So we started off with a color change Zartan on a card marked with "Face changes color"
Now we have 3 different versions, so which is which and what is what? Here are the facts: My first Zartan with color change paint and card Prod #72252 Zartan found at walmart last night with color change paint and card Prod #72482 Zartan found at walmart last night with color change paint and no color change card Prod #72502 You'll notice that the last two Zartans were made within 2 days of each other My theory is that Hasbro started making Zartan with a color change feature, then decided to stop it. They changed the card, but perhaps they still had figures that had been finished with the color change feature. So it's possible that they are trying to make Zartan with no color change feature now but the ones we find with color change paint but a card that has no mention of said color change are the transition pieces If anyone has a Zartan with no color change paint and no mention of it on the card, I'd like to see the production number to see if my theory holds true |

Sorry bud, I sure as heck don't, but this is a great theory to follow up on, so hopefully someone will check the back of their card and post here soon! *HINT HINT*

Great theory. That may be the case.
It seems the no logo Zartan's and anchor SW's are now the latest production figures....which makes the shark and logo figures the variants?

I have a #72352, it's "color changing face" card and Zartan looks like he's sea sick in the bubble. Not sure what this means in relation to your conspiracy theory, but hope it helps.

Well that would make it fall in between the two with logo and color change ability meaning that it was made when Hasbro was still making Zartan as a color change figure, but every little bit helps
on a side note, your figure was carded on Thursday, August 23rd 2007 |

So if I read the post right, you've got a color changing Zartan on a Marked color changing card with the Prod #72482?
Interesting, if that is the case, as I have a Unmarked card with a color changing Zartan with the same number stamped into it. Maybe you've found the exact day the change was made. |

My Zartan is stamped 72352 like WildWeasel's but it doesn't look "sea sick" as WildWeasel put it. It is also labeled "color changing face".
While I'm thinking about it what numbers in the production number tell you the month, date, and year? With the number 72352 you said it was made Thursday, August 23rd 2007. So the 23 is the 23rd, 5 Thursday, and 7 is 2007 but if that is true 2 would be August. I don't understand. For some reason it is just bugging me.

That's awesome! It looks we have found the day they changed, although it seems odd that they changed this in the middle of a day. I woulda thought that they'd make the color change logo one day, then stop the next. It would be interesting to find out what Hasbro has to say about this Quote:

This is the breakdown on production numbers (72352 used as an example) The first number (7) is the year (2007) The next three numbers (235) are the day (there are 365 days in a year) As for the last number, I have no idea what that means BTW, I learned about production numbers from http://projectpdd.googlepages.com/ Captain-DC (same guy who made project PDD, I believe) on yojoe explained the current code |
