Got an extra Zartan and decided to do something different...
Kept his chest and lower torso, head.
Removed the hood and added his mohawk made from
a misc piece of rubber DCUC Superman cape.

Legs were from my parts box... I think they were
from a Mars Trooper ?

Arms were taken from a BnB figure.
Vest from a Pit Commando.

Then I read how the original figure had some kind of
"snap punch" feature ala' He-Man... ie you turn him
at the waist and he can snap back into place (and if
his arm is outstretched, that's the "punch").

So....

Before I sealed up his chest, I tried putting a rubber
band in place to get me the action-feature:

This didn't quite work as well as I expected... the band
snapped and I had a gluey mess and had to start over
with new arms.

Then I just decided to seal it up. Turns out that the
rubber band bits that were left were enough to form
a "cushion" between the upper and lower torso bits...
and enable the snap feature!

Unlike the original it still retains playability regardless of the play feature. Yours is an addition instead of a detriment. Great idea. I'm going to have to try that at some point just because it is cool and looks easy. Thank you.

Excellent rendition of the Ninja Force Zartan. Much better than the original.

I liked the "sleeveless leather jacket" look better, but I really love the action feature!

See, I like the figure without the action feature. ;-) Looks great.
