Mezco Toyz Gomez (Mezco Mascot) Action Figure

There's been much speculation who and what is Mezco Toyz' mascot, but now's the time for these and other questions to be answered. Meet Gomez, a sole secret agent of a mysterious organization known as "The Void". This syndicate operates in secrecy and goes unnoticed by the world around it. Gomez takes the form of a roach and is always prepared to take on any mission at any given time. The interesting part of it all is that he receives his secret instructions by a combination of a subliminal broadcast from his Boombox, along with his favorite beverage, Black Martinis. Known as the "cocktail exchange", the message is transmitted and deciphered by his antennas. Now that's what I call a secret agent! Gomez will come fully dressed in his custom tailored suit and tie along with a Boom Box, a black martini, an atomic pea shooter (ray gun), and a zip sword made of the ultra rare Magmezium. Featuring over 40 points of articulation, he stands a whopping 9" in height. Limited to only 500 pieces, be sure to try your best locating this lady lover before he heads off on his next mission!
