I wouldn't be surprised if a Zandar showed up this year either though. There's no rhyme or reason to what Hasbro is doing here, at least not that I can see.

I would love to see Zandar show up soon. He'd be a total surprise. I think he would actually make a really cool Classified figure. And as an extra bonus - it might dampen some of the constant discussion about him on these boards. Zandar to GIjoe collectors is equivalent of Rose Tico to Star Wars collectors.

Despite what some optimists believe, we are NOT getting all the "82-87" characters or whatever the prediction is.
RAH was one of the most successful and long-lasting action figure toylines of the 1980s. Hundreds of characters were made. Zandar was one of the very least popular "named" characters in the line. At four years in, we still haven't cracked 100 figures in this line. We simply will NOT get all the characters people are hoping for before this line gets unprofitable and Hasbro pulls the plug on Classified. With so many hundreds of much cooler looking and popular characters still yet to made, I see no reason why Hasbro would decide that Zandar is important enough to produce. If they did make him now, especially if they followed his 80s "Jem back up singer" aesthetic, he will join the ranks of Retro Lady Jaye as one of the most unwanted figures produced under the GI Joe banner. The only reason I've even given a second thought to Zandar in the last 40 years is because you've turned him into a meme. That's all he is. He's a silly meme to the handful of us here, and to the rest of the Joe collectors of the world, he's a literal Z-lister. I don't believe we will see Zanadar in Classified in 2024, or ever, really. Your Classified Zarana figure would have to sit on the shelf alone. If you had bothered to buy one, that is. |

I think if the line is strong enough, you'll get one.
What I'd be worried about more if I were you is that Hasbro won't do it because we've seen a lot of this unwanted stuff going to Ollie's. It's just sitting and sitting and sitting. Releasing him to regular retail would be peg warmer hell. Even if Zandar is just a redeco with a new head, I have a hard time believing any retailer would want to carry him as a low-run exclusive, but that's probably your best chance of seeing him. Actually, if they gave him the trenchcoat he had in "Million Dollar Medic", I think that might sell. It gave him a s out of weird Gambit vibe.

I wish we were getting a matching Zarana & Zandar with that Thunder Machine...

We'll get Zandar. It just isn't going to be in the next year. I bet he'll be announced next year. He made it to our tournament and got the 9th most votes out of all Cobras this year, even beating out IG Destro! Which means he has a following big enough to be on Hasbro's radar. He got more votes than Big Boa, the Range-Viper, the Tele-Viper, Chuckles, Torpedo, Falcon, and Quick Kick -- all of whom got less votes than Zandar in 2022 and 2023 and were already revealed.
Don't worry DT, if you're patient he will eventually happen. Classified is starting to dip into the post '85 years now, so I don't think it's a question of if, but when he will happen. Zandar was one of my fav 1986 figures as a kid, so I am one who is definitely hoping he gets revealed sooner rather than later.
