Invasion Shirt - Value $15?

This month's exclusive shirt is by a UK artist Boneface. Their shirts will also echo the inner lid art - which has been some really cool and unique stuff over the past 3-4 months - I'm really enjoying that. This month throws a ton of different Alien incarnations against some unfortunate cowboys. I love seeing the Mars Attacks! aliens represented!

Alien Titan Vinyl 2-Pack - Value $10.99 on Amazon

This month also features a Titan vinyl figure, well, 2 vinyl figures - Alien and Ripley. I've received a couple different versions of this two pack in other geek boxes - as well as many different versions of the Alien Titan, big and small, but I still love the build of the Alien Titan - so I can add another to the collection.

Weeping Angel Wacky Wobbler - Value $7.99 on Amazon

The next item is from Doctor Who - it's a Funko Wacky Wobbler Weeping Angel statue - say that ten times fast! These humanoids can only attack when you're not looking away - so keep eye contact with the statue!

ZBox August 2016 - 6

Warcraft Bleacher Creature - Value About $10 on Amazon

The final item is Warcraft plush from Bleacher Creatures. I've never been a fan of the Bleacher Creatures line of plush toys, and most plush toys in general, so this was the main miss of the month for me.

Verdict: This month was an ok month of ZBox for me. I wasn't really excited for any of the items, but there were a couple of fun items. This statue and the Alien 2-pack are fun items, but nothing that I'd be buying normally. I do feel that ZBox has some of the strong exclusive shirts going for them - they've had some great artwork recently, and they don't look like stopping - so that's a major positive for me.
