1984 Zartan - Random Photos Of The Day
Zartan's one of those figure who is everyone's favorite. You simply don't see dissent on it being a classic. Yet, it's hard to get good photos of him in action. I've learned that my figure no longer changes color in the sunlight. But, that's OK since I never really liked that feature anyways. As a kid, I thought Zartan was one of those guys who were just too cool to really play with adequately. No matter how epic his adventures, I felt they were letting the actual figure down. Even today, I struggle to get good photos of him. But, here you go.

Love the figure, but characters whose primary trait is disguise are hard to play with. Z's mask helped a little, but then he just looked like evil Breaker wearing Zartan's clothes. Not exactly incognito.
ReplyDelete1984 had a redundancy of Cobra infiltrators: the ninja, the saboteur and the masters of disguise. (And on the cartoon the Baroness was a disguise expert, too). How are the Joes not dead? Spirit's native magic detects them? Junkyard sniffs them out?
ReplyDeleteZartan is a master of disguise, but his henchmen are obvious reckless fools. It was an odd contrast, that maybe the cartoon did better? In the comic a reader might wonder why Zartan needs those goons, as he's separated from them for over half their appearances.
