It's time to take a quick look at April's geek boxes!
Just a note before starting - Since geek boxes are including more and more exclusive items, it's becoming harder to get a real value, so I figured I'd give a fair estimate of those items. Also, if the review has a value range - I took the high-end of the range.

About the April 2017 Nerd Block
This month's theme was Dressed To Kill. It included items from James Bond, The Godfather, Anchorman, Marvel, and two Joker items! This might have been the most far-out Nerd Block in terms of franchises - but they really pulled it together around the theme!
My Favorite Item in the April 2017 Nerd Block
The Sex Panther bottle just really cracked me up - and I think it can be used as a flask as well!

About the April 2017 Geek Fuel
Geek Fuel doesn't have themes, but they typically spoil 2-3 franchises. This month included South Park, Zelda, TMNT, Deadpool, and a Steam game. Geek Fuel might be the best at sending really fun and unique exclusive items - this month didn't disappoint!

About the April 2017 Marvel Collector Corps
The April Collector Corps theme was 'Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2'. This month's delivery had two huge vinyl figures - the Rocket + Groot POP AND a Star-Lord in the Milano Dorbz ride! Along with those big ticket items, you also get Secret Empire #0, the patch + pin set, and a POP shirt.
My Favorite Item in the April 2017 Marvel Collector Corps
I've never been a Dorbz fan, but this one is just INCREDIBLE - it was tough to choose between this and the Rocket POP, but this one was just real fun.

My Favorite Item in the April 2017 Loot Crate DX
I'm a statue collector, so this item really spoke to me - it's not the most detailed statue, but it's currently on display.
Verdict
Best Geek Box
Geek Fuel. Every item was a winner for me in the April box - but the Zelda rug was just a fun and unique inclusion!
Best Geek Box Item
Star-Lord Milano Dorbz Ride. There were a few great items this month - but this item had me giddy, so it has to win.
