Each month, ZBox will have a theme around their box. This month's theme was Retro and items from Blade Runner, Marvel, Pac-Man, Spider-Man, and The Mysterons.

You'll get a booklet that details your items and features a few stories around that month's franchises.

Pac-Man Cherry Pin - Value $5

This month includes an exclusive pin featuring the cherries from Pac-Man!

Blade Runner Shirt - Value $15?

I'm loving this month's exclusive shirt! It features a look into that futuristic world created by Blade Runner - and does a good job at being subtle, I knew it was Blade Runner right away without have the logo stamped on it.

Super Mario Large Figure Collection - Yoshi - Value $15-25 (based on similar Amazon products)

My favorite item of the box features Liz's favorite Mario character - Yoshi!

The figures are about 5 inches with a tiny bit of articulation. This wasn't in the booklet, though, but it's as nice of a surprise as I've received in a box!

Captain Scarlet Vinyl Figure - Value $10-15?

The Cult Vinyl first launched in the December My Geek Box - the line continues with a figure from The Mysterons - Captain Scarlet.

These are exclusive to My Geek Box and ZBox. I'm a vinyl figure fan, but not really a fan of these sculpts.

Spider-Man Tin Sign - Value $10-15?

This month includes a Marvel item in the form of an 8x6 tin sign.

It features Spider-Man with Uncle Ben's famous mantra. There are 4 little holes to mount the sign where ever you want.

Marvel Comic Strip Sunglasses - Value $10-15?

The final item is a pair of Marvel sunglasses. I can't find these specific sunglasses online, so I'm ballparking the value based on similar sunglasses.

It's cool that it features a little comic strip - it makes it a bit subtle from a distance, but a fun design to inspect up close.

Verdict: I really liked this month's ZBox once again! They did a great job of sticking to the theme and going broad across different franchises - really well done. My favorite item is easily the 5 inch Yoshi - it really made the box for me!
