Sideshow Gives Fans a Sneak Peek of Zartan!

Saturday, February 20th, 2010

Sideshow Collectibles posted a nice little sneak peek of their upcoming 12″ Zartan figure during the “Ask Sideshow” Q&A session. Though he’s not the next Cobra figure in their line-up, Sideshow is excited about this one and certainly hopes fans will appreciate the hard work going into him. So in the meantime, enjoy this little “tease” from Sideshow.

Yes, Zartan is in development, but he won’t be the next Cobra that you see announced. At this stage, we’ve completed some of Zartan’s elements (see below for a sneak peek), and we’re working on a few new and important body/armor elements that will be integral to Zartan and a few others. He’s a complex figure, and we’ll need a little more time before he’s ready to debut.
