This past Saturday, Mezco Toyz held a kick-off event at the start of Toy Fair 2019, inviting media to their booth to show off all their new goods.  After we did our coverage thing, Mezco graced us with a goodie bag that included not one but two Toy Fair 2019 exclusive figures.  The One:12 Blade Toy Fair edition was the first (gallery coming soon), and second was the Agent Edition of their mascot Gomez.  You probably recognize the profile of the head from their logo, and now he’s a full fledged One:12 action figure.  The Agent Edition naming, along with instructions inside that references items not in this version implies he will be getting a mass release in different configuration later on.

We’ve run him through a quick photo shoot on our first day back from Toy Fair, so read on to check it out!
