A few years back I went through something of a buying spree. I snatched up bags of G.I. Joe parts in search of needed items.
If I needed a waist, I’d buy a whole collection just to get it.
As such, I have bags filled with just waists. Others loaded with legs, others with torsos. I even have a bag of heads.
Okay… this is starting to get weird.
Anyway, as I was preparing this post and after I took the photos, I gave one of my bags a look see on the off chance I actually had Zartan’s waist. And as it turned out, I did.
However, he’s not really ready to be reassembled. His broken leg means I need to keep the search going for replacement parts.

But I’m off to a good start here, I think. I have all the snap-on pieces, such as his leg pieces and his chest guard. And they are in surprisingly good shape. I also love that I have not only his backpack, but the mask inside.
(I do have another Zartan backpack, but that one was empty.)
Always like the figure, and thought it was a good addition to the assorted G.I. Joe villains. I think in part because he wasn’t necessary bad like the rest of Cobra.
Either way, looking forward to being able to get him fixed up.
