Time for a trip down GI Joe history!!
This was the model sheet that Kirk Bozigian (ARAH Product manager) had in his 1st presentation archives of the infamous "Topless Zarana" from the 1987 Animated GI Joe Movie. LOL!! They wanted to make the original Joe Movie PG-13, & they could only do that by either having swearing or female nudity. They opted for the female nudity to be present when Zarana takes her dip in the lake (as many know), but what many did not know is that an actual character design sheet of this instance exists despite Hasbro scrapping the idea before the Movie was finished. Here she is in all of her adult-rated glory, ...topless Zarana!! |

Who knows, but it wouldn't help any IMHO, I didn't like that movie. The GI Joe and TF movies were both disappointing to me as a child but the TF one is much more enjoyable and I bought it when it was released remastered on DVD a few years back(Hot Rod still pisses me off though).

I think they opted for the nudity as the swearing probably would have had to have been quite a lot for a PG-13 rating back then (1987) & I think this was better "damage control" in Hasbro's eyes (unfortunately that may not be how many parents think as they may prefer profanity to T&A but alas...) Remember the 80's (& 70's) had a lot more casual female nudity in lighter rated movies than by today's standards. |

I would have liked to have seen the impact this scene would have had back then as nudity in animation was quite prominent in 80's (& today's) anime, but for an animation project like this, would have been quite unique at the time, & probably would have been one of the best remembered things about the film in the impressionable 80's boy's minds who loved Joe (& critics & parents alike). Zarana would have been more infamous than ever. lol
