Unboxing: Culture Fly Captain Marvel Box

I came across a Culture Fly Target exclusive Captain Marvel box at my local Grocery Outlet. At $4.99, I couldn't pass up the chance to pick one up. The box originally retailed for $24.99 in Target stores. The box contains six different items, making them under a dollar a piece at the $4.99 price point! If you've got a Grocery Outlet in your area, you may want to try and snag one for yourself if you like what's inside.

I'm going to be honest, the best thing about the box is the actual box itself. It's a solid, vibrant looking box with a clean design. That probably sounds crazy, but I found the quality of the items in the box hit or miss in quality. Overall, for what I paid, I'm not complaining; for the original price point, I'd be pretty disappointed.

First in the box was a Captain Marvel hat. The hat design isn't bad, featuring the Captain Marvel logo. Unfortunately the quality of the hat leaves a lot to be desired. It's thin and pretty cheaply made. It'll make a good hat to wear while doing yard work, but definitely disappointing.

Second up in the box was a Captain Marvel coin bank. The bank is small, but it'll definitely get some use in this house. The bank is in the shape of the Captain Marvel logo and is made of plastic. This was my favorite piece in the box.

Next up was a set of Captain Marvel patches. The first patch is a round Captain Marvel Logo; simple and perfect. The second patch is the words Captain Marvel in white with stars in place of the "A's" on a square black background. The last patch is another Captain Marvel logo. This one is a bit more stylized and has the words, "Captain Marvel" under the logo. It's the same design as the bank that's included in the box.

The next item was a Captain Marvel squishy. It's in the shape of the Captain Marvel logo. I don't understand the appeal of squishy's. This is the biggest miss in the box.

Next up was a set of Captain Marvel vinyl decals. The first decal features Goose the Flerken. Goose the cat was a breakout character in the film, so it was nice having something of the character included in the box. The second decal was of Captain Marvel herself.

The final item in the box was a Captain Marvel fanny pack. Like the hat, this is cheaply made. It's stiff and not that nice looking. It features what looks to be a heat pressed iron on of Captain Marvel's silhouette in flight. I'm not sure about other boxes, but this one seems to be poorly placed; it's a bit crooked. It also has air bubbles on it where it seems to have been attached poorly.

Overall, it's a disappointing box for the original price. At $4.99, I'd say it's a great deal, though not worth getting above that price. I'll definitely get use out of the bank and hat, but beyond that, the rest will be going to another Captain Marvel fan.
