Ask Gyre.
Just kidding... they were cancelled. That's really all there is to it as far as I'm aware. Any further information... see above. |

Cobra mobile command center from roc Cobra Mobile Command Center - Pursuit of Cobra Vehicles G.I. Joe Pursuit of Cobra Viper 5 pack with mercer in viper gear Cobra Viper (TRU 5-Pack) 2009 - 25th / Modern Cobra Figures G.I. Joe 25th Anniversary / Modern The Viper 5 Pack was cancelled very late in the game (as seen, there were finished production samples leaked) due to Toys R Us backing out due to the impending release of the Rise of Cobra movie toyline. But keep in mind Mercer is just a Hawk head on a Viper body, the set features NO new tooling. In fact, IIRC, the Vipers were actually the first 25th tools, with the funky wrists and ankles.

The missile base was never slated for a release.
The cobra 5 pack got lost in the shuffle of ROC. When ROC came out Hasbro discontinued the 25th line in november 2008 also on this shit list was Night Force Falcon, Resolute Storm Shadow, TF Roadblock? a new BAT and Zap. Many of these figures ended up seeing the light of day in some fashion. Might be wrong about Roadblock I remember that being a idea.

Man that base is cool!
Think about it over 30 years we had only the TerrorDrome and cobra mountain for cobra bases? Not enough for sure. |

I actually hadn't seen that Cobra MCC before. I like it. Would have bought it if it came with those H.I.S.S. tanks (at a fair price point, not waiting for a sale...).

You can make your own Mercer from that set... just a 25th Gen. Hawk head on a Viper body...

I think now that we have a Mercer head from the 7 pack, and the greatest Viper mold ever made, ever, from PoC / 30th, that 5 pack should be revisited, and MASS distributed. I'd buy at least 4
