The figure will be the perfect "sister of Zartan" and leave no room for matching to a future Zandar...

Neither one of them is core. Not on the level of Duke, Cobra Commander, Stalker, Snake Eyes, Storm Shadow, etc. Core is the originals at least to me. I would rather get another two pack of some other figures than these. I know others like the dreadnoks but they never interested me. I think hasbro in a way is trying to push these to kids and I cant see kids giving a damn about these two.

Damn it.
I wrote this really long and POLITE post listing all the reasons I think Zarana has a fair chance of getting made, possibly as some kind of exclusive, mainly reused parts.....and that Zandar has a very slim chance, almost only if it's an exclusive using all reused parts except a head......but it got deleted. Crap. |

I don't think I've ever asked you this before, but what are your thoughts on the 2011 Zandar? I'd assume you don't much care for this particular take? Because there's no way that so-called "scarf" he's wearing could have been torn from his sister's shirt (or from just about anyone's shirt, actually*). That thing is huge! Almost looks more like a poncho.

PS This comparison clearly illustrates the difference between the two:
http://generalsjoesreborn.com/images.../zandar-19.jpg So unless that's Zarana's nightgown around Zandar's neck, Hasbro had apparently already abandoned the idea of tying the "twins" together through fabric-sharing long before creating Classified Zartan. Therefore I wouldn't worry too much about Zandar's fashion sense being "misappropriated" (or see it as some sorta ominous sign of things to come). https://www.3djoes.com/1988-internat...ing-guide.html As noted in the 1988 International Licensing Guide, the Hasbro design team themselves had indicated that the fabric worn by Zandar was supposed to be more of a violet (color 246), and the shirt worn by Zarana was supposed to be pink (color 190) as designated by their Pantone Matching System color chart designations. "The line art and color specifications used in this kit have been prepared to aid in the use of the property. The PMS colors specified for each character must be used consistently to maintain a distinctive look." I don’t know why the PMS color 190 was used on Zandar’s neck scarf in 1986, but clearly Hasbro had tried to end this by 1988 and give Zartan’s siblings a more distinctive color difference, so my guess is that it was only a mistake made in the first place to have the Pink color on Zandar. Only for nostalgia purposes was the scarf intentionally colored Pink on the 2011 Zandar (v.2) which came with the 30th Anniversary line Dreadnoks Battle Set, just as the “Mickey Mouse” flawed Cobra emblem was intentionally placed on the 2017 SDCC/Hascon exclusive Cobra Commander (v.56), also simply for nostalgia purposes.

Look at that....he has the most colors of anyone on the chart. At least in pre-production they were giving him some love!

Playful, why do you do this?
The scarf being ripped from Zarana's shirt has reached fanon status. Not with you, obviously, but with many others. What deepens the characters? It being just a fashion statement or a ripped piece of material from Zarana's shirt?

The idea of a brother wearing a piece of his sister's ripped shirt is kind of–how do I say this–"incesty"? Maybe I only think that because both characters are alive and work together so it just makes me question the nature of their relationship. Maybe if one had been killed or if they were lovers it would feel more fitting.
