Now that it's been discovered in Ron Rudat's concept art for Zandar, the twins' scarf and shirt were always meant to match to give them unity.
Is Zander's scarf a piece of his twin sister's ripped shirt? Are they coordinating with each other instead/too? Why does Zandar wear a scarf that matches Zarana's shirt? Discuss! Quote:
Please, PLEASE show me the evidence where Ron Rudat stated that the scarf is a torn piece of the shirt. That would end this debate once and for all, forever and ever in perpetuity.
Cause I saw that Zandar production sketch and the only thing it said was "scarf should match Zarana's shirt." As in, the COLOR should match, as in, the actual paint application that will be used on both figures should be the same. Same color. That's all it ever said. Same color. That's one hell of a damn leap to "oh the same color means it's the same piece of fabric!" Storm Shadow has a black belt. Snake Eyes' uniform is black. I guess that means that Storm Shadow is running around with a torn piece of Snake Eyes' uniform around his waist, so he can always feel closer to his sword brother? DreadnokTwins came up with this idea that the scarf is a piece of her shirt. Nothing ever stated contradicts it. If people want to believe this little piece of fan canon, that's fine. It doesn't hurt anyone. But by boldly claiming there's "concrete evidence" that Ron Rudat intended this as far back as the 80s, that's just patently false and you're spreading misinformation. I imagine if we contacted Mr. Rudat about it now, he'd probably say "Oh...OK, yeah, sure, it's a piece of her shirt." If he says so, I'd agree with him retroactively changing it, like Larry did with the newer comics, cause they're both the authority on such matters. DT has admitted many times that she was the one that came up with the idea. Don't put words in Ron Rudat's mouth.

There was a post on another thread (can't remember which thread or who posted it, as there have been so many), where the poster said they thought this was some kind of performance art by this point. I thought that was a great comment. This is reaching some Andy Kaufman level type shit. lol.

I had both the figures back then and never thought they were twins myself. That would be a strange thing to leave off the file cards wouldn't it? As far as I know it wasn't mentioned on either of them. Plus, they had just done the twins thing the previous year with Tomax and Xamot. I doubt they would have gone back to that well so soon.
Code Name = Zarana Specialty = Zartan's sister Filecard = blah blah, her brother Zartan... (no mention at all of Zandar) Code Name = Zandar Specialty = Zartan's brother Filecard = blah blah his brother Zartan (no mention at all of Zarana) |

I always thought they were twins and was frankly shocked when someone on this board pointed out that it was never explicitly stated in the marvel comics, cartoon, or their filecards.
Might start calling them the Beren-stain twins now...

This thread is getting off topic. This one is for discussing Ron Rudat's concept art and if it implies a correlation between the Zandar and Zarana's outfits.
Whether or not they are twins (they are) is not the topic of this thread. I know that seems nitpicky, but with all the Z&Z threads, I think it's important to ensure we're discussing the appropriate component in each.

Is there a website somewhere that has all those pages of art, or do you have to buy all the $50+ volumes?
