Consider it a one-off merchandising joke. We are nowhere NEAR popular enough to warrant action figures. I think we MIGHT be in sticker territory...
By all means, if you feel like "harassing" me (in the name of honest discourse), feel free. I've got my big boy pants on.

I would've been surprised if it weren't a joke, but a number of terrible questions came to mind: Who's the target market? Who and what else is in the play-set? What's the accessories list and can you change her costume? Designed anatomically-correct or smooth expanse-Barbie doll? What does the actress who plays Mercy think of the action-figure merchandising? How many of the action-figures exist in-universe for Mercy to find--and did she commission or make any of them herself?
These are terrible questions nobody really needs the answers to, and may contain spoilers. :)

The configuration of knucks varies with: A) the amount of damage you wish to do. B) the difficulty of storing/hiding them on your person, and C) local laws. I've seen a variety of designs from the smooth front you mentioned to one-inch spikes.
I even saw one set that looked like claws, but I think the maker was just showing off, since they didn't look all that practical.
I'd think the guy she hit would more probably have his eyes closed as he winced from the impact, but I can't fault the spray of blood. :)

I'll defer to your obvious greater knowledge on the subject of brass knuckles. I must confess I don't understand why you'd want ones that feature an irregular surface that aren't outright punch-daggers or tasers or something. Weapons getting caught by an opponent is a terrible risk, I'd want less that an opponent can potentially catch or snag with fabric or other improvised defenses.
Also, if the guy's eyes didn't close when the flash hit--or after--wouldn't he have been too blinded to reflexively close his eyes before the fist hit? Plus, if it's a crosswise hit to the jaw the reflex might not trigger very quickly.

@anonymous coward: Heh, I've never USED knucks, and I've never be hit by any, but I HAVE been hit, both by boxing gloves and fists, and I absolutely guarantee that your eyes will close when you wince. It might not be for long (in fact it better NOT be), but they will close. It doesn't matter whether you can see at the time or not. :)

Sophie is the traitor. She calles attention to Nestor's operation so shodow light call no Mercy. Mercy draws the attention of the Shroud. So now we are going to have the Shodow light going agenst the Shroud leaving Stary wisdom more free to work on there plans!

(How's it look? Action scenes are something I don't often do.)
Looks like she may be in some trouble, though...
