G.I. Joe Classified Series

Sgt. Slaughter, like most wrasslin' personalities of his original era, seemed like a living cartoon to begin with. Him joining the Joe team seemed like an obvious fit
It's like when the Scooby gang met Batman. Nothing odd or off about that team-up. 100% logical.
 
The only thing I hated about Sarge in the Joe cartoon as a kid was how overpowered he was. It was like everyone else was an inept dunce compared to him. It reminds me of (wrestling talk incoming) how in the 2000s Triple H told everyone involved in those n64 Wrestling Games, "you are not allowed to show Triple H in a vulnerable position in any promotional material."

Back to the toys, that Sarge/Mercer pack is the kind of thing I could easily skip but it just looks too fun. Love that Mercer has an extra head to put on a Retro Cobra Viper.

If anyone remembers my Bayou Snake Eyes with the cowboy hat, I bought a soft goods jacket to try on him as well for a simple Arctic Snake Eyes look:

I might recommend one without the hood, as it's a bit oversized and will need time to flatten, but this fits great otherwise. I figure they will eventually make an Arctic Snake Eyes but it'll never be as good as one with a soft goods coat, if you're into such things.
