Flint and Zartan Sittin’ in a Tree
 |
?Okay. Well, they’re lurking near and walking next to, but still, they’re K-I-L-L-I-N-G. Oh, I don’t really have much to say about this statue of G.I. Joe’s Flint and Zartan from Sideshow Collectibles, other than 1) if you buy the Sideshow exclusive version you get a whole ‘nother Zartan, camouflaged like the tree, to swap in, and 2) you can’t but the Sideshow exclusive version or the regular version, because this thing sold out pretty much immediately after Sideshow listed it for pre-order. It’s still pretty groovy, though, so I figured you’d want to see it even if you can’t own it. There are more pics over at ToyNewsI if you’re interested.
