SSC Zartan 12-Inch Figure

[Commtech]

You know, going back and watching the old 80's cartoon... i've noticed the animators made Zartan's hood into hair. anyone else ever notice that?

Back then as a kid, that's what I thought it was.

That is Zartan, great job commtech.

Thanks, Scifi!

Is he planning to hit up Eastern Europe?

That was probably 85-86, more of a city/MTV pop fad or possibly, as you pointed out, a polish revolution after too many Vodka's. This was probably more appropriate for 84.

The thing that hurts me the very most about this is the Lynn Swann shirt.

Thought you guys would like to see what a two right arm Zartan body looks like:

Thanks Sideshow!

Did you even grow up in the 80's? That pic there looks like mid-late 70's.

WOW! There've been more than a few reports of the same exact issue (only right arms). It's like some ____ing dumbass at the factory just thought he'd put the wrong arms on a bunch and nobody would notice. Thidethow Qwawity Contwow to da wethcew!

It looks 80's to me.
The decades don't fully transition until half way through. So the 80's didn't fully hit until around 85, there was still much of the 70's when I was a kid back then.

 

[Mercer]

Reminds me of early 80's. Mid 80's: parachute pants, white wash jeans, sports jackets and T-shirts.

Born in '74. Even early eighties I remember everyone kind of looking like they were auditioning for the Bad News Bears or The Champ (filmed in the late seventies). I don't think people really cared what they were wearing until around 85 and then what you wore defined who you socialized with. Members only jackets and Polos on one side of the room, Thriller Jackets and parachute pants on another, a few who were still wearing the Napoleon Dynomite softball shirts (hand me downs) and that's not including the head bangers or the skaters. Yeah, I remember it well. I freakin hated it, gosh!

I couldn't believe TA wanted to sell one of these for $28!
There was none of these issues with RnR, seems to me that the tattoo kept things straight there.

Soooooooo glad I grew up in the Bay Area then. I remember the jersey shirts, but don't remember the belly shirts (excluding pro wrestling) and peek-a-ball shorts carrying over into the 80's.

I don't think that would've helped. The forearms are correct, so it's just the upper arms. Did TA wind up selling the bod? I'd imagine if someone winds up with two left arms, they can pick it up for a fix (though I'd just send it back to Sideshow if I were them).

Lower forearm is also a righty, you can tell by the prominence of the Brachioradialis:

They must've sold it since it disappeared from their website.
If someone had two lefts I'd swap arms, but I don't think it's easy to remove the arms from the shoulders.

 

[Darth Cruel]

I haven't even checked my Zartan for this issue, yet. I am guessing that I better get on it.

Hmm. Mine were the right ones. That means the assembler just got straight-up lazy.

No its not, Since SS glued the sides of the chest. But it is do-able.

Big Props to Sideshow on Zartan - it's great but I don't like the bendy knees ! Wouldn't mind a few DreadNoughts or the twins Tomax and Xamot . But I'm ready for a female Joe like Scarlett or Baroness next ! If it's another dude Joe then please let it be Shipwreck !

Some shots of mine which arrived a few days ago - was so excited I didn't have time to futz with him yet.

Sideshow's gonna be making Battleships now? Josh is gonna pee himself!

Dreadnoughts, I guess Zartan is really upping his game ! Never thought the Noks were much of a threat anyway.

VERY Cool pix of zartan looks very evil in your shots cant wait to have this one...

 

[Lord Piper]

can't get my $180 figure to stand up for more than a couple of hours without a stand. Can anyone help a brother out with some advise on how to strengthen those weak-a$$ knees?

Thanks and sorry if this has been asked before.
