When Mer-Man was translated to the Classics series, the design selected was from the art featured on the vintage toy packaging. This is quite different than the actual toy we played with as children, and I feel that in time there should be a place for this arguably more memorable design in the line before it ends. There are several key differences:
* More vibrant orange color in his face.
* Orange loincloth.
* Scaled skin-colored shins (same used by Dragon Blaster Skeletor).
* Scaled skin-colored forearms and hands (same used by Dragon Blaster Skeletor).
* Toy-accurate chest armor with different colors, secondary straps wrapping around his stomach, no spikes, more accurate fins on his shoulders and belly button.
* Toy-accurate sword complete with guard over hand.
* No detailed neck piece (this was also specific to the card art).

Alternatively, we could receive Mer-Man's Filmation head as well as cartoon accurate armor with a swappable gem at the bottom so you can add the toy accurate fins to it.
