Even when I was younger and even now when I write them. I've always thought of Zandar's"connection" with his sister to either be one of two things. Either it's the "twin connection",I.E. separation anxiety issue he had as a child so to help combat that his sis who was the first one out, therefore " older"sis gave him a piece of her clothing to help ease his anxieties about being left behind. You could leave it there OR go the route of he has a fixation on her to the point of it being sexual either actually or just in his head. So like most ppl with a sexual attraction, they like to have something of their "loved" one. So depends on where you want to take it. Is he the one with lost puppy separation anxiety so you feel bad for him to be that emotionally crippled or is it the gross pervy way that him and his twin like to get it on and have a ewwwwwww relationship

Let's be clear here, Zandar doesn't have fans. He has a fan, which would be you.
I kid... Obviously, this is an important issue for you. The thing is, even if Zandar never shows up in Classified or other iterations of G.I.Joe, the original figures still exist. They're not being erased from history. The vintage G.I.Joe line had so many characters it's inevitable that some would fall into obscurity. I'm sure that somewhere out there, some kid in the 1980s/'90s grew super-attached to Skidmark as his favorite figure. Or Armadillo, or Rumbler, or Rapid Fire, etc. Maybe it was the first G.I.Joe toy they ever got. Maybe it was given to them by a cherished relative who has since passed away. Maybe something about the figure or the character really spoke to them for some esoteric reason no one else will ever understand. You can still have that bond even if the character doesn't carry over to the next generation of product.

I don't they are being erased. Even if they don't get a classified figure they still a part of joe lore. Saying they are gone is a little much. Joe just has other characters that are more popular and come before them.

Then I've failed at seeing it remain in the official lore for future iterations of GI Joe. Everything I was doing was for this present moment.

Soon, I won't have a place in the fandom at all because everything has been repurposed to Zartan. Preparing to leave the fandom. I have risky surgery to look forward to and don't want to come back to this.

I would really like to see a comic in the Hama run that goes back and shows how Zandar has been there all along and had a big role in key events in the series, but he just went unnoticed because of his abilities listed on his file card.
Kind of like a Tag and Bink from Star Wars but with Zandar. An alternative is Zarana gets captured, and it turns out one of the Joes that experienced a "resurrection" in the Hama continuity is actually Zandar, who's been deep cover with the joes for years and he breaks her out. There are a lot of possibilities with Zandar that would be really fun.

LOL...Well maybe he was chilly and she gave him a scarf. Does that remove the side-eye. How many other ways would you like to break it down? What would be the reason you come up with..for a grown man to wear the torn part of his sister's shirt as a scarf?

I think it's been a great year all things considered. New figures in a new scale. Stay positive. I don't think anyone has the ability to get every character they want made. If they are making Zarana, at least there is emphasis on the noks. There are a ton of figures I'd like to see, but chances are I'll see 8-10 snake eyes figures before I see any of them. |
