Variations:

There are three card variations of Zartan, all dealing with the "Color Changing Face" Starburst - earliest versions came with the starburst printed on the card, later versions had none, while still later versions had the starburst applied as a sticker.

There is some debate as to whether or not there are variations of the head and neck, some reports claim there are figures with no color changing features, while others claim the head will change colors but not the neck. It is still unknown at this time whether these variations exist. The easiest way to tell is to place the figure in the freezer and see. If the figure is still carded, this feature will still work - place the carded figure in the freezer and see.

Body Construction:

Zartan (version thirteen) was created using all new parts.
