Unboxing March's Loot Crate: Versus

Loot Crate tied their March theme into two EPIC face-off's with "Versus." With the release of the second season of Netflix's Daredevil (which features The Punisher) and the Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice movie, it was a no-brainer that we'd get items based on those properties. We also got swag that featured Harley Quinn, Alien vs. Predator, and Star Trek. I know I keep saying this, but this month's box was better than the last. The improvements Loot Crate made at the beginning of the year put them leaps and bounds ahead of other subscription boxes.

The box was full of exclusives like the awesome Batman v Superman Mighty Wallet. This wallet, which is made of Tyvek, is expandable, durable, and is worth just over half the price of the crate itself. The images come straight from the movie posters which feature Henry Cavill and Ben Affleck. Last year, Loot Crate gave us a Simpson's version and I loved it, so getting another one was welcome.

Also in the crate was an exclusive Marvel beanie featuring Daredevil and the Punisher. The cool thing about this beanie is that it's reversible. One side is red and features Daredevil's "DD" logo. The other side is black and and sports the Punisher's skull logo. This was the coolest item in the box by a long shot. Also in the box were an exclusive Harley Quinn #1 comic and a Star Trek "Mirror, Mirror" T-Shirt featuring the art of Juan Ortiz.

Lastly the box contained not one, not two, but THREE Alien vs. Predator items. The first was an epic AvP pin. This thing is beautiful and is definitely going on the jacket. Next was a free rental to stream either the Aliens or Predator movie on the VUDU app. Finally was an exclusive Alien vs Predator blind box which featured one of two figures 4.5" figures. I received the Alien xenomorph with a "special glow-in-the-dark deco on its despicable dome." It's a very cool figure, but being a bigger Predator fan, I wish I'd have gotten it instead. Still, it's a minor quibble over an otherwise perfect box!

Breakfast Club/Marvel Funko POP! Customs

It started out when I was looking at Bender and Thor Funko POP!'s sitting next to each other on a shelf. I thought to myself, "These two guys have major daddy issues in their movies." From there, I thought, "I NEED to do a Marvel/Breakfast Club mash-up!" I picked them up and went to work on customizing them. I really dug the way they turned out, so I went back to the store and picked up Daredevil and Richard Vernon because I really wanted to see those two mashed-up. 

Then, I thought about what other characters would go well together. Going back and watching the movie over I decided Cap, Scarlet Witch, Spidey, and Black Widow were going to be the ones that I was going to use to complete the set. I had to order the rest of the figures, but once they came in, it only took a bit over two hours to complete them. I really dug the way they turned out. People on Instagram and Twitter seemed to really dig them and the official Netflix Daredevil Twitter account retweeted my picture which resulted in getting offers to do sets for others. After all this, I've been thinking about a possible Star Wars/Disney Mash-up. Maybe an Ariel/Leia mash-up?
