The people who make the packaging seem to be really strugling with the basics. This is the second figure they mess up the character's affiliation after "Arctic Mission" Storm Shadow who should be a Joe and not a Cobra, not to mention he's not supposed to be arctic anything. They have also messed up the name of the character at times, like the Python Trooper being mistakingly labeled as an Officer... I bet they are also responsible for these really unfortunate choices for box artwork.
Its interesting and ironic seeing Classified Zarana with that arm issue because my vintage Zarana actually broke her arm in that exact same place when I was a kid, so it would actually be vintage accurate, at least in my case.
Oops, forgot to add that I love this Classified figure. Her expression, the paint detailing, everything about Zarana really captures the character. I was lucky enough to find an L.O.L Surprise! Dance Machine Car at the thrift store, it's perfect for Zarana and friends (in my case, by friends I mean Pandora from Action Force and a B.A.T being smuggled in the trunk).
I must be one of the few people who liked the alternate 'vintage' hair more! I'm glad they included the different hair, although I do think the normal hair she comes with is also good - so it's nice to have 2 good choices. I feel like they did a really good job on her. One of my faves from the line so far. I might've suggested lighter denim for her jeans, though, because that would make her more eighties, but that's a real nit-pick!
This is an excellent figure of Zarana. There was a variant with a different hair style and earrings in the vintage line. I like the anime styled box art along with the more vibrant color scheme for this figure. You could do head swaps with Marvel Legends Peggy Carter to achieve that Sunbow disguise in the episode where she falls for Mainframe.
Oh cool, I'll look out for that figure, if there's one thing Hasbro should have done with Zarana it was to add another head or even make it a two pack with a disguised version. I found that the L.O.L Surprise! Dance Machine Car makes a perfect ride for this Zarana figure, found mine for $5 or so at the thrift shop.
Great Review, now I'm really thinking about getting a Zarana. Just this week I finally got a Crimson Guard and a Crimson B.A.T., little by little my Classified collection grows.
The red knife is meant to be scolding. Her backpack is supposed to be hating it up. Zarana is one of my favorite villains figures in the line and maybe one of the best female figures, but Covergirl and all three of movie girls are pretty good too.
I like the Classified female figures. GI Joe Origins Scarlett really needed a few more accessories but the figure was good. Cover Girl is great and I like the variation of Classified 19 GI Joe Origins Baroness. In my diaroma, she does more than Baroness does since I have the 19 figure "recast" as Baroness's bored younger sister or something, eager for action on the battlefield. Another great 6" female figure is Action Force Pandora. No I don't work for them, just a big fan. I have a bunch of Action Force already (Blowback, Garrison Trooper, Trigger, Pandora etc) and highly recommend if you haven't taken the chance already. Valaverse figures are on par with the best of Classified, easy, IMO.
I just ordered her but from Amazon for $ 23. .. said only 3 left. Know 2. But I do like Big bad toys as well. Thank you for the content thatvy ou put out .😎👍🏻
Still available at BBTS: bit.ly/classifiedzarana
It's weird that her packaging has the Cobra emblem on it and not the emblem of the Dreadnoks like the box her big brother Zartan came in
That is indeed strange.

Didn't they do the same thing with Zandar??
This figures looks like Jan from the Office. I wish the Office figures were in the same scale.
Mainframe x Zarana was likely gonna continue had the show not been canned. The DiC Show Doesn't and Never Will Count. Period.
What DIC show? 😉

😂 Good thing Classified Beach Head wasn't vintage accurate.
I really like Zarana's alternate, vintage-inspired hair style. That's the hair piece I display mine with.
Enjoy! 👍
I agree. I like the all pink look better. It's the throwback 1986 hair design.
Awesome figure!!! Great review as always Michael.
This is a nice figure. A pity that the arm issue seems pretty common.
The hair version that you pick out Mike is cool and looks on spot
I don't know why, but I can't seem to get Hasbro figures to hold their weapons (especially the guns)
Had the same arm issue
Bummer.
Thanks!

That's a great idea for a custom disguised Zarana.

Thank you. If you do, I hope yours doesn't have any issues.
Can I get that in a Hot Toy???
Great Review!
Thank you.
YO JOE!SUPER COOL!😁!
I got the Big Trouble in Little China movie reference.
I wasn't going to mention it, but you know what ole Jack Burton always says...
Everyone loves a bad girl 😀. Nice review, I need to pick this one up.
Thanks! I wonder if she's into Mainframe because he's a marine or if it's because he's a computer guy. 😁
Hi Michael.....can u see the singer Pink in figure form?
Yes a bit.

She really is one of the best Classifieds though. Pretty much as perfect a Zarana as can be.
Aside from the floating arm.
@@MichaelMercy Mine didn't have that problem, you were unfortunate to get one from a problematic batch.
