SSC Zartan 12-Inch Figure

[Niltusk]

Forgive me if this has already been answered... But any good solves for getting the red hood/vest to more closely match the pants? Like a certain dye or something? I want to snag this guy, but the mis-match in color is keeping me from pulling the trigger...

I haven't done it, but Im sure you could strip both and re-dye with the color you want to get something similar to what you're asking.

I tried to dye it with Rit Dye but it didn't take. Must be the kind of fabric they used. Next I tried staining it in a dark brown acrylic paint bath and it turned it a mauve color.

Your custom Rancor Keeper belongs in the SW threads.

U wish, bit**.

Better than those short red riding/old mexican lady hoods.

 

[thenammagazine]

Better than a towel draped over his head.

Fixed for accuracy!

But seriously though, your Zarty needs some Beano.

Funny, I've gotten a lot of compliments for it. You just hate me is all.

That's beside the point!

I first tried mine on the TTM19 and then switched him to the Barney because of how skinny the TTM19's waist is, but I didn't like how he looks all bloated, so switched him back. Wish we'd get an in-between.

Saw all the nice zartan mods and thought I would try myself and left the pants in a little to long . Also I don't think I am super happy with the chest colour and will finish sewing the hood this weekend the I have a dark maroon colour same fabric just not cut and had a scrap I put on for now.

What's up with Darth Tan?

I dig your Z a lot, Canadian Wolverine.

Saw this figure and I love it. I've always loved Zartan. I'm happy that a local store has one more figure left and is selling for about $130 (sorta a clearing sale to make room for the incoming shipment, I guess). I think it was one of my easiest decisions to have it reserved so I could get it by this weekend

 

[the angry orc]

yeah, he is one of sideshow's best and one of my favorite 1/6 figures in my collection.

 

[EVILFACE]

A good figure with tweaks.

 

[the angry orc]

yeah, i guess i need to include the tweaks that made him one of my favorites...body switch, painted armor, dyed hood. the ex zuke head is another reason i dig him. although i still think he is pretty great right out of the box as well.

Glad to hear this Been going through the entire thread (yes, from page 1), and I enjoyed a lot of the pictures, the modification processes done by some, and even the nostalgic exchanges among our friends here.

Might also try to do some mods. I think the flat black paint looks great on the armor. It covers the dings and "scratches" on it that IMO don't really look too natural. I've seen the figure in person, and the 'damages' on the armor feels carefully laid out on the surface, instead of random and haphazard. Other than that, and the color of the hoodie, yes, I think it's an excellent figure.

So, the pegs and the head of this figure can readily fit a TTM-19, or were there adjustments made to it?

See you around, guys!

really surprised Zartan is still in stock at Sideshow...this is one of the best figures in the line
