All Marauders Task Force Parts

I collected G.I.Joe from 1982 through 1984. I got everything. I was eyeball-deep in G.I.Joe during those years, but by 1985, I was out. I only got one item from 1985 - Dusty - and he was a birthday present.

Cut to...

2003, Spytroops. That's when I got back into G.I.Joe. I really like the Spytroops and Valor vs. Venom years. The gimmicks were really creative. One New Sculpt figure I was never able to collect was Zarana. I think the 2003 version was a solid step-up from the (admittedly much more iconic) 1986 version. The art on the 2003 file card was even better than the figure. I wish I could emulate the file card art, but the version I have here is the best I could do. The eye scar Zarana has on this custom was to cover up a paint defect on the face.
