Yeah, I don't get the appeal either but then again I don't much care for Mezco either way.
I picked one up. He'll make for a nice Peter Parker custom.I saw a lot of people saying they'd pass on this one until they found out it was more limited than the last Gomez and John Wick exclusives, then they changed their minds. lolI can't stand hype beasts.
Gomez, sole operating agent of The Void, comes outfitted in a striped shirt, removable army jacket that is customizable with an included set of cloth stickers, and jeans. Hes prepared to navigate any concrete jungle with his high-tech hoverboard, which magnetically attaches to his feet. Gomez is also equipped with a backpack with adjustable straps and hook-and-loop closure, and a removable windbreaker with functional zipper and drawstring hood.The insecta-sapien of mystery comes complete with an impressive arsenal consisting of a takedown construct-rifle that forms several weapons and conceals neatly in his boom box sidekick, Boom Boom. Also included are his trusty Cosmic Pea-Shooter - a small blaster pistol with a big kick, the Zip-Sword with sheath and adjustable cross-body strap, two Doom Cocktail grenades, and tons of more accessories.Gomez is always prepared for any inter-dimensional mission and receives instructions via a combination of subliminal broadcasts and interfacing with his boom box, Boom Boom.

I dont get the appeal, in part its less about the figure and more about the perceived rarity of it. I wouldnt be surprised if this one has the same appeal. Im sorry, I dont care if they only made 3 of them that sky rocket in price on eBay, its a pretty dumb figure IMO.
Well this is one SDCC Exclusive Ill be skipping. I know people went crazy for a similar figure given out at NYTF but I cant see them getting that level of fan fare frenzy on this mascot asecond time.
Im interested to see what else Mezco is bringing to the show. Last year at SDCC the Mezco line was TERRIBLE! The line was constantly at capacity and it took forever to try to just get into the line. Last year I failed to get in that Mezco line on Preview Night (although to be fair once I saw how bad it was I decided to just go and try to cross most of the other booths off my list and come back to Mezco on Thursday). Thursday I finally did get in their line but that still took a couple of hoursalthough it was a good thing I did because I think they completely sold out of everything for the show by the end of that day.
So well see what else Mezco is bringing this time but honestly Id be fine if this year I could just skip their line all together. If I were to skip the Mezco line this year it would be the first SDCC in over a decade where I didnt buy anything at their booth.
Cool figure, however not my style. I really hope this time they don't make that figure we want the sot as a SDCC exclusive. I am still pissed about Batman Beyond and Tigerstripe Wolverine.
Looks like a good figure. I can't tell if the jackets are different or the lighting makes it look green in a picture
