Having just flipped through the Hasbro Heroes Sourcebook, there isn't even a mention of Zandar and Zarana being related to Zartan. Is that still true in the IDW canon? It honestly sounds like the IDW version of them is significantly different than the original Marvel/Sunbow version. It also seems strange that Hasbro uses the IDW artwork of Zarana on the G.I. Joe website, so maybe they plan to retain the IDW background for her and Zandar?
EDIT: Then again, Hasbro seems to be taking art from every source for the character profiles... there is some original card art from ARAH and Operation: Blackout art, as well.

And confirming Zandar's scarf is the torn piece of Zarana's shirt. I'd develop the two of them together.

I wrote Hasbro a few times as a kid. I usually got back form letters, but I did get back a very nice personalized letter in 95 when I desperately wrote them wanting to know what happened to G.I. Joe.
As for your crusade, I don't really know what you expect or want out of it when there's no real G.I. Joe canon that exists right now outside of comics, and even those don't have a unified continuity. Hama wrote it in for you, and he's the Joe Godfather. I'd call that a win. Zarana's upcoming figure will have some art on the front of the box and a picture of the figure on the back. If he gets one, Zandar will be the same. There's zero biographical info, zero story for Classified, nothing. It's not that your'e not being heard; it's that what you're asking for isn't exactly relevant to what's happening with the brand.

Yet it mentions Zarana is Zartan's sister in her bio on gijoe.com. Nothing about Zandar.

And given the fact that we've regularly seen Zartan and Zarana in the line since their inception, unlike Zandar, I'm just not seeing why it's surprising that she's listed as so.

Padding in the sense that it didn't exist in other properties prior to being added to the sourcebook. Generally, a sourcebook is a collection of information about a character based on stuff that has been released in previous sources, hence the name. But with Zandar, there is so little information and history about him (in cartoons, comics, etc...), they probably felt they had to invent stuff in order to pad out his entry.

It is quite easy, actually. To craft a more persuasive/effective request letter, simply follow the ten truly brilliant* tips below. Doing so will (essentially) ensure you receive a "real" response**.

Follow Svetlana's advice, and you'll be amazed how easily (and dramatically) negative perceptions can change. PS Pay particular attention to #5 and #10.

The only way something like that happen, is someone like a fan with huge money/cash purchase Hasbro.
