Filecard variant:
There were three versions of 1994 Major Bludd released. The first two were made in China. Early filecards used the traditional format, while later filecards were formatted to a smaller "baseball card" size and the text was edited down to fit. Both were made in China, while the later were also made in Indonesia.
In 1994, Hasbro produced figures in China and Indonesia. This resulted in several paint app variants. To compound matters further, Hasbro also changed the card art on some figures from the older horizontal logo (with a red or blue laser backdrop) to a new vertical logo (with a red or blue to black gradient background). The back of the new card also featured a reformatted baseball card sized file card with condensed writing. Several figures did not get the new vertical card art treatment. Major Bludd did get the vertical logo treatment.
Major Bludd has no known paint app variants. There are three carded figure variants, the horizontal logo card marked "MADE IN CHINA" (above) and the vertical logo card marked "MADE IN CHINA" and the vertical logo card marked "MADE IN INDONESIA" (below).
