Why are Zarana & Zandar never mentioned in each others' marketing? What would it take to change this?

“Zandar was the kid who never got noticed. Teachers forgot he was there and never called on him. Nobody that has ever met him can remember what his voice sounds like. His anonymity was no accident. He worked at it all through his formative years and after he grew up...he got even better at it!"

You don't even like me, so leave my thread alone. Times have changed and it's sad no one here has changed with regard to Zandar.

Why don't you make a subreddit, or FB group. That way you don't have to spam 400 thousand threads about the same thing.

Honestly? Probably because they had just released a two pack set of twins in 1985. They likely feared that parents would get annoyed at what they may see as a cheap gimmick. Where as with Tomax and Xamot the gimmick made sense as they are (almost) mirrors of each other. With Zandar and Zarana there isn't really anything that would make sense for them to be marketed together outside of being Zartan's siblings. Now, later on it could make sense, but back then I'm guessing it's simply their proximity to the Crimson Twin release.

She's not a troll. She doesn't degrade people, put people down, she doesn't start shit with people. She just talks about her favorite characters that she has a passion for. Have a little respect or just ignore her. Last edited by sbartek1974; 08-31-2021 at 05:31 PM.. |

One important thing to remember is GI Joe itself isn't really marketed, and beyond Snake Eyes, individual characters definitely aren't, so we're speaking relatively here. Personally, I think there are just so many characters that the bulk are gonna necessarily get the shaft attention-wise. Like, I'm sure fans of Sci Fi wonder why that sweet-ass nerd gets no love too.

If you don't like Twins threads you don't have to comment. Just ignore it besides being assholes about it.
She's not a troll. She doesn't degrade people, put people down, she doesn't start shit with people. She just talks about her favorite characters that she has a passion for. Have a little respect or just ignore her. Second, they have never been sold together in a two pack (I guess that is what DT means). Zarana has eclipsed Zandar in fame. It’s unfortunate if you are a Zandar fan. Like George Michael over Andrew Ridgley. Like Hall over Oates. Like Timberlake over the rest of N’SYNC. Besides the fact (like a previous poster mentioned) Hasbro isn’t marketing anybody except Snake-Eyes movie characters. I don’t see any current media he is being left out of short of waiting for his Classified figure. But who isn’t waiting for a favorite character. |
