2022 Update: recreated same Retro Zartan concept , different paint technique, real
Materials added. Untitled by Slice's Customs, on Flickr by Slice's Customs, on Flickr Untitled by Slice's Customs, on Flickr by Slice's Customs, on Flickr Untitled by Slice's Customs, on Flickr Untitled by Slice's Customs, on Flickr Untitled by Slice's Customs, on Flickr Untitled by Slice's Customs, on Flickr Untitled by Slice's Customs, on Flickr by Slice's Customs, on Flickr by Slice's Customs, on Flickr 2021 This was built to customer specs. He wanted a direct version from the 1984 series 3 version 1 of Zartan with an updated swamp skier. And I was honored to bring it to life as Zartan is definitely one of my favorite bad guys. So I started with Zartans Head first. All completely hand painted . Once I got his head exactly how I envisioned, I built his body and painted it to exact specs of the OG version. Then began the Swamp Skier build. This was kinda my first “vehicle” custom so I just did a lot of trial and error , and how so much fun with it. Broke it down to bare bones , painted and rebuilt it back to my -and the customers specs I thought it’d be cool to add shocks to the rear, add a real cloth seat, and a pack to carry in the back country. Here is a no frills, direct Retro designed Zartan: Untitled by Slice's Customs, on Flickr Untitled by Slice's Customs, on Flickr Untitled by Slice's Customs, on Flickr Untitled by Slice's Customs, on Flickr Untitled by Slice's Customs, on Flickr Untitled by Slice's Customs, on Flickr Untitled by Slice's Customs, on Flickr Untitled by Slice's Customs, on Flickr Untitled by Slice's Customs, on Flickr Untitled by Slice's Customs, on Flickr

If he wanted a perfect original Zartan and a swamp skier......he got a perfect original Zartan and swamp skier. Can’t beat that build for Zartan, the BF knight parts work perfectly for quite a few Joe’s and Zartan is definitely one of them. Then just a super clean paint job and great accessorizing as always.
For your first vehicle, that swamp skier is a thing of beauty. I’ve never been crazy about it in toy form but it’s also never looked that good before. Love the addition of cloth to the seat. Perfect companion pieces, just box those things up and sell them at retail. I easily spent $0 on Joe after the Hasbro Pulse stream on Friday, had this set been revealed as an official product, I wouldn’t care that I already have like 12 modern collection Zartan’s, I’d be preordering this day one.
