May 2018 Marvel Gear + Goods 'Assemble' Review
The "Assemble" box features the Avengers while focusing a lot of the item on the latest movie from the Marvel Cinematic Universe - Infinity War.
It comes with an information card that can double as a frameable poster. It's a thicker cardstock, too - ours arrived in decent shape - still in good condition to hang up.
Black Panther Battle Cry Pin - Value $5-10?
This month's pin moves away from the comic book cover pins of the recent past and goes with a Black Panther theme. All it's missing is "Wakanda Forever!".
Infinity War Shirt - Value $15?
This month's exclusive shirt highlights Black Panther, Thor, Iron Man, Hulk, Black Widow, Vision, and Cap in this retro Infinity War graphic. What I like most about this is how it feels like it ties in with the recent Marvel movie posters, I get the same vibe from this shirt and the posters - I'm really liking it.
The upper back features a little Infinity Gauntlet as well - why not.
Infinity War Stacking Glass Coasters - Value $9-13 online
While this isn't an exclusive, I thought it was one of the cooler items in the box.
They are 4 separate glass coasters - very high-quality.
As you stack them up...
You can start to assemble...
The Avengers!
Each coaster has 4 little plastic bumpers on the bottom, too. Very nice.
Infinity Gauntlet 20-ounce Sculpted Ceramic Mug - Value $22
This is also a non-exclusive item - and I think you could consider it the hero item of the box, as well.
This is a large 20-ounce hand painted mug of the Infinity Gauntlet - I feel like all Infinity Gauntlet mugs should be oversized. It's also hand-wash only.
Incredibuilds: Captain America Civil War 3D Wood Model - Value $9 on Amazon
The last item in the box is an Incredibuilds wooden model kit.
Each comes with a sheet of perforated wooden pieces to pop out.
Along with instruction to assemble it.
These always come with a little booklet, too. Inside, you'll find all sorts of detail about your favorite heroes.
I would have totally been into this at a younger age.
Here it is assembled! I think it took about 15-20 minutes - so not nearly as bad as the R2-D2 model I had to do in the past!
It has some good detail to it in the end - you can let it stand by itself, pop it on the stand, or even use it with a figure. These are also ready to be painted if you'd like to take it a step further.
Verdict: It seems that the Marvel subscription is more on track with its shipping schedule than the recent past - so that's good. I thought they the items fell nicely into the 'Assemble' theme with the stackable coasters and Incredibuild set. I was surprised by the lack of exclusive, though - exclusives aren't a deal-breaker for me at all - as long as the items are good, I'm on board!
