You know how kids always put stuff in their mouths?


Well, I still recall the taste of the color change plastic of Zartan's Swamp Skier.

Anyone else know what I'm talking about?

The Swamp Skier doesn't change colors, just Zartan himself. But yeah, i'm totally drooling thinking about it now, lol.

Nah, the cool "action feature" was the fact that both changed color in sunlight.

Damn I loved that set. Guess I might have to see what can be salvaged from the new joke of a skier to fix my old one.

i thought only the stickers on zartan changed colors? also, what was the point of the color change? if a Joe walks by him and hes green are they more likely to just ignore him or something?

That is the basic idea of camouflage, right?

Seriously, though, I always got the impression that the simple color change that the figure did was not meant to have a tactical function, but rather be a hint of what he COULD do.

The Swamp Skier changing colors? Maybe he just like things that change.
