I know this guy's vintage figure is one of the red-headed step children of the ARAH line, but I always kinda liked him. Being born in 1980, I was JUST getting into action figures when the v1 Zartan shipped, and was very much at the mercy of gift-givers and the generosity of my parents when it came to acquiring new figs. I never managed to land Zartan, and he didn't get revisited until the NF release. I was slowly drifting away from toys at that point, but I was SO stoked to see Zartan that I didn't care if he was done up in ugly colors, had a shitty action figure or even that I felt a little self-conscious bringing him up to the Target checkout...I finally had a Zartan, dammit! Plus, I kinda dug his punk rock Highlander vibe...I figure this guy has to be pretty near the bottom of the Club's list (and Hasbro will never touch him), so I decided to make my own...

like this a lot. I remember buying the Arah version for my buddys birthday like 20 years ago.
BTW I had to edit spell check this comment because when I typed ARAH the first time, it replaced it with the word Arab...not cool Last edited by Wilhelm; 07-08-2014 at 02:19 AM.. |

Nice recreation, although personally I would have gone with smaller knives on his leg. Other than that.. Spot on!
