Heads up, alot of Mer-man wank incoming. As part of my King Mer-man head canon (merman becomes a heroic warrior following the horde invasion and subsequent defeat), I came up with some characters to further populate his corner of Eternia with. I decided to make these as a means of embodying his former villainy. They're rogues from Merman's past. Tai-Phoon retains a deepseated hate boner for Merman because he inherited the crown instead of him. Toy wise, he recycles most of his parts from Jitsu and Clawful. He'd be clownfish themed to a degree, as his body would be orange with white tigerstripes decorating his arms and legs.
As for Sky-Tide, he recycles Sy-Clone's body. Initially I intended him to reuse Clawful's legs, but I later drew him with Skeletor legs instead. He's kind of a chimera of various marine predators. Eels, sharks, and Stingrays mostly. Think of him as a flying sea vampire with electric sting powers. Since he recycles Sy-Clone's torso, I decided that it would instead feature a lenticular sticker of a gnashing shark like mouth. Color wise, Sky-Tide is red and white with some yellow accents for his trunks and gloves.
