This month's crate features Ghostbusters, Thor and Loki, Stranger Things, and Buffy! While Loot Crate has had shipping issues with their lines lately, this one arrived on time, only a few hours ago!
Every month, the packaging with fold into something fun to compliment the theme - this month's box turns into your own Mjolnir!
Every delivery comes with a booklet that highlights each item in the box along with stories and pics of fellow Looters.
Dracula Pin - Value $5?
Each month starts off with your themed pin. This month's pin is very Halloween - it's Dracula.
This month's bonus digital loot give you Thor and Loki in Marvel Puzzle Quest.
Also - check it out! I TOTALLY have missed this, but they have a bonus digital comics section of your account as well - this month, you can score Paper Girls #1 and #2 until October 31st - I highly recommend this series!
Ghostbusters Shirt - Value $15?
This month's shirt is so 80's and I LOVE it! It's the classic logo that everyone knows and loves with an 80's flair.
Stranger Things Diorama Figure - Value $20?
This month include two little buildable figures - the first comes from Stanger Things.
You can turn Eleven to have her run away or face the Demogorgon.
It's based on the art from SuperEmoFriends artist J Salvador. It's about 4.5 inches tall with a 5-inch depth when it's all constructed. While it's not my favorite depiction of Eleven or the Demogorgon - it's fun that Loot Crate can bring a piece of art into the 3D world with their new figure lines.
Based on the back - I'm wondering what else we might see in the future from the 'Loot Crate Artist Series'.
Thor and Loki PhatMojo Figure - Value $15?
Remember the Alien buildable figure from last month? This continues that toy line with Thor and Loki.
It arrives in pieces, similar to a Banpresto figure.
Once constructed, it's about 3 inches tall to its highest point. You'll notice that it's the same artistic style of the Alien figure as well - I'm guessing we'll see a few more of these in future boxes. Overall, I don't hate these, but they also aren't my preferred vinyl figure from Loot Crate - I really liked the Ice King figure and hope to see more like that!
"Mr. Pointy" Bookmark - Value $5-10?
The final item in the crate is a poplar wood bookmark from Buffy the Vampire Slayer.
it's a bit on the thicker side when it comes to bookmarks - but I'm sure fans of the show will get a kick out of it.
Verdict: I'm all for vinyl figures all the time - so I was happy to see a double vinyl figure month - but the figures weren't my favorite designs so that definitely brought my overall excitement down. The being said, they've already found a home in my office and I'm absolutely loving this month's shirt! Combined with the bonus loot and the bonus digital comics - I think you're almost always coming out ahead in value with Loot Crate. The downside - you might have to wait a bit for your box as they've been having issues with manufacturers across their lines (this box shipped right on time).
