Zandar is totally badass. A deadly assassin no one "remembers" because no one survives. Loves his sister enough to keep the tatters of her shirt around his neck. Deeply resents his brother. Feared even by the other Dreadlocks.

I'm going to say this as a critique and something that can be updated. I am still firmly on #teamZandar, to be clear.
There are a ton of vibrant colors on Zandar. When dealing with bright, vibrant colors, like on either Zandar or Zarana, you should try to keep the variety of colors restrained. Zandar colors: 11 Zarana colors: 7 The Alley Viper is a prime example. Only 5 colors, 2 of which are very very minimal: I would consider trying to reduce the number of extraneous colors on Zandar, for an update. He can still remain colorful, but not busy colorful.

Deadnok Twins, I've followed you long enough to know that no matter what happens, whatever lengths Hasbro goes to MAKE YOU HAPPY, something they've never done for anyone in their Billion Dollar Business......it still won't be good enough unless it's EXACTLY what you demand, how you demand, and when you demand.
If any any point Zander isn't seen wearing a purple scarf that you (and ONLY you) determined was a piece of Zarana's shirt and it symbolizes his bizarre twincest unrequited love for her. You'll declare it a fail. If they're too updating and don't have the loud neon pink colors from 40 years ago...you'll "fail" and sulk about it. If it isn't constantly brought up over and over that they're twins (whichever specific type twin you genetically prefer) you'll complain and say nobody ever listens to you. Larry Hama gave you one of the greatest gifts he could give a Joe fan....he made your lifelong mission into CANON. The canon of LARRY...the only canon that counts!! You should have been overjoyed! Instead within a day you were griping and moaning how Zartan's new figure had a scarf to that ruins everything. You know the new Vipers have scarves too? Does that ruin everything? I just can't see any situation you'll be happy. I sincerely can't even imagine them doing a Zarana before soooo many other A list characters remain undone. Zarana is literally Z-list. He's right down there with Crystal Ball and Raptor. Lower even, cause he doens't even have a gimmick. If Zarana gets a new Classified figure it would be a MIRACLE, just like it was a miracle Larry Hama acknowledged your head canon in the real book. But I already know if it were to ever happen you've have something to complain about it and be all depressed all over again cause it just wasn't good enough. Why not buy the vintage figures and call it a day?? |

The comics definitely did not treat Zandar like a deadly assassin feared by the other ?Noks. I always thought he came off as a joke Dreadnok. |

Just finished a Zandar concept. A little more updated but I think it keeps the beats.

I'm not sure Zandar ever spoke any lines on the cartoon and the only thing he ever said in the comic was "Ow, I'm sitting here!" When someoene tried to sit in what he thought was an empty chair. I understand DT's love and passion for the character, but the rest of the world sees this guys as what he is: a way for Hasbro to use the last remaining vat of that color-changing plastic in the 80s and reuse Zartan parts. He's just a leftover and a throwaway. Best he's ever gonna get in Classified is a repaint with maybe one new piece, and that's only likely years and years from. |

The shirt tatters make sense. Her shirt is ripped as is the scarf. Both are the same/similar color. I can't remember seeing the feared, deadly assassin bit but maybe I've just forgotten him. I'm starting to feel as if Zandar would be in the same round of Classified figures as Quick-Kick (post-Jinx) or Airtight (post-Tripwire). |

Look, I get it. I want to barf every time I see "bUt SnAkE eYeS iS wHiTe!!" posts but whatever. We all care about something that ultimately doesn't really matter (GI Joe) so maybe just take a breath and let folks be? This is a small enough community as it is. Maybe notice how many of us in this thread have already made our love for Zandar as a totally badass character perfectly clear before speaking for "the rest of the world"?

I dig where you're going with this, though I'd keep the headband and shoulder armor (and go with more of a late 80s-early 90s Gambit-like hairstyle). The one thing that always bugged me about Zandar's figure was how the top part of the arms are just molded in blue like he's somehow wearing short sleeves that aren't secured to anything. I feel like he needs sort of a gladiator harness so the armor attaches to something.
