Zartan, the master of disguise and the owner of a weird skin condition, is getting an updated G.I. Joe Classified figure! The iconic evildoer comes with several interchangeable faces, and his skin finally turns dark blue when exposed to the elements!
This Zartan will only be available via Hasbro Pulse, but it looks like he is sold out. If he does become available again, get ready to spend $36.99. Additionally, Hasbro is releasing retro versions of Snake Eyes and his rival Storm Shadow. The duo will ship together, and the pack is priced at $39.99.

I picked up the retail version of Zartan a couple of months ago. He was cool and sported many of the hallmarks of the original figure, but his skin didn’t change color. I wasn’t expecting it since this was a collector’s line and that play feature was more for kids. It is nice that Hasbro is releasing a figure with that feature plus a bunch of extras.
I remember my original Zartan figure from the ’80s losing his ability to change color after a while. It was probably the Florida sun. I always thought it was weird that he came with one pretty generic disguise face. Then again, this was before multiple interchangeable heads were standard in action figures. Still, his uniform was unique, and there’s no way the Joes wouldn’t catch on to a guy dressed up like that.
The Snake Eyes and Storm Shadow retro figures come on classic blister packs. Heck, the packs even feature to old-school Hasbro logo. But, man, that takes me back.
