    Amazing figure from an amazing line.

    Pursuit Of Cobra is making some of the best G.I. Joe figures ever.

    This Zartan really capture the essence of the chracter.

    Definitely agree. This is a fantastic figure.

    While it is definitely a great Zartan, anyone else also think that this could be an awesome update of Raptor. Less "crazy guy in a bird suit" and more "mystic and shaman who can communicate with and utilize birds of prey for his own purposes?"

    Great photo, great figure.

    I'd never thought I'd be impressed by toy's realistic sunburn.

    @Barbecue17: Defo agree about Raptor.

    Excellent photo BTW.

    I paid $15 for the unproduced version from some dude in Hong Kong last spring. I didn't want to risk not getting one when they released the final version.

    He is amazing. Easily one of the most photogenic Joes ever, along with the awesome Ripcord with the giant jetpack.

    Here's a shot of the more movie-flavored head:

    i don't know why, but i really love this take on zartan. he just looks WICKED!

  8. I totally see the Raptor resemblance. He was one of my favorite figures that I owned as a kid.

    I think I'll pick him up if I ever see him!
