Loot Crate June 2016 "Dystopia" Unboxing, plus this month's Pop in a Box.

Loot Crate actually arrived fairly early this month (although I started this post and forgot about it, so I'm posting late), so here it is!

It's the first time I've documented a blind Loot Crate unboxing, I've usually opened it with the wife and then gone back to it later to talk about the contents. Get it in your eyes and ears boys and girls.

Not a bad box really, I still can't get over that T-Shirt, I love it. Made myself promise to wait until I go on Holiday in September before I wear it, but after that I'm living in it. Providing it doesn't immediately shrink like the Bill and Ted shirt did.

Here's the T2 print thing on my newly christened Terminator shelf, with the VHS box set I mentioned in the video, and the rubber Genisys skull from a previous Crate:

And here's the Fallout Dorbz, along with the other two that my wife received from Pop in a Box this month purely by coincidence, in our miniature living room Fallout shrine. I'm waiting to see what comes from Pop in a Box this month, and if it's not the other two Fallout guys (the male Vault Dweller and a Super Mutant), I'm just gonna buy them.

Pop in a Box Unboxing - August 2015

Over the last year, the popularity of Subscription Boxes has exploded, thanks to industry forerunners Loot Crate and Nerd Block. I've been a Looter for over a year now, and as such I haven't really been interested in subscribing to any more, despite being briefly interested in Nerd Block's themed boxes.

But when a colleague of mine introduced me to Pop in a Box, I was immediately intrigued. Unlike most Boxes, which are filled with an assortment of random items, some themed, some not, Pop in a Box provide you simply with Funko products, chiefly their awesome and charming Pop! Vinyl series, a collection of chibi-styled cutesy statues of pop-culture characters, but also including their other vinyl statues and bobbleheads, their Mystery Minis and ReAction Figures, 80's style action figures of contemporary franchises like Firefly and Aliens.

You simply choose however many you want to receive a month (We've gone with two), with the price adjusting accordingly, and they send you a selection, usually with a Pop themed freebie, such as popping candy and the like. And to sweeten the deal, their website holds a database of every Funko product, for you to check off the ones you have, want or don't want, ensuring they never send you anything you don't like.

The months aren't themed, but you'll often find that the ones you receive 'go together'. For instance, our first month, April's Pops were Data and Geordi LaForge from Star Trek: The Next Generation, May's were Marvel's Vision and DC's Bizarro, June's were Thor and Iron Man from the new Avengers: Age of Ultron set and July's were Thrillkiller Batman and a Harley Quinn variant previously exclusive to a USA only retailer. This month's?

A pair of matching Batm... mans... men... people... from the Batman 75th Anniversary range exclusively from EntertainmentEarth.com. I'm pretty over the moon with this, as I'm a huge Batman enthusiast and a firm fan of the blue-cape look in action figures.

For those interested in subscribing, please check out Pop in a Box. I've yet to be disappointed.
