles Bronson.
I wish that Koei Tecmo, Bandai Namco, Hasbro Interactive, and EA would make a much improved variant of the Dynasty Warriors/Shin Sengokumusou franchise, but adding a lot more features, in a new G. I. Joe/Action Force game.
It's strange how outside the USA most of the other characters are from Australia? Surely the British would appear more as characters?
Major Blood was my first G.I .Joe figure I brought
Love these
Love your GI Joe content keep me coming can you do a vid on the twins, sgt slaughter, serpentor, especially Dr mind binder great channel
CellTV Productions Thanks! I have tons more videos on the way 😎
JLS Comics thanks happy to hear the good news can’t wait! 🔥

Keep up the ongoing great content
In the toy fiction, from the commercial, Major Bludd was “trained by Destro”.
When you're done with all the characters could you please do a recap on all the How's that were KIA in the comics?
Was it clarified why the cartoon and comic had a more or less "normal" bionic arm, while the toy had "the claw"?
When I was a kid I used to call him major blood
I did as well, I think a lot of us did.
He has a family!? Whatever happened to them!?
That poem was pretty good.
😂😂😂
magatetus lol
😂😂😂😂
I love it. Thanks!
Thank you for posting this Video!
Major Blud wearing his Darth Vader - ish helmet
I'm new to your channel and love the content!!! Could you please do a video on Flint?!?! My favorite gi joe of all time!!!
Dwald Pilar Flint is actually up next!
One of the first figures I got along with Destro.
I still have the 25th anniversary edition figure somewhere.
1985-1986 gijoe cartoon
Anyone remembers who the American president looked like? He built a wall before serpentor invaded DC. Dollar announced worthless. Sound familiar. There was even a tale about cobra poisoning all fast food.
In Retaliation Major Bludd is seen brevely but in a photo, if the character make live action in Gi joe 3, i think Mads Mikkelsen should play him
Lenny Alcina that’s a good casting choice
Thanks for the response, I think you should do a video about tomax and xamot
Michael Des Barres is probably too old now
Shine you crazy diamond
I didn't think his poem was that bad... *runs from gunfire.*
Great vid! Can you do one of the Crimson Guard Commanders?
Keith Powell They will be coming up soon!
Just discovered your channel... I like it.
RocKnight Thanks! I hope you continue to enjoy it
All these years with my GI Joe IQ. And I didn't know Major Bludd was missing an arm?! SMH Shame on me! Bludd was one of my favorites in Cobra!
Cool history on major bludd but you forgot to mention he also appeared in gi joe second series dic season 2 after sunbow end it before arriving to resolute and renegades
Yo can you do 1 on NEMESIS ENFORCER
Major Blood was definitely untrustworthy
One illustration shows Bludd with numerous dog tags, are these trophies taken from his victims?
I think he was the most knocked off figure. All those fake joe sets all had guys that looked like him.
Great video as ever
Just noticed a few times birthplace is Sydney Australia
Not Sidney Australia
Did they ever correct this error??
Vincent Neary you caught that! Yes it was eventually changed to the proper spelling
A question??
What was the connection between the u.k comic 'battle action force' and g.i joe??
The main bad guy was baron ironblood, who later became cobra commander ( in the book at least ) was there a deal??
Major Bludd can rap? Oh snap he got barz.
First-rate video! :)
Aaron Scott Thanks Aaron!
@@JLSComics Keep up the excellent work! :)
Is major bludd being in Python Patrol canon?
Who is red dog? Or sgt slaughters marauders?
MAJOR BLUDD aka SUPREME PIRU !!!
Could you do one on billy
Jerome Nettey He is on my list!
Those dog tags that Major Bludd wears, do they belong to his fallen friends or something else? Thanks.
Those I.D. tags are his from different militaries he worked for. 🤔😉
Maybe take a brief pause in between sentences. Everything is kinda running together.
Do you have the story about the pit where Cobra Commander killed all his staff and contacts.
I'm Australian. S. A. S stands for sea air survive
lol X-D
You think S.A.S. stands for sea air survive?
It stands for Special Air Service! Much like S.B.S. stands for Special Boat Service (or is it squadron?)
The Australian S.A.S. is a Aussie version of the British S.A.S.
Too bad Major Bludd did not have much of a role in the original cartoon series aside, from the first feature. Cobra comprised mainly of Cobra Commander, Destro, Baroness and Major Bludd originally.
Zartan effectively replaced Major Bludd in the series.
Please do something about the audio and cadences. It all sounds like mumbling. Great video, otherwise.
Don't mess with him.
🇦🇺💪🏼🤘🏻
too bad these gi joe movies are taking forever to come out. bludd would make for another good character to see in the gi joe movies
bdscavenger Definitely!
