Mercer (v2) is just plain cool. He has a simple, memorable and unique backstory. A viper who betrayed Cobra and became a joe.
His story can also be told visually just by looking at his figure. There's no need for additional media to understand who he is. Almost no new tooling is needed. Use the Viper buck and accessories, sculpt a new head and reuse Outback's arms for a bare-armed/short sleeved look. Add a Tampo to his bare arm of a tattoo of cobra with a "no" circle crossing it out. If you want to go above and beyond, give him a shoulder-fired missile launcher as an accessory. |

uh oh....It starts.
I would like to see Ninja Force as a group pack. However, that would be insanely expensive so it would be cool to see Nunchuk and a Slice and Dice.

I'd start with a Renegades three-pack.

Good idea but definitely needs to be version 1.

Mercer was such a cool character. So much potential for interesting stories, I never understood why he never appeared in the comics. Maybe guilty by association with Cobra-La? Shame.

I liked all of them and support this idea. I never had v1 Mercer though. I had v2 and loved that as a kid with his metallic arm.
