OK I need a little help on this idea.
We all know how innovative The ARAH Zartan #1 was and is with his awesome skin color change in the sun feature. As a figure, This and other features made Zartan argueably the best GI Joe figure ever made. I happen to like Zartan the figure and Character most of all for many reasons but I know each of us have our favs. NOT the point of my thread to see who's the best Joe fig, but throw it in if you want. The Skin change in sun feature really made Zartan stand out among all the other Joe/Cobra Characters. The Newest rendition of Zartan, the RETALIATION Zartan has another groundbreaking feature (I think). I can't figure out what exactly the feature is so this is where I need help. The slit in the top of RET. Zartan's Hood looks like it's there to let light through. This light coming through looks like it illuminates the transparent red part on the top of at least 2 of his disguised heads. Then I read that you can some how see Zartan's real face or his eyes are red when the light hits it? In my mind it's 1 of 2 things or all together 2 things. 1. The light shines through and all we see is red eyes. Kind of cool but not at all new and amazing 2. Now this is weird but it seems like somehow, for example Zartan's Storm shadow head is transparent (that's why it's whitish in color along with 2 other heads) and when the head has light shine through the red on top of the head it shows through and one can see the Zartan face transparently through the disguise head so one can identify a fake Stormy or other disguise! (kind of like how you can see Cobra Commanders face on ARAH CC version 4 or version 43.) Now that's almost on par with the original Zartan Skin Change feature! Very new and great! 3. It's just red all over in the middle of the Zartan heads. Meh kinda cool. If you either know or have an idea about what all these strange white heads with red and others green squares on them are for please post what you think or know for a fact. I for one think it's most likely just the eyes but how cool would it be if you could see a face behind a face! Oh and other than the transparency issue I can't explain why are all the heads including the Zartan himself head are white? Why the white but not the SE head? It's weird.

The light shines through and the eyes turn red nothing ground breaking about it.

It must really be good since you are talking about red and green squaares in white heads and faces behind transparant faces and incredible grounbreaking features on a figure that hasnt been released yet. Oh and all at a quarter to 4 in the morning. Nice bro,please share!
Feel like a man at last?

I'm pretty sure it's just a light-piping feature. My older (but modern) Star Wars Jawas have it.

I had an endo-skeleton from kenner toys that had a similar feature that gave the ilusion of the eyes lighting up, while not groundbreaking its a pretty cool feature that wont effect the playability like a crappy tornado kick or whatever.
I think my kids would love something like that. Shame they never did a zartan that had clip on parts to further disguise him, or even special disguise packs that you could buy seperately.

I'll say it politely then -
Seems like there is a lot of "speculation" going on there. :( Docdrako is right though, I had a bunch of '90s Jawas that had this feature. Looks pretty cool, but you have to have the light right on top of their heads. Not a lot of display / play-abilty to see this feature. :(
