10. Zarana is among my favorites. She has one of the best facial sculpts of the Classified line and I've replaced the awful Lady Jaye head with Zarana's. In my head-canon, Zarana is really a constructed identity for Lady Jaye, who went undercover after the Joes learned that Zartan pulled a switch-a-roo with Ripcord. So, whilst Zartan rots in a cell, Ripcord and Lady Jaye keep infiltrating Cobra with the aide of Zandar the Eunuch who just wanted someone to treat him like family.

I doubt it's interesting to most of you but I just noticed that every one of Zarana's weapons until the SDCC figure is the cutter but her con figure has Ripper's rifle too...Classified turned the cutter into the secondary on her SIG. That's cool to me but I noticed for the first time that his rifle is very close to the Joe's XMLR laser but seems to use magazines instead

8. Probably be higher if I actually liked Dreadnoks more. Great toy though.

I finally got this one (it's available cheap on Amazon, only $10). I'm not a fan of the Dreadnoks, so this wasn't high on my list of wants anyway, but I'm always down for a female figure.

I'm genuinely surprised by the praise on here though. Her arms are just awful. They pop out for doing almost anything. I'm not sure if it's a defect or just bad QC, but I can barely move them without them slipping off at the bicep constantly.

Mine also had some bent weapons (which is weird because this was one of the last of the hard-weapons releases), although they went back to normal pretty easily with some heat. Still not a great look.

The sculpt is very cool looking, and I like the extras like the alt hair, but I can't give this more than a 7. The arm issues are just too bad to ignore for me.

I gave her a 9
Only one of mine had the arm pop issue she looks great nice mix of old & new her colors arent crazy but they arent bland or boring either .. shes cool i have picked up extras on discount just because i like the character .
Now if we can get that guy that looks like her twin made we will be set whats his name again..
Oh thats right its zandar

Also i cant believe i missed so many of these poles ..

Late to the party, but I don't vote until/unless I actually have the figure. So I just opened Zarana, and I'm not too impressed. The word that comes to mind is mediocre. Sure, its an adequate redo of her original figure, but it brings nothing new to the table.

It is well sculpted and painted, like most Classified figures. I'm consistently impressed with the Classified head sculpts, they are the most realistic, human-like faces I have ever seen at this scale and she is no exception. Her gun is again an adequate redo of her original one. I like that she comes with a dagger and the hotknife thingie.

But its mediocre compared to what they could have done. I wish they were a little more bold with the trashy/punk aesthetic. Not a hint of cleavage, despite her package art. In fact she is fairly flat chested. And her pink underroos, while true to the original design, just look dumb. It would have been such an improvement to give her black fishnets like her black repaint figure. And this line likes giving tattoos to so many figures that didn't originally have one, but they don't give her any?? It would have gone with her theme so well. (instead they give tats to an undercover agent like Jynx, which is silly, but that's another topic.)

Not a bad figure, but nothing really good about it either. She could have gotten a 5, but I ended up voting 4 for all the missed opportunities. If she wasn't so deeply discounted, I never would have bought her!

They weren't really doing the tattoos yet when Zarana was designed. If they do a retro carded version of Zarana, they might add some.

Could be better. Not a fan of facial expressions. Loved this figure as a kid and the Dreadnoks as a whole. Load out could be better too but I am not mad at her. She grew on me over time. Will look great once I pick up Zandar too. Right now she is on the back of a motorcross driven by Storm Shadow. Once I get Zandar he will ride bitch and she will drive lol. He is to be unseen anyways, no? 8
