Unboxing August's Loot Crate: Kingdom

August's Loot Crate theme, Kingdom, brings together some 

of our favorites. Adventure Time, Lord of the Rings, and The Legend of Zelda are all featured in the crate. With only three franchises in the spotlight, I think it was a bit of a missed opportunity to exclude Game of Thrones; probably one of the biggest shows out right now. Despite that, this was actually a pretty solid box. 

First up was the monthly Loot Crate button. This past month's was an original design by LC and was a "Kingdom Crest Pin." It featured the Loot Crate logo, battle axes, and what looks to be a boar's head.

Next we got two items from Lord of the Rings. The first was an exclusive 8x10 LOTR art print from artist Matt Ferguson and Bottleneck Gallery. The print features Merry and Pippin standing atop Treebeard as they approach the tower of Isengard. The picture below does not do this print justice; this is an awesome piece that deserves to be framed.

The second LOTR item was an exclusive color changing glass. Based on the "One Ring," this gold colored glass features the Tengwar Elvish runes. When filled with cold liquid, the runes turn red. I have to admit that when I opened the crate and saw the box, I was kind of disappointed, thinking, "Meh, a glass." But once I opened it, I was thoroughly impressed as this is one awesome drinking glass.

The shirt included in August's crate was nothing short of epic! Fans of the classic NES game, The Legend of Zelda were treated to an exclusive tee featuring the tireless hero, Link, in 8-bit map form. This tee celebrates over 30 years of Zelda, Link, and Hyrule all in one clever design!

The final item in the box comes from one of my favorite franchises, Adventure Time. Looters received an amazing AT "Nice King" and Gunter figure. The figure features the Ice King, sitting upon his throne with Gunter and his penguin guards.
