Last weekend, in Florida (I mean, where else?), a man in his early thirties was banned from several clinics after pretending that he was there to donate blood.

BREAKING NEWS:

“THIS IS A BLUDD DONATION!” - MAN BANNED FROM SEVERAL CLINICS AFTER OFFERING G.I.JOE FIGURES

Last weekend, in Florida (I mean, where else?), a man in his early thirties was banned from several clinics after pretending that he was there to donate blood. Once he arrived, he filled all the required papers, and once he was sent to the nurses to donate his blood, the man took a G.I.Joe action figure from his backpack and offered it to the staff.

“We were really confused about what he meant by that, but then we saw the name of the action figure…”, said one of the nurses.

The figure was a G.I.Joe: Classified Series Major *BLUDD*. It turns out that this young man had misunderstood a message on TV, and thought that he was supposed to do a “BLUDD donation”, by giving away a Major Bludd figure.

We will keep you informed as this is an ongoing event, and we are still getting updates.

More news at 11:00… “I am a BLUDD donor!”

PS: Wanna do something fun? Take a picture of a Major BLUDD figure next to a hospital and use the hashtag #BluddDonation ! (I’m very curious if this will get even one reply!)

BREAKING NEWS:

TARGET SOON TO HAVE “MAJOR BLUDD” ON THEIR HANDS!

A few days ago, a wild Major Bludd figure appeared, out of nowhere, on eBay (it was super effective!)…

The figure appeared, with pictures courtesy of Galactic Trade Ship (check out their facebook page!). Here are some of the pictures from the ebay listing, along with the description.

That sounds a bit suspicious, no?

So, in a totally predictable (and hilarious) way, this is what happened next: People started to troll the seller, and placed tons of bids on the item. It started at $0,01…

…then it got crazier…

…then it got crazier…

…and crazier…

…and crazier…

…AND CRAZIER…

…AND CRAZIER…

… UNTIL CRAZINESS OVERLOAD!

… UNTIL CRAZINESS OVERLOAD!

The listing has since been removed, due to the insanity. Some people started suspecting that it could be a fake, or a nicely done custom… until Robo from The Fwoosh, a pretty reliable source on all things toys, along with Luke_figuremeout, a lesser known toy review page, started posting *IN HAND* reviews. Robo says that the figure came from their P.O. Box, more or less anonymously, and Luke_figuremeout says that any comment asking where it came from will be ignored… THE PLOT THICKENS. Here are the 2 videos…

So, obviously, people started speculating even more!

So far, there are only 3 or 4 in existence (or only 2, if the 2 ones seen in the ebay listing pics are the same one that ended in Robo and Luke’s hands). So what is it? A very elaborate prank? A very good customizer that managed to fool the entire toy community? A leak that blew out of proportion after the ebay listing? Either way, “Major Bludd” is everything that G.I.Joe collectors worldwide want right now…

And of course, it’s a Target Exclusive (Target being an affiliate of COBRA, see old article : https://www.toyfarce.com/news/target-revealed-as-part-of-cobra ). So, to reiterate that glorious pun from the title: Target will soon have “Major Bludd” on their hands, if the figure actually comes out. People will fight for it. The first listing on eBay nearly went for $25,000 (jokingly), so you can be sure that scalpers will try very hard.

What do you make of it? Let us know in the comments!

More news at 11:00… AND KNOWING IS HALF THE BATTLE
