Don't you correspond with Hama? He's had way more input into Zandar and Zarana's personalities over the years than Hasbro. All they do is make toys. What happens to the characters beyond that is left to Hama, and Sunbow, and DiC, and DDP, and IDW, etc...

I do correspond with Hama, but we don't always talk about GI Joe and I think Hama hates Zandar anyway.

I still don't understand why Hasbro would acknowledge Zarana & Zandar as a pair, and tease about them, while not regarding them as such for release and lore purposes. :(

Mud Wasp said earlier that they don't regard Zarana & Zandar as an inseparable pair (but with Ripper coming, we'll get the other two OG Dreadlocks of the trio before long.)
Why not regard Zarana & Zandar as an inseparable pair? They're TWINS for crying out loud!

The way I understood things back then was that Hasbro creative design team comes up with a figure mock up and they will just tell Larry Hama or whoever else was writing file cards the basics on the character: Like for Stalker, they just say he's a G.I.Joe Ranger on the team. Snake Eyes is the Commando. Heck, I don't even remember if they gave them the code name other than what they did and Larry Hama came up with the Code name too. I really don't remember. Anyways, then Larry or whoever was in charge of that batch of filecards will make stuff up to flush out the character, and Larry did even more in the comics.

Oh nono, what I meant was Emily revealed Zarana & Zandar's vintage figures at the end of one of the livestreams and talked about them briefly. She called them "twin figures" and it was cool. Then, in another livestream, Emily and Lenny teased like they were going to introduce two characters at once as 'friends of retro Zartan' and then said Zarana 'needed a friend' and revealed Dusty. I wasn't the only one who thought they meant Zandar. So they're teasing and even acknowledging the pair aspect, but Mud Wasp says they don't. I'm confused.

I'm confused why Mud Wasp, an avid screw with your head person, would love Zandar and Zarana so much she would correspond with Hasbro about them over and over again just so she/he can tear you down about it.
The answer is she/he is not corresponding with Hasbro and she/he just enjoys playing with your feelings. Mud Wasp doesn't talk to Hasbro. Hasbro doesn't give three shits about Mud Wasp and Mud Wasp doesn't give three shits about Zandar and Zarana. If Mud Wasp cared enough about Zandar and Zarana as she/he claims to, she/he would take your side more instead of ripping you apart.

It's been mentioned here previously, that they might be close twins in the comics or other lore but this is non-existent in the toys where they were briefly only mentioned to be siblings. Here's the reason I've stated here previously proving in the toy line Hasbro doesn't see them to be inseparable... There's no Zandar in the 2004 set with the purple Zarana though this could be oversight by the club or the mold was lost or broken Zarana's not in the Dreadnoks BBTS set...however it's likely because of her two SDCC exclusives-though her shirt is nowhere close to the pink of Zandar's so no connection there Zarana's v2 outfit has no pink coloring with no Zandars in the Spy-Troops line Zandar's not in the 3pk comic book line which started in VvV, she is exclusvely in the set with Zartan Zarana's not mentioned on Zandar's filecards, only Zartan Zandar's not mentioned in Zarana's filecards, only Zartan However, there's two passionate people running the Joe line right now who have given us lots of unexpected figures so far They've told us everything from 82 to 94 is possibly forthcoming, but they've even gone past that now that Kamakura's coming soon I've seen the Dreadnoks mentioned, yes, because in the entirety of GIJoe RAH whether toys, cartoons, etc. Buzzer, Ripper, & Torch don't get seen independently or released on their own. They're the sub-team's iconic duo that represents the Noks. What's going to happen when the reveals happen for Zandar but you don't like it? If there's no filecards there's no connection to his twin. What's going to happen once you have both figure in your hands? You're going to stop collecting? You've got to have other interests in GIJoe I'm guessing? If you're so into the characters you obviously have lots of their previous figures, why don't you post pics here? I'd like to see them |
