I said as much pretty quickly after the initial reveal, but the standard retail release is so perfect as is that I can't justify swapping him out for a few added accessories I'd likely not display him with and a gimmick I'd check out once.

The new Zartan has a slightly updated color scheme as well that makes him look even more as his ARAH counterpart.
The color change gimmick I don't understand nor care for. Did he ever go blue in the cartoon or comic or what's the deal? Can't remember having seen any source material that can explain this design choice. |

You’re right about Zartan. The figure is darn near perfect and this deluxe model has a few heads, a previously released bow and a rifle with a color change that either relies on putting it in the freezer or dunking in ice water.

How hard is it to do like they did in the 80's?! I'm guessing this new way is cheaper since that's all Hasbro cares about. Zartan changed BECAUSE of the sun, and the original toy did the same. Get a damn clue Hasbro. |

The Hasbro guys ( I think it was Lenny) said that the photo chromatic plastic from the 80s isn't available, and the modern equivalent only works a few times. That's why they went with the temperature change instead. They said it during one of the live streams or one of the post stream interviews.

Unfortunately the color change is not UV activated. Cold turns him blue and as soon as you touch the figure the heat from your hand changes the tone back.
