With special guests: Slice and Dice, and Zandar! I had this done months ago, just posting them now. Did a bunch of work on this one! Check out the tricky parts: Zartan head with hood removed, greenstuffed the hole and mixed skin tone for it. Added mohawk from MU storm. Arm shield cut and dremmeled out from Resolute Storm Shadow lower arm. Thigh sheath from Copperhead leg sheath (and two copper head knifes). Also I modded the left thigh to change it from the cobra commander pouch to a continuing leg strap. Star Wars chain for the shoulder chain.
Special thanks to Daremo for the outstanding ninja weapons for the Silent Castle Red Ninjas! Ninja Force Zartan! I didn't match the green to the vintage. Now that I've taken the pictures, I think I'd like to match the green closer to the original. At the time, I didn't even own the vintage version, and that particular color of green I used was just a nice color, went on smooth and not too thin or thick. Dreadnok tatoo! Close ups of the head/hair and the knife pouches. Recipe: Head-Zartan with Greenstuff for the hood hole and MU Storm mohawk Torso and Upper Arms-ROC Monkeywrench Lower Arms-ROC Monkeywrench or Zartan, with arm guard cut and dremmeled from Resolute Storm Shadow lower arm Left Hand-Croc Master Right Glove-ROC Copperhead type Upper Legs-Cobra Commander modded by removing side pouch and adding strap lines in it's place, with thigh sheaths from 2 pieces of copperhead's leg sheath Thigh Knives-Copperhead times 2 Lower Legs-Mindbender Knees-Cobra Commander I think Jacket-Indianna Jones line Chain from Star Wars part I think (thanks Jeditaz!) Bow-Vintage Sword-Vintage (but not the exact right one) Parts from more than 8 figures and 4 toy lines! With Slice and Dice! With Zandar! The Silent Castle Red Ninjas! Really just comic accurate weapons (thanks Daremo!)

That is AWESOME! I wonder who at Hasbro came up with the 'across the leg' sword sheath for Zartan- you've got to wonder if they were familiar with what a sword is.

Nice. Zartan's sheaths on his leg were for knives not swords originaly.

SWEETNESS!!! Very nice modern version of Zartan. I say leave the pants the darker green color. They're more realistic looking.
