Presenting the Cobra shape-shifting mercenary, Zartan from the GI Joe Retaliation line.I remember being totally in awe back when I was a kid and had a 1984 released Zartan figure. The figure action changed color in the sunlight (yeah we were a generation that was easier to please)! Even Zartan's body-armor had thermal sensitive stickers that changed color depending upon the temperature, and he came with a swamp skier that also changed color in the sunlight.
Oh happy days.
Unfortunately his 25th anniversary figure - which came with a scaled down version of the Swamp-Skier - does not change color.
He was probably toxic.
There was also a really, really cool version of Zartan released in the Pursuit of Cobra line which I have not reviewed, but can be glimpsed here.
