Mercer's imagination is starting to run wild.

Mercer has always demonstrated an interesting imagination. Here he is with his prized collection of Imaginext toys. With these (robots, aliens, superheroes, vehicles, etc.), Mercer creates settings, dialogue, action, and incorporates all of his surroundings to generate some pretty impressive play sessions. He uses different voices when acting with the little action figures and even incorporates outside toys (Matchbox cars, blocks) into his worlds. It's good fun to watch but whenever we're invited to play along or try to insert ourselves into his play sessions, we wind up doing something totally wrong, like press a wrong button on a robot or capture a bad guy who is really a good guy. I'm afraid that by the time we've figured out the rules, Mercer will be on to something more interesting.
