G.I. Joe Classified Series #173, Sgt Slaughter & Felix “Mercer” Stratton

G.I. Joe is a highly skilled, on-demand, special operations force of men and women from around the globe tasked with defending the world from Cobra, a ruthless criminal organization bent on total domination. Wherever there’s trouble, G.I. Joe is there.

New to the G.I. Joe Classified Series line, Sgt Slaughter & Felix “Mercer” Stratton comes ready for adventure, with multiple points of articulation for high poseability. This Sgt Slaughter & Felix “Mercer” Stratton deluxe figure set is bursting with 26 character-inspired accessory pieces. Sgt Slaughter includes alternate head, 3 alt hands, utility cover, beret, baton, knife, and weapons accessories; plus his signature sunglasses, whistle, and iconic campaign cover.

Sgt Slaughter puts his drill-instructor skills to the test whipping former-Cobra Viper Mercer and the other Renegades into shape with Slaughterhouse-style training.

It’s awesome to see the Renegades being brought into the Classified line. It’s also neat to see a convention exclusive version of Slaughter being used here instead of his Warthog version.

There’s a lot of angst in the community noting that Mercer isn’t big enough. Folks need to remember that in the original line & cartoon, Mercer wasn’t a hulk. The most recent version of Mercer in the comics, on the other hand, is a different story. I personally prefer this version more.

What say you? Excited to add this set to your collection or skipping it all together?
