I was parting out a 25th Bludd the other day and decided to make my own mixing with some 2005 bludd parts.

Without the red shoulder wrap...

Recipe:
head and dogtags - 25th Major Bludd
torso - 25th Trip Wire
arms - SW Kashyyk Trooper
belt and legs - 2005 Major Bludd
feet - a 25th Duke (from first five pack)

no clank clank robot stick for an arm?

Good call.

Good looking fig, I wonder how he lost his arm?

Or is it really a missile firing pistol protector, or whatever.

Very cool take on my favorite character.

Those arms work great and the Tripwire chest gives him a more general/purpose armored look, which I dig.

Also liking how the belt works on him, though I fear it must restrict his leg movement.

Its does restrict movement a little bit, though honestly the 2005 legs attached to a 25th torso are so freaking tight even after my dremel modification that the legs are difficult to move anyway...hehe.

Strax where the hell have you been homie! I like this Bludd custom good call on not adding the robot arm as well it separates him from other Bludd customs.

Interesting approach. I like the armored feel it has. Solid paint job.

I have not been posting many customs lately, but since I did this I jumped on here.
I figured he might have a cybernetic arm but its advanced enough (like BAT hands) to be concealed in the gloves.
If I had an extra Anakin hand that looked decent I had concidered using that, though so far the "no cybernetic arm" seems to be the more popular choice.

That is a great spin on Bludd's traditional colors/appearance.

Really like this take on Bludd! Love the wrap...looks really good on him, and the torso was a great choice!

Really classy, and a very creative take. How does his height compare with other 25th figures? And how did you get those Star Wars arms in? Always cool to see such liberal parts-mixing ^__^

With the Duke feet added to the 2005 bludd legs the figure is same height as the Matt Tracker figure (without helmet), so its pretty close, though I have noticed some of the 25th figure vary a bit in height.
As for the star wars arms, I just dremeled down the extended peg till it fit in the socket like most the 25th arms. I did have to pop the torso which did cause some damage to it, though I used some FIXIT sculpt and superglue to recombine the torso and fix the damaged areas caused by prying it apart with screwdriver.
