I can't believe how quickly this was shipped from Hong Kong, I only won this eBay auction last week - and that was on a whim, I barely caught the tail-end of it when I did a random search for "zartan"

Here's some initial pics, I do plan to open him up and will share pics later - he looks like he could be the best Zartan ever. Just got TFA Swoop & Snarl plus a Cobra Rattler so there's lots to open! Enjoy the MOC pics:

He's got the cutest wittle swamp skier ever, yes he does. The figure is really good looking and I like the idea of the interchangeable heads. Although I miss the bearded face.

New vs Old


My named-Cobra hierarchy is only missing a certain Doctor now...


Duke?


Storm Shadow?


Trick or Treat Zartan!


The band's back together!

Awesome pics, Zartan does look good in his latest form, are the shoulder pads removeable like his chest armour ?

Haha... remember the original commercial? 'Zartan? I don't know any Zartan.'

That is one fantastic figure. I can't wait to find one when they finally hit stores.

I'll be honest, I kind of like the li'l swamp skier. It's something small and compact that could be stowed close to a mission site with minimal chance of discovery. The original is great, of course, but this one's pretty neat.

Swamp skier looks like something frmo the little tykes or fischer price line. I justy don't understand why hasbro releases several of one person, but the later one being the best(aside from getting us to buy it all). Why couldn't they have just made this one from the beginning and been done with him? Then there could be someone else in this wave we don't have yet!

Nope, unfortunately his shoulder pad gear isn't removable, but on the flip-side it's a new upper arm mold! As you can see from the close up pics, his face paint application is a little off around the left eye, but other than that easy fix, my only other very minor gripe is his removeable knife. I don't see the point in it really, the knife has a rounded edge so it looks like a play-school kinda toy - easily replaceable again, but they should have just done a molded knife like Croc Master's. Also if his mini swamp skier could double as another backpack it would have been cooler. Still it's a great figure that does the character justice!

thanks for sharing. A very nice figure.3 small flaws though, the lack of paint on the left eye as you stated, seeing his left ear and the lack of paint on his belt too but 2 of 3 are ez enough fixes. I didn't know he came with 2 swappable heads so that's cool...

Great figure. And sweet pcis. Thanks for that.
Now I'd love to get a 25th V2 Zartan.

OK first of all, i cannot wait for mine to come in the mail!
Also, so seeing the commercial...look at the Destro one..I laughed my ass off

Now, back to the zartan..

Can you get a shot of both the first 25th one and the new one together?

sorry chaosx I don't have the wave2 (or 3?) Zartan anymore, when I found out wave 11 was coming out I got rid of that one. And yeah the Destro commercial rocks - he PWNED Steeler, what a putz that Steeler is.

Yeah I held out for this Zartan.
They should have also painted the top of his shoulders. More & more I get the feeling they are lapsing on paint apps.
