Is that Steven Segal and Zartan's love child? I think Duke should execute him.

What a pos. And people were comparing Duke to a Hasbro figure lol.
Greatest Cobra character there is. Should be the next announced Sideshow figure, IMO.

No less than Firefly, or Destro, or Storm Shadow.

Storm Shadow and Firefly both wore the Cobra Logo. Though I do agree with lumping Firefly into that category as that always seemed like an afterthought to make him "less Joe."
Funny enough, in the comics, Zartan was more loyal to Cobra Commander than just about anyone else, despite supposedly being an independent contractor-type. Major Bludd, Baroness, Destro, and others seemed a lot more likely to turn on him at any given time. Storm Shadow, of course, was essentially a spy who never intended on supporting Cobra Commander after he found out who killed the Hard Master. I don't know what constitutes being a member of Cobra exactly, but unless you want to limit it to troopers, vipers, the Commander himself, and a small handful of other, glorified troops (like Scrap Iron, maybe Major Bludd), it is ambiguous.

I think that had more to do with not biting the hand that feeds him than anything else. Nevertheless, Zartan, unless disguised, despite 18 variants, never wore the Cobra sigil except for this retarded version (DDP?) which I never saw anywhere:
I guess that's true, but I don't think Major Bludd had a Cobra symbol on him, either. Was he not a member of Cobra?

I thought he did, it was just modified and had a knife through it.
I guess who qualifies as a cobra or not can be quite important when it comes to giving them a base. Does Zartan come with a Cobra base or a Dreadnock base? Would they dare pull a lame Clone exclusive and make the Dreadnock base the exclusive?
I don't think Major Bludd had the Cobra logo (at least on the original figure) but I do consider him part of the Cobra High Command. He was the commanding officer in the field most of the time unless CC, Destro, or the Baroness showed up. But he does have his own logo which is a skull with a knife through it. But I think a Cobra Logo on Bludd would be just fine as he is more of a full time Cobra than Zartan ever was.
