HMM never really thought of his disguise in relation to Zartain, although his disguise was much better than most from spytroops (which often turned my stomach and was the reason I did the Spy Troops Halloweeny special all those years ago, gratuitus link
http://www.zedsjoesite.com/diostory/Com ... allo1.html Wow that has been forever and a day).
I agree, that's because the designers invented a disguise for him. The flaws were more notorious in the others because they were trying to disguise as well-known characters. Barrel Roll also looks kinda okay in his disguise because they invented it for the toyline, but then they should have released a kind of
troop with these looks at the same time (in fact, designing new troops at the same time as the disguises would have worked better than snapping two pieces of well-known costumes and calling it a day). Burnout, on the other hand, was disguised as a MP, not a Joe, so he didn't needed a figure to be shown along.
I had never noticed the Kraven similitude, wow! I guess "Gnaw" might hang with Wheelie (

. Now for the memories: I met Gnawgahyde in TV, where he was shown more as a
member than a Dreadnok, and several years later I bought him. My bro thought he was a 'Nok and I said him he wasn't, and then, some time later, I found he, in fact, was!
Dammit, I want to tell something about Thanos but what hasn't been told yet?
Zanya is my main reason to try to find the Dreadnoks pack, but I must admit you're right, she was just another Dreadnok, yet she was given an artificial importance due to her parentage. That's why the toy-less Heartwrencher also has a special place: She's the first female 'Nok who isn't
's relative, thus she does little stuff in the background, but it doesn't matter as she is clearly just one more of the bunch. I guess Zanya was an attempt to make a counterpart for Kamakura?
I'd say quite the contrary about Loki, the film minimized him as he became a pawn of the Skrulls. It's as if he was in the movie due to a sort of contractual obligation to have him as the first villain the Avengers face (like in the classic origin and Heroes Reborn).
In my case, the whole Night Force discussion about the
doesn't matter, as I keep my Python
alongside his red fellows, so I'd keep the black
with the other
troops regardless.
I remember thinking that disguised Lando was trying to disguise as a Gamorrean, even though I didn't find any similitude, so my reaction was pretty similar to your thoughts about the SpyTroops. Of course, currently I understand he could be disguised as one of the assorted criminals there.
figure is the one from the comic pack with 
, I'm still happy to see that the toyline stopped from limiting itself to the original looks, as the latter ones also have their fans. Speaking of which, that scuba gear would have been better for a release of the diver version of
