SSC Zartan 12-Inch Figure

[karamazov80]

What color dye should be used to try and get the hood colored like the pants, you think? Brown?

 

[spazzy]

most likely I will be diluting mine alot don't want it too brown, will have to see what is available, not too familiar with dying fabric

Zartan > Hawk

 

[onetruejoe]

Zartan > Hawk

WHATS SO FUNNY.

So...you are wanting Hawk, correct?

 

[snakeeyes171]

Zartan > Hawk

math, zartan is greater than hawk. hawk is less than zartan

WHATS SO FUNNY.

We'll ignore your blatant disregard of the commerce rules here at SSF, but that's a ridiculous offer. Ex Hawk doesn't even brush up close against being worth trading for Ex Zartan. It's like trying to trade a $20 bill for a $50 bill.

How about this a zuke head for the ex hawk head.

How about this a zuke head for the ex hawk head.

To me this offer sounds like you have the zuke head and want the hawk head. Is that right? I don't want to trade either way, just looking to clear it up.

YES.
Ex hawk head.

 

[onetruejoe]

Your Ex Zartan Duke head for someones EX Hawk head?

thats right

 

[snakeeyes171]

i want a extra zuke head but dont want to get rid of hawk either.exclusives are important, wait it out on ebay and keep the zuke head its worth it.

 

[snakeeyes171]

thats right

money> zuke head

Dino,
I did say "Sideshow's errors", and you have every right to express your comment.
I should have not generalize my own opinion in my statement about this piece.

So if we can get pass this issue, I do have a question for all:
Can someone tell me why Sideshow changed Zartan's maroon colored hood that matched the pants from the prototype at SDCC to the now released red hood?

My speculation is that SS wanted to pay homage to the preproduction Zartan figure depicted on the 1984 G.I.Joe catolog.

looks like he was kinda based on the on the 25th anniv release

Tried to go as cartoon and 80's toy accurate as possible with what Sideshow has given us. Check it out:

I tried the Jake Gyllenhall muscle true type body, but I didn't like the small waist, so I'm now using the Barney Ross body. The Barney Ross body also gave him back bigger arms like the ones on the sideshow body it came with and the bracelets now fit the forearms really well. Hood was cut from a Sideshow Jedi Robe died and wired to bend to shape. I also exchanged the shin guards with the Cobra Viper ones (just the chin guards). Some painting and weathering here and there and that's it.
