I was reading this thread about a custom Zarana which I forgot to leave a post. Great custom on that Zarana, hope Hasbro makes her!
I didn't want to take over this fella's thread so I had to make one. I never thought to ask until tonight, right now, to get more information. I can't say how long ago I heard that Zartan, Zarana, and Zandar were brothers and sister until I read the comic books I have (forgot which series) that explained that Zartan is the father of Zarana and Zandar and one more girl that I forgot her name. Today my wife was bored so she decided to read my G.I.Joe comic books collection and asked me if I ever knew the story about the trio. I only told her what I remembered from long ago that they were brothers and sister until my wife read the book and sorta called me a liar that the book said Zartan is the father to them two. Now which version is true? Maybe I didn't pay attention carefully or something but I would like to get the story straight. If Zartan is the father, then why or how did Zarana and Zandar became a member of the Dreadnoks?

The twins just kind of stumbled onto the Dreadnoks not knowing that their brother was Zartan. The story is in Dreadnoks Declassified.

I had a friend give me a VHS GI Joe The Movie from 1987 Friday night. I had never seen it as it came out well after I had lost interest as a kid in Joes. There is an interesting scene where Zarana sheds a Blonde Bimbo disguise down to her bathing suit. Zartan shows up and mentions something about her being his sister. I dont remember if Zandar was there.

No Zarana and Zandar are for sure Zartan's twin siblings. Meaning he's the oldest and they are fraternal twins. Zartan's daughter is Zanya, therefore Zarana and Zandar are her aunt and uncle. They like Z's. If that's the case it stands to reason that Zanzibar is related to that family some how, but there was never mention of that.

I want to know what their last name is. If it's like the Kardashians, then that's obnoxious. Zartan Zamboni. Zippitidoodah.
The story about them growing up in an orphanage, with Zartan being older, and the 2 "twins" being younger, is exactly what I had in my head, although I can't recall ever reading that story anywhere. I'd always thought they were twins though. |

I never liked Zandar, either. The cartoon was my canon growing up, and he never seemed to do much. Only recently with everyone's customs have I gotten to semi-like the guy.
He only has one figure too, that I can find listed on YoJoe. Which means he wasn't very popular to Hasbro, either. Not even a re-release, which is sad. He's the black sheep of the Zippitidoodah kids. |

Zandar is awesome! Pit him against Zarana and the witch is going down.
