PoC Zartan comes with a spare head.
His filecard said he alternates disguises between a "desert native" and a "G.I. Joe Trooper". Presumably, the spare head (with the watch cap and goggles) is the "G.I. Joe Trooper". So here's the question: Which G.I. Joe trooper is he supposed to be? Which member of the team is impersonating? Does this character have a codename? A while back, people were calling this head/character "Sandstorm" - obviously the name of the Target Wave 3 character - and that was fine when the figure remained unreleased. But since the Target wave 3 "Sandstorm" has been released through ROSS, where does that leave us with Zartan's disguise? Who is this character in the watch cap and goggles (and presumably the leather, hooded jacket)? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, guys.

My guess is that its a Joe "green shirt" since this line was a hypothetical follow-up to the movie. Their base was out in Egypt somewhere and the Joe team didn't just consist of specialize characters so I think it was a non descript disguise.

Well I have two Zartans so I can keep one as the Joe. I call him Quicksand.

This was supposed to be Sandstorm. He came with the Target exclusive desert tan R.A.M. but the line was cancelled. I think you can now pick up one at Ross.

I agree with previous poster
I believe it's just a generic trooper from the ROC continuity Although quicksand and sandstorm are great names. The head does somewhat resemble Ice storm from the polar sharc. Maybe ice storm and sandstorm were brothers? |

I use him as a generic trooper, but I gave him my RoC KMart 4pack Desert Duke body. I use him as an operative. I haven't come up with a codename yet.
Here he is with my Desert team.
