It's supposed to be a hood. Obviously in 1 or two of the episodes they've drawn it as hair by accident. Zartan is allergic to sunlight and thus wears a hood. They even reference Zartan's hatred of sunlight in several episodes. Therefore hood, except maybe indoors where his hair looks just like his hood.....there mystery solved. HA!

One time it's mistakenly drawn as hair does not make it hair. The toys were the guide for the toy commercial (what some of you call a cartoon) The designers/animators would have been given the toys as a starting point to draw what the characters look like. The drawing of Zartan would have been of a guy with a hood on. The cheap animation means that if you don't know (from the toy) that he has a hood on, you would think it's hair. Some animator once drew it as hair (thanks Roadblock recall for the pic) ((i can imagine someone will report this error to the cartoon database so it can be listed in the errors section)) but that doesn't change the fact that the design and chacter key was based off a guy with a hood.
the question of this thread is not what the original premise of Zartan was and thus what the cartoon MUST be based off of. The question is whether the cartoon and JUST THE CARTOON is hair or hood. In the cartoon, it has never been indicated as a hood. People who never had the toy, and never read the comic see it for what it was intended to be, hair. Hell, even after I got the toy years later, I assumed it was hair. Why? Because of my prior experience with it being hair from the cartoon. The guy a couple pages back asked 10 people who knew nothing of GI Joe, and they all said it was hair. The cartoon, as a stand alone entity, shows Zartan to have long brown hair on his head, not a hood. |

.....and sometimes the artist didnt have the figure to go by unless it was the original 13......sometimes Artist have only a prototype to go by.......which isnt colored sometimes...so mistakes will happen....just like i said about Ironhide and Rachet....they didnt have the toy in front of them to go from.......
