I'm with you on Zartan and his baldness - rewatching the cartoon that hood had a wavyness to it that made it look like, well now that I look at it, your hair. Even beyond that though I have two words for you - Cold Slither. After seeing the bright red mohawk Zartan they came out with during the more absurd years of G.I. Joe, I fully believe that the long wild red hair he had while playing Cold Slither is his real hair.
Zartan's "hair": a mystery as old as time. Right up there with the Rumble is Frenzy conspiracy... I also blame the Shadow People for the damaged packaging. Prove me wrong.
My Zartan should arrive tomorrow. I think it's the best Zartan in the Classified line. By the way, as a kid watching the cartoon, I always thought that was Zartans hair.
Another great video Kyle! I'm sold. Now the hard part trying to find one?! Btw I believe zartan platooned with a young Randy Poffo on the St. Lewis cardinals😂
Can't wait to get all the Dreadnoks so I can make a Cold Slither Shelf! Personally I like the Master of Disguise Zartan does it for me but I have them all displayed, they all have there good and bad qualities. Hopefully they release all the lesser known Dreadnoks like Zanzibar, Storm Rider (w/Doom Cycle), Burn Out, Rugrat, Machete (w/Dreadnok Cycle), Death Metal, Crusher, Gnawgahyde, Heart-Wrencher, Chop Shop, and Demolisher. And also, since Hasbro likes to reuse body molds they can release the Dreadhead Cousins (Billy-Bob, Cletus, Joe-Bob, Otis, Roscoe, Vance) since the original 3.34" figures were all identical. I will also be displaying Copperhead with my Dreadnoks as he worked for them as well as Cobra, can't wait.
I just got this Zartan today, I opened him up while watching your review, that was fun! I only recently got into collecting Classified figures (they hooked me in with that Serpentor set), actually I only just started watching the GI Joe cartoon, it was never something I was into as a kid, everything was just Thundercats and then Turtles for me. But man it's a fun cartoon, especially the early episodes, very 80's campy. I just happened to see the retro Zartan on the Walmart website and I jumped on it, this one is perfect for me because it looks the most like the cartoon version, which are really the only figures I'm trying to get for the most part. Of course he got shipped in an envelope and of course my mailman folded it right in half and stuffed it in the mailbox, womp womp waa... at least the figure is ok, definitely can't say the same for the card back unfortunately
From what I heard there not doing anymore Walmart retro card backs the 8 that we have gotten in the line is it…….makes Sense classified is basically the retro line now anyways
I don’t know. I had the 3.75” Zartan figure from the 80s with the vehicle. If that vehicle is going to bump up the cost for $20 for Classified version, it won’t be worth it.
Is easy to wear different wigs when the head is shave bald. In some versions of Zartan he has a Mohawk. I supossed the hoodie is to cover up Zartan's well known sensitive skin.
It's due to the cartoon. The animators actually animated him for the first two seasons I think as him having hair.They misunderstood the animation model they were given. If you look closely you can see his hair parting in chase scenes and such. It was later corrected in season 3 I believe.

Great review
I need a "Cell phone, Internet, think about it" shirt.
Same! Did not know he was bald until the classified line 😂😂😂😂
Love this line. Give me more. I hope they come out with all the cobra commanders

I'm waiting for this Zartan to arrive from my Walmart preorder last year... This figure looks really cool Kyle 😀👍
Just rewatched “Arise, Serpentor Arise” it totally looks like hair without context.👊🏽
You always manage to throw in those Baseball jokes with the Oakland A's! lol! Too funny!
My Zartan should arrive tomorrow. I think it's the best Zartan in the Classified line. By the way, as a kid watching the cartoon, I always thought that was Zartans hair.
Love the shirt. You should do a "broken toy" compilation. Toys that broke during a review
Only 4 out of 5k or so figs. Not a bad record
Another great video Kyle! I'm sold. Now the hard part trying to find one?!

Great review! This version of Zartan is cartoon accurate. Also no mention of the green eyes compared to the other versions.
The skull mask would look cool on one to hang out with the other swamp and jungle dudes. Copperhead and Shadow Tracker
I had the same problem growing up with Zartan's not-hair hair.

I think I'm going to have to have him.
Hey Kyle, which ringside collectibles stands do you use for your Masters of the universe Origins figures?
I love this version better of Zartan, but they are all nice!
Got my SS retro today and it came in an envelope. Mine was screwed also.
We need a retro firefly. Hated the giant vest they put on the first figure.
They have a new one coming to classified line
I like Zartan as a character for his abilities but he dresses like he's about to sing "Y! M! C! A!"
ive gotta snag that one for sure!
Wow that cool figure
Zartan killed Storm Shadows uncle in the comics, that's why he joined Cobra.
I don’t know. I had the 3.75” Zartan figure from the 80s with the vehicle. If that vehicle is going to bump up the cost for $20 for Classified version, it won’t be worth it.
We have already had two prior solo releases so this would have made it more special
Would have been perfect with the color change option.

Ninja force represents with the mowhawk
I always thought it was hair and not a hood as a kid also.
Did not even know this one existed - but I've yet to find any other than lady jaye / baroness and most are always in terrible condition.
👽❤️ Cold Slither ☠️
I THOUGHT IT WAS (ZARTAN'S) HAIR ALSO....THE BALD HEAD THROWS ME OFF TO..LOL.
Does zartan change colors.
He’s been known to
Can that Zartan figure change his color in sunlight?
No pulse exclusive one can
this latest Zartan you can see the face sculpt is much cheaper and cheesier looking, along with the last couple waves are looking poor

I’m amazed on how many people thought his hood was his hair. I feel like I am in the minority because I always thought it was a hood.

Your Zartan's face paint and eyes are misprinted like mine. Quality control is shit with Hasblo. Who's in charge of that? Stevie Wonder?
I knew it was a hood, but did not know he was bald. Today years old.
