Does anyone know what the hell happened to this? They released pictures then it just all disappeared. I cant find it anywhere, did they cancel it?

It got canceled, never to see the light of day, at least not in that form.

Thanks, I guess I can just stick a General Hawk head on a Viper if I really want one.

But yeah, it was canned but I believe Hasbro mentioned in one of the Q and As that Mercer might yet come out.

25th viper helmets are very easy to hollow out even if you only have an xacto knife. i made my squad leader this way, it's not a mercer but a hawk head does fit in there.

In one of the Q&As way back, Hasbro stated that the Viper multipack was cancelled because they figured there were enough Vipers already out there. and they were right.
Viper body + Hawk head = Mercer(It was probably a swappable head, not a removable helmet) Viper + gold paint = Viper Officer It really was an unnecessary set and I'm glad it's not collecting dust at TRU with the others. |
