Tribble and Targ Present: GEEK: July 2014

So, this week I got my very first Loot Crate. If you don't know what Loot Crate is, I will tell you. So basically, you spend about $50 for 3 months of awesomeness. It is a subscription based company where every month you get a box in the mail filled with geeky things. Sometimes its comics, sometimes shirts, sometimes toys. You can buy one month for about $20, Three months for about $55, or six months for about $105. I got the 3 month plan. so for the next 3 months, I will be posting reviews for Loot Crate.

Here is the link for the site: https://www.lootcrate.com/

So here is my story:

I was on Facebook when I glanced to the ads. I never really look at the ads, but one caught my eye. it was a picture of the metal arm of the winter soldier, with the caption (haha CAPtion) "This month's theme: Villains!". You all know how much I love my villains! so I clicked it. I looked on the site, and found a few reviews online, and decided I would try it for a few months. So I signed up, and waited patiently... ok not so patiently... for my box. Then, finally, I got an email saying it was coming. Monday when I pulled up to the house, there was the mailman with my box, but he was across the street. It was the longest 10 minutes of my life lol. finally my box was here. Like I said, the theme was Villains. Here is the box pre-opening:

You don't even know how excited I was to get this. Even as a kid, I loved grab bags. Even if the stuff in it was junk. it is the mystery for me.
So I opened the box. I have to say, the packing is awesome. everything fits awesomely. I only mention this, because I LOVE packing. The only way t get me to clean my room as a kid was to pretend I was moving, so that I could "pack" all of my stuff.

It looks like Joker took over my box! So the first thing I wanted to look at was the shirt. This was the whole reason I got the box really. That and the toys I saw in other boxes. The shirt is awesome! it is the Joker dressed as Loki. You know how I love Loki.

Under the shirt was a pair of Deadpool socks. He's a lot of fun, and the socks are cute. they are long socks which I don't usually wear, but in the cooler weather I think they will be good.

Next were a few small things: a Darth Vader key chain, a Bowser magnet, and a Loot Crate pin. Darth is a little big for a key chain, but I like him anyway. The magnet is fun. and of course the monthly button is tradition.

Also in the box, two posters; one of Joker, and one of Harley Quinn. The Joker one is really cool. they are about the size of a notebook, so I guess if you are in school you could cover one with the poster. I don't know what I will do with them. I cant see myself hanging them, but maybe I will put them in my kitchen, as there is no art in there now.

There was also a DVD documentary on Supervillains of DC. I am excited to watch it, as I am more of a Marvel kinda gal than a DC one, so maybe it will give me a push in that direction.

There was also the monthly Newsletter, a picture of which I add just for kicks. it had an interview with a comic artist in it which was interesting.

Finally, there was a special Loot crate cover edition of Rocket Racoon #1. I have never really been a comic reader (other than Archie and Kill Shakespeare), but I reallt cant wait to read this. especially as Diane and I are going to go see Gardians of the Galaxy soon.
