January 2018 Loot Crate DX Discover Review
This month featured Bill & Ted, Westworld, Clue, The Dark Crystal, and Harry Potter!
It comes with a fold-out information card that details the items in your box.
Clue Pint Set - Value $10?
This month's pin is 3 pins and each is a featured weapon from Clue - this was a fun idea!
Bill & Ted Wyld Stallyns Raglan - Value $20?
I grew up loving both Bill & Ted adventures, so this raglan is right up my alley - it features their band name on the front.
With tour dates on the back, of course.
Harry Potter Q-Fig - Value $15?
I'm a BIG Q-Fig fan (go check out their Animaniacs growing line!) - I don't have this Harry Potter Q-Fig yet, so I was really happy to find it inside.
Like some Q-Figs, it comes with a removable speech bubble.

Westworld Delores SuperEmoPlush - Value $15?
Loot Crate has been producing a ton of items from the SuperEmoFriends artist J Salvador - this is the second plush from this line.
It's cool that they're bringing artist renditions to life - but I'd like to see more artists, the majority has been from SuperEmoFriends. Delores will go well with Barb!
The Dark Crystal: The Ultimate Visual History - Value $45 on Amazon (different edition on-sale for $29)
EDIT: Thanks to Loric in the comments for letting us know that this edition has content cut from the Amazon edition!
This is the ultimate coffee table for Dark Crystal fans.
This is a fantastic look at the art and creation of the Jim Henson classic. The book gets very high reviews and it's easy to see why.
Verdict: First things first, this yet another delay from Loot Crate - it arrived right around the end of the month, so it wasn't too bad. When it comes down to the items, I loved it. I'm not quite sure that this will be a global hit, though, since it hit some older and maybe not-so-well-known franchises.
As a general word of caution - Loot Crate has been having numerous manufacturing delays across a number of their lines - it's something to beware of if you're trying to get a box on a schedule.
To Wrap Up:
Can you still get this box if you sign up today? No – you can find the current month available at the top of their homepage. They are currently taking January subscriptions – every month’s cutoff date to order is the 19th of the month at midnight EST.
