Yeah I don't think they cared much. It just looks like they put it there as a part of his tools to help disguise him. Maybe even a mask to wear when riding his motorcycle. They probably didn't care much for the story about it if they had one.
Just because another character has a scarf does not mean they took it from another character. Might be a different story if Zartan's was pink and not brown.

What I wouldn't give for Hasbro and its licensed properties to put the same effort and care into Zarana & Zandar's dynamic and appearance as they do with Zartan and Zarana.

Pretty much. Though, then again, it's not how I define "tired tropes of the past" that matters (I don't run Hasbro). It is the next CEO's take that should be of greatest concern to you. But you don't have to take my word for it ...

Corporate wokeness is the most entertaining wokeness. On the plus side, there is probably great female representation amongst the 9 year olds putting figures together on the factory floor.

You have been so hung up on this cause that, frankly, you have absolutely no say in. I will be the voice of harsh honesty here and tell you that your single voice is so small in the Hasbro/Joe business world that it has zero impact on their decisions. And there is no legacy that you alone can preserve. If you don't listen to anything else, please hear me out on this one thing: Zandar's lack of appearance in the Classifieds line has nothing to do with changing the canon of the Joe universe and everything to do with his popularity. Just because you like something does not mean everyone does. Hasbro is going to do whatever they can to make money, canon or legacy be damned. The sooner you can accept this and the fact that you have no role in their decision making, the sooner you can move on and hopefully find joy in other aspects of your life instead of the misery you seem to be seeking out in this fruitless endeavor of legacy chasing. |

The Viper has a scarf as well. Maybe Cobra's Supply Officer screwed up an order and there is going to be scarfs for all.

My voice is small in the grand scheme of things anyway...

Sadly Hasbro did nothing with a whole ‘nother rich in lore Joe universe for many decades (Action Force)… I guess Hasbro just don’t give a sh!T unless its Snake Eyes, Storm Shadow and all the other big wig popular characters, hope Zandar does get his scarf back some day! ;)

Zandar is unpopular due to underexposure. Since he was so rarely used, he's "new" and so is this revelation he's Zarana's twin! Get on it Hasbro!

I'm not sure about underexposure. I remember times when Zandar figures were the only figure in the Joe aisle. None of the others were on the rack. Anybody looking for Joe/Cobra toys at those stores had to have seen him, especially with all those empty racks around him, singling him out.
Not even Raptor or Crystal Ball or Zap got that kind of treatment. |
