Ninja Force Zartan w/ Action! by Vidmouse

Got an extra Zartan and decided to do something different...
Kept his chest and lower torso, head.
Removed the hood and added his mohawk made from
a misc piece of rubber DCUC Superman cape.

Legs were from my parts box... I think they were
from a Mars Trooper ?

Arms were taken from a BnB figure.
Vest from a Pit Commando.

Then I read how the original figure had some kind of
"snap punch" feature ala' He-Man... ie you turn him
at the waist and he can snap back into place (and if
his arm is outstretched, that's the "punch").

So....

Before I sealed up his chest, I tried putting a rubber
band in place to get me the action-feature:



This didn't quite work as well as I expected... the band
snapped and I had a gluey mess and had to start over
with new arms.

Then I just decided to seal it up. Turns out that the
rubber band bits that were left were enough to form
a "cushion" between the upper and lower torso bits...
and enable the snap feature!

Prototype test video:


Here's the rest of the photos:
