Figured I’d dabble in the Slaughter Marauders, starting with my favorite character out of the bunch, Mercer.
His story is everything, so I wanted to capture the essence behind it while adding a layered update with touches of homages. I wanted him to have a worn dirty look, biker/ Merc / Cobra Viper , more tats, a few jewelry accessories and thanks to tanker Ax a nice updated color to the 1987 version- switching from orange to red. Just a fun project and one I consider a top shelf collectible: Untitled by Slice's Customs, on Flickr Untitled by Slice's Customs, on Flickr Untitled by Slice's Customs, on Flickr Untitled by Slice's Customs, on Flickr Untitled by Slice's Customs, on Flickr

Very nice. Also appreciate the continuity between this and your 4" version using the same head

Ah, perfecto!
I do much prefer the red to the original orange. I mean, hell, he was a Cobra. How much more of a lay-up was that for Hasbro to have him in red and blue? I love the load-out for him, too. So interesting to see all the bits of silver throughout. And I think the color gradation on the arm pad and left glove is so cool. I like the tats and bling. Is it crazy to say that I get an Adam Ant vibe from him ?

Appreciate you my friend.
Thanks Mr Hebime. Thanks for the recommendation of making the vest red instead of orange. I think that solidified the entire concept I was going for .

Excellent take! I always thought Mercer was cool and bad-ass. Really like what you've done here with yours

Awesome Mercer! One of your best! It'll be hard to surpass Darklon, though... that figure is a masterpiece.
