Great review. I like this version of Zartan better than the other versions as well. I wanted to collect this retro series with a 2nd set unopened. But the issue is the card itself is big and paper thin. Then to compound it, Walmart usually sends these in plastic bag shippers, so they usually come in terrible condition (badly twisted, folded card and the plastic bubble is usually crushed and sometimes cracked/broken).

So true. I got lucky in that I ordered him along with the retro cardback Storm Shadow and they sent them in a large box. No bubble wrap or anything but they arrived with pretty decent cards, no damage but I have seen so many people getting them all kinds of destroyed.

Master of disguise is perfect for me. Love the silver on his armour, all the extra accessories, the pale skin and colour change gimmick. Just wish he came with that monkey paw from ver 1. A great figure whichever version you pick up.

Yeah the monkey paw and snake head from the first release was a very nice touch. I did like those for sure.

I got the brown one used, and I like that one best. The only way I'd want more would be color changing with a transparent chest plate.

I Pre ordered him and card back StormShadow when they 1st released. My order was delayed for some reason. I seen them available online once again and they came within a week. Thoughts? It was weird.

I had pre-ordered both of them in July of last year and both came in-stock on Walmart's website about a month ago and mine never shipped. And still hasn't. I contacted Walmart customer service and they gave me a $10 credit per figure and so I ordered the ones in-stock and saved $10 each. Call them and be nice and they should take care of you.

I'm still waiting on my retro Zartan to come in. I kind of wish they had a way of making that chest armor glow red kind of like the early episodes of GI Joe when Zartan would get mad and it would start glowing with a lightsaber sound. I also wish they would do a clear plastic version of Zartan to emulate his chameleon abilities

Yes! I would love an all clear version of Zartan as well. That would be amazing. Like what Habro has done with a couple of their Power Rangers figures. That would be rad.

I have all three versions, BUT i do think that once we get a Haslab for the Thunder Machine the clear body armor version may end up being a Tier that is released (well i hope so at least)

I found the Retro Zartan randomly in clearance aisle at a smaller store near me. No sign of ANY other Joes, whatsoever. 🤷♂️🙄 Despite the giant yellow sticker and a slightly crumpled card, I’ve been hesitant to open him, as well. So many Jayes and both Baronessesesses blocking any new stock at WMs around here. And PP exclusive overstock at Target made them block/skip the Zarana Wave. Now the Crimson BATs are warming pegs at most stores, with Falcon keeping them company at several. 🤦♂️ I managed to get ONE Courtney. Honestly, if WM would just clearance the Jayes, I would buy several for greenshirt fodder. I already made the OG into a Courtney custom, which then got turned into a Tanshirt extra when they announced her. Sigh…. And with my luck, Zandar will only be available in a 3pk of the Z-siblings!

Walmart should not have these exclusives- they just delayed my order for retro snake eyes and crimson guard. They also delayed my storm shadow preorder but was able to get it in stock online. Hasbro needs to make these mainline releases

Yep same here. I had my retro card Storm Shadow on pre-order since June of last year and they never filled my order but got it in on line for $5 more. I called their customer service line and asked them to check on it and they said my order wouldn't be fulfilled but gave me a $10 online credit and so I canceled my pre-order and got the SS online for $10 off. Call and complain but be nice and respectful and they should hook you up. Good luck.

Got mine about 2 weeks ago. They shipped him in a flimsy plastic bag with no bubble wrap or anything. Card was wrecked and he has a dent in his chest. Not a huge dent but it is definitely damage. So he is my Retro Zartan with Battle Damage. I still have him on my display even though I have the first one and the special SDCC one.
