Summary
Gomez: The Roach with the Golden Head is notable for its 18-karat gold-plated head, making it unusually heavy and top-heavy compared to standard figures. It includes a wealth of detailed accessories such as a constructible sniper rifle, a boombox that converts into a weapons case, and a magnetically attached hoverboard. Packaged in a special lunchbox tin with a James Bond-style design, the figure combines a stylish, suited look with extensive, fun weaponry for dynamic display and play.
