I'll let you know tomorrow I am not going to be able to compare it tonight.

Can you share UPC of Zartan?

Here's a quick side-by-side shot. Definitely prefer the retro colours but that is because they are closer to the toon look. The reality is that Super7's Ultimates version is the best toon version to date from the looks of it.

Also here is the UPC.

Thanks bro! Much appreciated! Yeah, the retro does look better. Looks like his skin tone is more normal too? (never liked the pallid look of the mainline release).

Thanks for the UPC. Hope I do find him here in BC.

No they are not.


Retro is a more pinkish skin tone, and regular Classified is a more beige skin tone. I would say the regular version is the more realistic looking skin tone. The retro one looks a bit cartoonish, which I guess makes sense since it is supposed to be more cartoon colours.
