Unboxing January’s Crate: Discover

This month’s Loot Crate theme, Discover, brought together some big franchises. Harry Potter, Westworld, X-Files, and Rick and Morty were packed into the latest crate. Lately the crates have been pretty hit or miss for myself and most fans of LC. For this one, as much as I’m a fan of the franchises, this crate was a miss and has me questioning whether or not I should continue with my subscription.

This month’s shirt featured an awesome Rick and Morty design. As much as I dug it, I’m not a fan of white T-shirts. But beyond that, it’s a great shirt that stands toe-to-toe with any fans can pick up at any big box store.

Next in the crate were two Westworld exclusives. The first item was the second LC SuperEmoScenes Diorama. These are pretty fun if you’re a fan of the JSalvador line of SuperEmoFriends prints. These dioramas bring those to life in a fun way. The second item was a Westworld Maze pin. Always a big fan of the Loot Crate pins.

Up next was a pair of exclusive Harry Potter socks. Loot Crates loves to add socks to their crates, which has led to my sock addiction. This pair of socks features the sorting hat and each houses animal emblems.

Finally, Looter’s received a new X-Files card game from IDW. The two player game comes in an “FBI style wallet” and “includes replicas of Mulder and Scully’s ID cards to use as player avatars.”

Inside this month’s crate:

-Rick and Morty T-shirt (Cartoon Network)

-Westworld SuperEmoFriends Diorama (Loot Crate)

-Harry Potter Sorting Hat Socks (HYP Hosiery)

-Westworld Maze Pin (Loot Crate)

-X-Files Card Game (IDW)

Unboxing April's Loot Crate: Investigate

Loot Crate's theme for the month of April, "Investigate", brings together some of our most celebrated sleuths. Items from The X-Files, Stranger Things, Jessica Jones, and Batman could all be uncovered in the latest crate. Overall, the latest box was pretty awesome, but I think they missed an opportunity by excluding the greatest detective of all time- Sherlock Holmes. Anything from the character created by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle would have been an awesome addition to the box.

The first item inside is a Batman color-changing mug. Fill the mug with any hot beverage to reveal the bat signal, shining over Gotham City. I didn't necessarily need another mug, but this one is pretty darn cool.

Next up were the monthly T-shirt and pin. The shirt is an homage to the cover of Uncanny X-Men #134. It features characters from Netflix's Stranger Things taking the place of Marvel's mutants on this exclusive tee. The pin, a mini-tape recorder, also comes with digital downloads of two X-Files and two Metropolis comics!

The final items come from X-Files and Marvel's Jessica Jones. Looter's received an exclusive set of four X-Files pencils and a sharpener. The last item, from Jessica Jones, is hands down the best item in the box. The Exclusive Jessica Jones figure joins the growing line of previous Q-Figs from past crates which included Batman and Deadpool amongst others.

In April's crate:

-Stranger Things T-shirt (Netflix, Loot Crate)
-Batman Color-Changing Mug (DC Comics, Zak! Designs)
-Mini-Tape Recorder Pin (Loot Crate)
-X-Files Digital Comics (Comixology, IDW)
-Metropolis (Comixology, Delcourt)
-X-Files Pencil and Sharpener Set (20th Century Fox, A Crowded Coop)
-Jessica Jones Q-Fig (Marvel, QMx)

Unboxing January's Loot Crate: Invasion

The first Loot Crate of 2016 has arrived, and with it comes change. Loot Crate announced that each crate will include a T-Shirt and a cloisonné collector pin that "unlocks something epic." I didn't  usually keep the buttons, but if they continue sending out pins as cool as this month's, I'm going to have a big collection. Now this may be me, but this month's magazine seemed to have a bit more content in it than previous ones. January's theme, 'Invasion,' coincides with tonight's premiere of the X-Files six-episode event. I was a HUGE fan of the series and watched them as they aired, so this crate was very very exciting for me.

It contained TWO X-Files exclusives- the first was an exclusive T-shirt, with a design chosen through a contest collaboration between Loot Crate and Threadless. The second exclusive X-Files item was an awesome LED flashlight, and they also threw in a pack of batteries. The exclusives didn't stop there, either! Also included were a Space Invaders vinyl figure, Alien Face hugger plush, The Fifth Element prop replica Multi Pass, "Invasion" mini art prints, and pin. The pin unlocks a copy of the first issue of "Letter 44" from Oni Press on Comixology. Overall, a very impressive start to the new year!

Inside this month's box:

- Exclusive X-Files "The Day Has Come" T-Shirt (Threadless)
- Exclusive X-Files LED flashlight (Loot Crate Labs)
- Exclusive Alien Facehugger Plush (Kidrobot)
- Exclusive Space Invaders Vinyl Figure (A Crowded Coop)
- Exclusive The Fifth Element Prop Replica Multi Pass
