Can anyone help me, please? I do not want a green-faced Zartan, and eBay seems like a dead end, as the sellers don't know as much about this as you guys would.
If anyone can help me out, please take pictures, so I can see it. It doesn't have to be MOC, but in good condition, with all accessories, and with the cardboard backer (the whole thing, not just the file card). If it is MOC, awesome. Please, someone, help. |

Any non-color change Zartans that are out there are factory errors, not intentional variations, so tracking one of these down will be a big challenge...just as an FYI.

I have one. Still in package. Weird thing is, the neck seems green, but I swear I put it in the freezer for 5 minutes and the fig never changed.

TENIME - someone else clued me in to this, you can boil the head which will make the color change paint brittle, and you can then just scrape it right off.
I haven't tried it yet, but heard it works like a charm.

Figured I'd better back up my claim before someone called me a liar.

Wow, I actually want a changing version...!! Mine is just regular ol' face. I wish the variant would have like purple or orange as a change.

Heck, I just scratched the color-change paint off my Zartan with a toothpick... no boiling neccessary. It came off very easily in about 5 minutes. Seriously, it's all you gotta do to get a Zartan that doesn't look seasick.

A wooden toothpick? Did it keep the plastic underneath smooth, or is it all scratched up now?
Man, Justin, gotta dash my hopes, huh? LOL... ~_^" Commander - is that for sale? I can deal with a green neck, but not a green face... |
