I’ve been on board with the One:12’s since the beginning but, I don’t have any of the Gomez figures. While the bodies and accessories are cool, I’m just not into the giant insect heads. Humanoid insects just don’t fit into my collection. So I’ve passed on those. I also took a pass on the Pink Skulls Society. Honestly they felt like a lazy cash grab. They put pink skulls on Gomez bodies and added some accessories. They made them available as a 3 pack only. People ended up spending $225 for 3 identical figures. So I passed on those. Which brings us to Baron Bends. Now this is more like what I expect from a One:12 figure. Whereas the Pink Skulls seemed like a way for Mezco to get rid extra stock, Baron Bends is completely new. It looks like some thought was put into him. That’s why I pulled the trigger this morning and ordered one. It’s the first figure in the Gomez line I’ve picked up. I liked the figure and all the accessories but what put this figure over the top for me was the Cthulhu/ Predator head. The figure also comes with a t-shirt and some other stuff to help justify the $112 price. After watching a review for Baron Bends online I’m really looking forward to adding him to my collection.
