loved the zartan and dreadnok figures. I always liked the bad guys the most in not only gi joe, but the transformers 80's cartoon show. They were the most interesting and complex characters.
OK it kind of makes sense that Zartan's sis and bro change color in sunlight.....but Why the Hell does the Copter change color too!!!! Why would Cobra even enginere a feature like that? As a joke, against the Zartan Clan? DESTRO: Zartan here is your new Swampfire...but oh wait! I forgot to show you its hidden feature! Watch what happens when I open the bay doors and let the sunlight in! *Swampfire changes color just like Zartan does * ZARTAN: .......very funny DESTRO: MWAHAHAHAHA
The only thing I hated about these toys... 20 years later when you stumble upon old boxes of these... you realize just fragile these toys were and how fucking retarded it was not to keep the broken parts. I had 2 of the swampfires and I'm missing many pieces. It brings a tear to my eye
@mattrospecs Yeah, there is a local vintage toy store here in town and they have a handful of the swampfires(which was a vehicle I was interested in getting) but everyone of em had their rotor blades broken off and missing! I was told that this one vehicle in particular is notorious for that problem....Im still on the lookout for a complete one, or at least one with the broken blades included, in case I can repair it myself.
I got the dreadnoks I need the vehicles love zarana I go the original and the bootleg indian one lol ..zartan is the best ever he still switches colors when I PUT HIM BY THE WINDOW AWESOME TOYS!!!
Swampfire, and thunder machine both truly rad vehicles & an awesome commercial, g.i.joe commercials were the best toy commercials of the 1980's by far, Zarana & Zandar are some of the coolest g.i.joe characters in the entire line. DREADNOKS!!!
I have the re-painted thunder machine....it was re-issued in the street fighter gi joe line....terrible line IMO, but great toy....
BTW, how weird was it that there was a Mortal Kombat line, and a Street Fighter line all done by hasbro using GI Joe molds..

I think it's funny how as a kid it never crossed my mind that Zandar might be gay. He's wearing a pink ascot for Christ's sake!
