Loot Crate Anniversay

Happy Christmas if that is what you celebrate!  Loot Crate came in the post today!  Let's see what the ANNIVERSARY crate is all about.

Loot Crate Magazine and button: Showcases artwork from Josh Mirman, an interview with Stan Lee and the items in this month's crate.  The button is a simple gold-ish colour that says ANNIVERSARY.



Exclusive Batman Comic Book Issue 36: Batman!  To celebrate 75 years of Batman, the issue 36 Endgame comic is included in this month's crate.  Talk about badass.




Exclusive The Joker Batman-Batman Pop! Vinyl Figure: Batman!  My favourite super hero since I was a wee one.  The mash-up Joker/Batman is a fantastic addition to my ever-growing Batman collection.



Simpsons Cast Mighty Wallet: What the hell is a mighty wallet?  LC magazine claims it's a lightweight, water and tear resistant wallet.  That's pretty neat.  Not sure if I will use this or keep it with the other Simpsons collectibles I have.



It feels thin and I can't tear it in half so it passes on that.  The wallet is adorned with the numerous Simpsons characters I've grown to cherish over the past 25 years.

Exclusive Ghostbusters Door Hanger:  He slimed me!  A glossy cardstock door hanger.  The Ghostbusters celebrate 30 years of not being afraid of ghosts.  The design is cool but I'm not a big GB fan.  Likewise, I wouldn't use this although it is a nice addition to the crate.





Tetris Sticker Set: It was 30 years ago that Tetris burst onto the video game scene and has been a classic ever since.  I have fond memories of level after level of colour busting fun.  These appear to be glossy epoxy stickers (meaning they won't chip as easily as paper stickers).  There are 147 in this pack.  I should be able to think of a creative way to display these.





Exclusive Dancing Groot Crew Socks: To celebrate Marvel's 75th anniversary are these dancing baby Groot socks.  They are fine as far as socks go but these are not for me.  My housemate has claimed them.




Captain America Air Freshner: In honour of Marvel's 75th anniversary, a Captain America air freshener is in the crate.  Air fresheners are not my thing and I especially loathe the smell of vanilla.  It is fairly strong as I can smell it through the plastic.  Perhaps I can slip this into someone's stocking?




Final Verdict

Excellent mix of anniversary items.  A few items I wasn't crazy about but that doesn't mean someone else doesn't appreciate them.
