What makes you think it's on the Netflix Punisher? It's probably the same body all the other Gomez figures have used.

I was referring to the costume. It's using the same vest (minus the skull), shirt, pants, and boots as the Netflix Punisher.

Ahh, I getcha.

Looks like the pre-order is going live tomorrow. No time specified

Out of all the versions, i still like the Hitman version best which is the one i have.
I do like that lunch box thou. maybe it pops up on ebay by itself...

Eh, I get why Mezco is pumping out these non Liscensed figures, I'm just not impressed anymore - they gave a very limited run on an excellent ninja, but then give us this basically kit bashed figure - passing myself, more for yous guys

Bo Ttef · 09-16-2019, 08:07 AM

I would probably be more inclined to grab a Gomez if he came with a basic "ninja" style human head or something.

Second this - not sure why he doesnt - would make total sense, you would have people buying for the ninja Roach, you would have people seeking multiples to fill out a villain need, especially for Marvel Peeps

If you have Diabolik just use that head. Or buy one off eBay. People are always selling individual Mezco parts

Yeah- that's always an option to BUY another part- but like I said- if it CAME with a standard human head I would be more inclined to buy Gomez- I don't have any interest in buying Gomez and more parts to make it a worthwhile figure. They sell through these things almost instantly- so I'm sure Mezco is fine with their formula- but for me. nah.

Alright buddy. Gomez ISN'T a human... so why would he come with a human head? If you want to kitbash and make your own ideas, you have to buy more parts to do so... or use parts you may already have.

Vamp · 09-16-2019, 12:48 PM

^^^
I agree with you, Mezco is selling a Roach not a human, that defeats the purpose.
plus if you wanna kitbash that would be up to the buyer not Mezco

SMH... yeas- what was I thinking making a statement about a toy. If he had a human head I would be more inclined to buy these guys... So terrible to discuss on a toy forum something about a toy that would make me more likely to buy it...

Bo Ttef · 09-16-2019, 03:40 PM

And speaking of Alternate Heads... Have we seen what Hal Jordan comes with yet? Thinking of dismantling DCUC Tomar Re for his head to go on the John Stewart Mezco body...

Anyone here know how to do the faceplate customization on the Sovereign Knight where you can switch out the faces in to the different cowls? Like put the scowling face on the long eared head sculpt?

Have not done it myself, but seems like you need to heat and remove faceplates, and then add small magnets to both sides - I have seen people do it in Facebook Mezco Forums

By remove, do you mean like with an Xacto knife?

might just be able to pick it off with a hot water soak- like hair on a Marvel Legends it's a separate piece from the rest of the head.

No, just by slowly putting pressure on it.

It does seem that simple, but I did not want to risk breaking the figure when I got it in hand. Thanks my friend.

batmann39 · 09-17-2019, 02:42 PM

I think I saw someone ask earlier, but does anyone know when Ghost Rider will be released? And any word on Ninja Gomez from Hong Kong? Haven’t been paying attention these past few weeks.

The last info on Ghost Rider was just 2020, no pre-order has gone up yet.

The Shadow Assassin Gomez is looking like it's going to stay as an exclusive to those particular events it was at. Ebay prices, last I checked, were sitting around $300-$400 but could and probably will go up higher over time due to the limited number produced.

That thing’s just fr*ggin’ gorgeous. I’ll have to watch a review of the John Stewart variant now. They have the same body sculpts, I’m assuming

snake5289 · 09-17-2019, 05:52 PM

I still hate the white boots.

Bo Ttef · 09-17-2019, 06:50 PM

the only thing I really don't dig about the GL is that there is no on/off switch for the lantern- it's all about getting the ring just-right on it. I would love to be able to just turn it on and leave it on for a bit.
