Anyone have a Zartan that still changes color?

I had a Zarana as a kid that stopped working shortly after I got it. It could be a batch issue, or maybe even an overuse thing.

I'm sure she got overused, a lot.

This thread inspired me to rip through my MOC guys and see... Kidding.
Haven't seen them change since I was a kid. Cool. The Skier is mine from new, but sadly the figures are replacements I picked up off Craigs about a year ago. Maybe I'll check out Ozone tomorrow. Oh, anyone have a thigh pad?

Hey oh!😅

Mine rapidly changes colors but it does have one weird thing. Every few months a white layer builds up, only on the black parts of the fig like the mask and hands. It comes right off with just my finger nail but it is odd.

Have any of you experienced anything like that?

Um... No comment....
Thinking about it, though, she spent most of the summer I got her outside as part of a months long battle. She was definitely blue for a lot of it and it wasnt until that winter that I noticed she didn't change anymore.

My Zartans do that, too. It's probably some sort of deterioration...
I just brush it off with a toothbrush.

Haven't tried sticking anything in sunlight lately.

Sounds like the lyrics to a song. LOL

My oring zartans still change color and my pulse con changes to a very dark blue berry color.

(Both my childhood Zartan and Zarana as well as my Dreadnok Air Assault set still change color...)
