It’s Friday! I’m about to leave for Comiccon in a little over an hour but I couldn’t go without posting this week’s Flashback, right? Right! Let’s do this!
If I were a little better in planning ahead, I’d have had a comic-themed flashback for today. Well, G.I.JOE has a comic book, but you know what I mean…or do you? I think I’m babbling which is a solid sign I should just move on. Remember, all the pictures are clickable, so you know…click them.
Red Rich is here as Zartan. For once, Rich decided that changing the colour of his mask isn’t an adequate disguise so he added a stick-on beard. The yellow mask does look sharp though.
Here’s the action figure card. Originally Zartan was sold in a box with his Water Chameleon. I did some searching and found a card. I don’t recall ever seeing him sold this way back in the day though.
Here’s the comparison to the original mash-up. The first time around, I didn’t like that Zartan’s card art pose meant that you couldn’t see most of his costume so I went with a page from the comic book. I really wanted to replicate the cards this time around so you don’t get to see much of his chest plate.
That’s all for this week folks! Have a great weekend! I know I should!
