Marvel Collector Corps - November Edition - Marvel Holiday

November's Marvel Collector Corps was aptly themed to Marvel Holiday. This box sounded fun to me and didn't disappoint. The box contained 4 items this time: two Funko Pops, a t-shirt, and a pair of shot glasses (or as Funko refers to them, "toothpick holders").

I loved the Pop of little Groot dressed as a Christmas tree, although I think the baby Holiday Groot Pop I got is a lot cuter. The Holiday Thor Pop cracked me up with Mjolnir wrapped as a Christmas gift with his name on it. These go perfectly with my other Marvel Holiday Pops sold outside of Marvel Collector Corps. I don't use shot glasses all that much but the holidays are when I'm most likely to use them, so these are perfect and pretty cute with designs from the regular Marvel Holiday series.

Finally the Infinity Gauntlet t-shirt. I like the ugly sweater design, very appropriate for the holidays since there isn't anything else holiday themed about the shirt. I'm getting a little fed up with all the Thanos repetition but this shirt is pretty cool for the holidays.

Overall I really like everything in this box and I'm glad I didn't skip it. The Pops have been with their Marvel Holiday counterparts on my desk at work for the holiday season. I would value the contents of this box at $50 which I think is pretty good.

Snapshot Sunday - Skyliner Funko Pop

This is a hefty Funko Pop and the level of detail is incredible! I couldn't get a picture but there's even detailed benches on the inside! The only complaint I have is with Funko's non-existent quality control. My poor Mickey has red stains on his face. Not cool.

I finally found Madame Leota! I also picked up the Box Lunch Groundskeeper exclusive and decided why not complete the set with the only Pop left - the Hot Topic Merry Minstrel exclusive.

Marvel Collector Corps - September Edition - Marvel 80 Years

September's Marvel Collector Corps boxed was themed to 80 Years of Marvel. I was really excited for what would be in this box - so much to choose from over 80 years! I like what I got but I think this box should have been named "Marvel Villains" instead of Marvel 80 Years because only villains are represented in this box. What's up with that? The card inside even says "Celebrates 80 years of Super Heroes and villains that make them look good". There are no super heroes in this box.

This box contained 5 items which was pretty good: two Pops, a t-shirt, a decal and an enamel pin. I really love the decal! It looks like the corner of an old comic with the Marvel Comics Group logo, issue number and price. Neat! The pin isn't pictured above (I already took it to work and put it on my pin board) but you can see it in the summary card photo below. It's the Hydra logo.

The Green Goblin t-shirt is pretty awesome, he's one of my favorite villains so I will for sure wear that shirt. The Pops are really hefty! The first is Thanos and the second is Loki. Both designs are taken from the first comic appearance of each character. Both Pops are well done but I prefer Loki. I like his character better but also I feel like Thanos is pretty over-saturated at this point.

I would value this box at around $55. I like this box a lot more than the Spider-Man: Far From Home box. I keep saying I may not continue to subscribe but for now I will.

Haunted Mansion Funko Pop Series Release

I've been waiting for at least a month for this series to finally hit the shelves and I can finally say that is has! I went to 2 Target stores on the way home tonight after discovering they had finally dropped. The first Target is pictured above. They had almost everything: the Opera Singer, Constance, the Mummy Spirit and of course their exclusives, the 10" Ezra and the metallic Hitchhiking Ghost 3-pack. They also had a backpack, t-shirt and bowl and spoon set. They did not have the Pocket Pop of Ezra, Gus or Phineas.

I picked up the Opera Singer, Constance and the Mummy Spirit before going to a second target in the hopes of finding Madame Leota. The second Target had even less with only the Mummy Spirit and 3 pack available. Box Lunch are already showing out on all of their Haunted Mansion Pops but there's hope at Hot Topic who haven't received their stock yet. A friend of mine who works there told me their shipment has been delayed with no explanation given.

ETA: The full collection has now dropped at Hot Topic and Box Lunch have re-stocked many of their Pops.

Marvel Collector Corps - July Edition - Spider-Man

I still debate on keeping my Marvel Collector Corps subscription. So far I've been very happy with both boxes but I'm always afraid I'll get a box I don't like. I loved Spider-Man: Far From Home so I opted to keep this box. I will say this has been my least favorite box so far.

There were 5 items in this box, one more than last time, but I feel like quantity won over quality this time. Two of the items were Pops: Spider-Man in a Dutch soccer jersey and Mysterio. The scene where Peter dons the soccer Jersey in Holland is pretty funny and a great idea for a Pop if you're wanting to reflect memorable movie moments, but the Pop itself is very "meh". I never would have bought it if I saw it on the shelf.

Mysterio however is an incredible Pop! His cape is very well detailed and he lights up! Very cool. I've always thought Mysterio was an awesome villain so I love this Pop. The other three items were a hacky sack, a Midtown School of Science and Technology cinch tote/drawstring backpack, and a Spider-Man logo decal.

The hacky sack looks cute but honestly, I can't tell you what I'll ever do with it. Pretty useless. The backpack is neat but very cheaply made. You couldn't put much in there at all without it ripping. I use drawstring totes all the time but I'm not sure what I'll use that for since it's so fragile. The decal is cool but I don't really know where to put it so for now it's still in the box.

I would put the value of this box at about $45. This box truly made me question if I should continue with the Marvel Collector Corps at this point. I love Mysterio but could live without the other items. The next theme sounds pretty good so I'll give it one more shot and see if I'll keep subscribing.

Disney Treasures - Lilo & Stitch Box

This box was released back in November and I guess with being in Air Force technical training I just completely missed it. I found it in on sale at my local Hot Topic so I snagged it! I love the pineapple crate design of the box! I didn't get it in the picture but another neat detail is Stitch's eyes peering through on one side.

The box includes a Hot Topic Exclusive Pocket Pop of Experiment 626 Stitch, Angel plush, Hot Topic Exclusive Tiki Stitch Funko Pop that's pineapple scented, and a Mystery Mini of Stitch dressed in Nani's laundry.

I love everything in this box except the plush. I never cared for Lilo & Stitch 2 or the animated series. But even though I don't like it I still kinda want to keep all of the items in the box together lol. The scented Pop is definitely scented and made the whole box smell delicious! But while on display I can't say I really noticed the scent. The Pocket Pop is cute, I love the Tiki Stitch it just looks awesome! The Mystery Mini is also hysterical! I love how he looks and that's one of my favorite scenes in the movie, too funny.

I probably wouldn't have purchased this box at full retail price of $32.90 but it was worth the sale price for sure.

Marvel Collector Corp - May Edition - Avengers: Endgame

My second Marvel Collector Corps box is themed to Avengers: Endgame which came out in April. I wasn't sure if I would keep my subscription after Captain Marvel just because I never seem to like everything in subscription boxes and then it doesn't seem worth the money. However, when I found out the theme for May I had to stick with it and I'm glad I did because this box sold out!

There were 4 items this time around: two full size Pops, a t-shirt and a coaster set. I was really happy with the Pops chosen! There were a ton of Endgame characters to choose from and while my preference would have been Tony wearing the Infinity Stones, Valkyrie is a decent choice as there aren't tons of Pops of her already. Cap with Mjolnir blew me away! Perfect Pop for Endgame right there! What an iconic moment!

I really like the coasters because they're something different and an item anyone can make use of. There are two in the set: one is Iron Man and the other is Thanos. This box came with a t-shirt just like last month but I'm not upset about that. The t-shirt is hysterical and my husband is super jealous of it! Luckily it won't fit him or he'd be stealing it! It's Fat Thor! He was so funny and such a surprising moment, that he had to have a place in this Endgame box for sure.

I would put a value of around $50-$60 on this box and I like everything inside so I'm pleased. I would say I love everything in the box but Valkyrie is the only thing preventing me from going that far. I like her a lot but I'm not in love with her. Cap is definitely the better Pop in this box.

Funko Disney Treasures Lion King Box Release

Another Funko Disney Treasures box has been released and in anticipation of the upcoming live action remake, this edition's theme is - The Lion King!

Purchase this box exclusively from Hot Topic stores and online for $32.90.

Marvel Collector Corps - March Edition - Captain Marvel

I know, this box shipped in March, it's June and I'm only now posting about it. Not to mention there's been another shipment since then. Better late than never though, right? I wasn't signed up to the Funko Marvel Collector Corps subscription boxes until January/February time this year. I knew of the subscription service, I thought it was super fun, I thought it was a fair price, but looking at the past boxes I wasn't ever impressed with what was inside. I was always glad I didn't pay for them.

But then Captain Marvel came out and after waiting impatiently for its release, I loved the movie as much as I thought I would when it finally came out. Then I discovered the next Marvel Collector Corps box would ship in March and it would be Captain Marvel themed. I decided to take a chance and subscribe. I was very happy with the contents!

The above picture shows everything that came in the Captain Marvel box. Each box costs $29.99 plus tax, shipping is included. For me that ended up being $32 and some change. Marvel Collector Corps is available exclusively through Amazon and if you have prime you get Prime shipping. I do not have Prime but by some stroke of luck, my box arrived the day after it shipped.

Amazon advertises that there will be 4-6 items per box and this box had 4 items: two Funko Pops, a pint glass, and a t-shirt. They ask for your t-shirt size when you order the box but not every box includes a t-shirt. I love the t-shirt so much! I really like the pictures of Captain Marvel in the hangar and her suit is badass! The logo at the bottom and "Higher, further, faster" quote above finishes it all off nicely.

The pint glass is a neat item too with the quote again and Captain Marvel in her full suit and helmet. It's something practical that I will definitely use, but I wish it was dishwasher safe.

The two Funko Pops are Collector Corps exclusives that you can't buy elsewhere. On the left is Nick Fury holding Goose which I thought was really funny and a great idea for a Pop. On the right is Captain Marvel in a flying pose with flames around her hands. I love the pose and she glows in the dark which is awesome! I know here was some criticism that it felt like she was a mash-up of two other Captain Marvel Pops that were exclusive to other locations, but I don't have any Captain Marvel Pops so I was very happy with this one.

I like both of these and I'm going to keep them, but my one criticism of the Marvel Pops (and Star Wars for that matter) is that they're bobble heads. I think that's unnecessary for the majority of characters (Dancing Baby Groot being an exception for example) and makes them look super tacky. For that reason I haven't bought any outside of the Collectors Corps.

I personally would put around a $55 value on this box, not taking the value of exclusives into account. Overall I am really happy with the contents and value of this box and I am so glad I subscribed! I currently still have my Marvel Collector Corps subscription so look for more review posts here later on.

Snapshot Sunday - WALL-E Earth Day Funko Pop

Happy Earth Day! (A day early!). This Box Lunch Exclusive Funko Pop was released for Earth Day last year but I never posted it. The box is really neat and the figure is super cute! 

The Funko Pop itself is made of 20% recycled material while the box is made of 80% recycled material. Super cool!

Earth Day Eve Funko Pop Release

To follow up last year's release of Earth Day WALL-E Funko Pop, Box Lunch have released another store exclusive for Earth Day 2019 - Eve! Just like her counterpart WALL-E, she is also holding a boot with a plant sprouting out but she is suspended in the air. This figure like the last is made of recycled material, as well as the box she's housed in. You can pick Eve up in Box Lunch stores or online for $12.90. WALL-E sold out last year so expect Eve to do the same.

Funko Disney Treaures Dumbo Mystery Box

(Click to enlarge)

I just bought the Funko Dumbo Mystery Box (formerly known as Disney Treasures) from Hot Topic. There were 6 items inside which I thought was a generous amount of items. I loved everything inside! There were three Pops: a Timothy Mouse Mystery Mini, a Dumbo Clown Pocket Pop keychan and of course, the elephant himself - Baby Dumbo.

(Click to enlarge)

The other three items included were a peanut coin pouch with Dumbo on the zipper, a Dumbo pen topper, and a baby Dumbo at bath time pin (that I forgot to include in the picture - oops!) I used Hot Cash which brought this box down to $17.90 from an original retail price of $32.90, but with 6 fantastic items inside I think this box is worth the money and a must-have for Dumbo fans.

I will use the keychain, pen and coin pouch for sure and the pin is already displayed at my desk at work. I also think Timothy Mouse and Baby Dumbo make a great display placed together. You can pick this box up at Hot Topic stores and online. 

04/13/19 ETA: This box is now marked down to $20.00
