Description
Character: Zartan
Series: GI Joe Sideshow Collectables version
Costumer: Jamie Baer
Costume by: Jamie Baer, CrossEyed Props

This was an old project I had the pleasure to work on with a really neat story to follow this. Our friend asked us if we could help him with his Zartan costume. He used the snake eyes armor that we had molded as his base for his Zartan chest and back and we helped to mold the skull belt buckle.

Here comes the cool part of the story. First day of SDCC he walks to the Sideshow Collectables booth and asks if they have the Zartan figure cause he wanted to see it and compare. They told him no they didn't have it with them at the booth. Next day he's back in his Zartan and walks by the booth again. They flag him down and the conversation goes
Booth guy: "Hey do you collect our products?"
Zartan: "No I can't afford it. I would love to though"
Booth guy: "Okay well how about we sold it to you at a really good price?"
Zartan: "Well alright then. What's your price?"
Booth guy: "How about 0 dollars?"
Zartan: *staring at guy in disbelief* "Wait what? Did I just hear that right?"
Booth guy: "Yeah we're giving this to you. It's yours for free."

Yeah that's right he got it for free. Also if you're not familiar with Sideshow Collectables this Zartan sells for retail for about $120 to $130 bucks. But if you remember they said they didn't have it the day before. Well it turns out someone actually went back and got it just for my friend to give it to him. They liked his costume that much they gave it to him. As a prop and costume builder I'm felt so honored to have had a part in making that happen and to have our work recognized like that.
