Unboxing May's Loot Crate and Loot Wear: Guardians

May officially kicks off the summer movie season. This year it was launched by Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy with all the hype that comes from a hugely successful franchise. To celebrate the release, Loot Crate brought together their favorite guardians from comics, movies, cartoons, and video games! Franchises in this month's box were Guardians of the Galaxy, Star Wars, Destiny, Avatar: The Last Airbender, and The Goonies.

The first item in the box was possibly the BEST figure Looter's have ever received in their regular crate: Rocket and Baby Groot. This Q-Fig features Rocket Raccoon, guns blazing, with Baby Groot atop his head. If that wasn't enough, there are digital copies of Rocket Raccoon #1 and Groot #1 included!

This month's shirt and pin come from some much-loved movies and cartoons. The tee, a Loot Crate exclusive, is from the classic film The Goonies. It features the skull/swords logo and the group's motto: "Never Say Die." Definitely a keeper. This month's exclusive pin is very, very cool AND is a Loot Crate first. It features Avatar's Aang and it glows in the dark!

The last two items in the box come from Star Wars and Destiny. Looter's received a Star Wars coloring book. The book contains "30 images to inspire creativity" and also came with color pencils. Finally, the last item in the box were three Destiny patches you can iron or sew onto your favorite bag or jacket. If you decide not to attach them to anything, you also have the option of displaying them "in special packaging suitable for framing."

When Loot Crate announced this month's wearable was a Wash shirt from Firefly, I didn't hesitate ordering it. Man, am I glad that I did! The shirt is perfect for fans, like me, of the Serenity's pilot. Bonus: my cousin's baby shower is Hawaiian-themed, so one guess which shirt I'll be wearing.

Bungie and McFarlane Toys Partner For Destiny Figures

In a collaboration of legendary proportions, McFarlane Toys is proud to announce that it is once again partnering with Bungie this time to create Guardian action figures for Destiny, scheduled for release this summer.  

Developed by Bungie and published by Activision, Destiny is a first-person action shooter that features cinematics storytelling alongside cooperative and competitive gameplay. Players create a unique character and become legend through completing a series of shared activities in a social world. Destiny has entertained a legion of engaged players across more than 30 million unique accounts since its initial release in September 2014.  

Best known for attention to detail and immense creativity, McFarlane Toys has produced action figures and construction sets for some of the biggest properties in the entertainment industry for over 20 years. This upcoming partnership with the creators of Destiny will not only continue that tradition but expand on it. Fans of the emerging action franchise can look forward to a new selection of game-accurate action figures, 10-inch figures, and role play items.  

McFarlane Toys' initial wave of Destiny toys will include fully articulated figures that depict Guardian Classes, including the Titan, Hunter, and Warlock. These figures will debut in new window box collector packaging and will come with a Destiny branded detailed base.  

"Detail, depth, and customization, that's what Destiny gives its players, and that's what made it the biggest new video game franchise launch" said Todd McFarlane, Owner and CEO of McFarlane Toys. "With our upcoming Destiny line, fans can expect that same amount of detail and customization that we have built our own reputation on."  

McFarlane Toys'™ Destiny figures will be available at major retailers this July carrying an MSRP: $19.99.
