This month's theme is "Combat". The inside of this info card has a visual list of all the items.
Akibento Monthly Pin - Value $1.00?
Every Akibento box comes with a little pin to suit the theme. The designs are always so darn cute!
Exclusive Akibento Combat T-Shirt - Value $25.00?
I couldn't find this shirt on the Akibento online shop, so I linked to another exclusive design on the Akibento site. (It looks like they've been expanding their t-shirt options, and the prices seem to range between $20.00 and $25.00.) I love the hot, contrasting colors of this sturdy tee.
Fate/Stay Night Stickers - Value $3.00?
I couldn't find these stickers online, so I took a guess at how much this six-pack might cost. The stickers are on the larger side and would make a cute addition to the back of a laptop or a notebook. I'm not wild about the art style here, but the colors and designs are cute! It's a nice way to flaunt your love for this game!
Exclusive Akibento Ninja Star Fidget Spinner - Value $15.99
Guys, this is my first fidget spinner! I've played around with my friends' spinners before, but this is the first one I'll be able to call my own. I think the design is so clever. And of course, the way it spins forever is so satisfying. I feel like this would be such a cool addition to a cosplay outfit!
Funko Dorbz Naruto Vinyl Figure - Value $10.99
Aw, this little Naruto is so cute! He's not as sculptural as regular Funko figurines are, but I love the detail on his outfit. He's going to be a friendly addition to my desk.
Fullmetal Alchemist Tumbler - Value $15.99
I've been trying to get better about always bringing a reusable mug when I go to get a coffee, so I was happy to have this handy tumbler. My only qualm is that I can't pop it in the microwave when my drink gets cold (and I don't think this tumbler kept my tea warm much longer than it would've been in a regular open mug). It's still a cool tumbler, though!
Exclusive Dino Youtuber Sticker - Value $1.99?
I couldn't find this sticker on the Akibento shop, so I linked to another Youtuber sticker for reference. Akibento includes one item in each box that celebrates their featured monthly Youtuber. This Yoshi-inspired sticker, which seems to be just over four inches tall, gave me a chuckle when I pulled it out of the box. It's so tough and sweet at the same time!
The Verdict: This Akibento box was fun, especially since it focused on some familiar shows and characters. I got $73.96 of product, based on my estimates, which is much higher than the cost of the box. Not everything here is officially licensed, but most of it does a great job of still looking really legit (and super cool).
To Wrap Up:
