I finally decided to try a Comic Con Box in June. I had been back and forth on it since I first heard about it. This is Box Three with the theme, Adventure. Each box comes with a card detailing a few of the items inside as well as the theme announcement for the following month. I got this month's box at a discount for review purposes. |
Well, I don't have a dog so this is mine! I absolutely love Adventure Time and I love Pep But so this is a win! Any of them would have been a win - subscribers could have received Peppermint Butler, Gunter or Cinnamon Bun. I would have loved Gunter, but I already have a bunch of Gunter stuff and no Pep But stuff so this is good! I don't know if I'd even let my dog chew on this if I had one! |
I like these a lot! They're a little on the heavy side so I don't think I'll actually hang them from my earbuds - but I do have my Denver Comic Con badge hanging in my cubicle so I think I'll attach them to the lanyard! I also really like that these are exclusives from SDCC '14 so they might actually be fairly rare at this point. Not to mention they're freaking adorable! |
Honestly, I can't imagine I'll ever watch this movie. It's clearly a children's movie and I don't really have any interest in watching a kid play a younger version of Ant-Man. | I can't find a legitimate price for this item because I can only find them in a pack of six. Either way, this something I can't imagine ever using that much, but it'll look cool on my desk at work! If anything it'll help me grab a binder clip when I'm too lazy to reach! |
This is another exclusive for Comic Con Box subscribers and I can't find it online except for people selling it from this box - but I really love it! I'll have to get a frame for it, but it's already on a nice thick card stock. I love both of these franchises and I love the mash-up idea. The colors are great and the watercolor/airbrushed look is fantastic! Can't wait to find a nice spot for it on my livingroom wall! |
I do love variant comic book covers! And I'm excited to read this one - Ant-Man is everywhere now. I'm also really excited about the movie (because PAUL RUDD). This is a really great cover too! The artist is Khoi Pham. | Another variant cover! I have no idea what this comic book is about but it looks intense! The artwork is crazy colorful and I'm sure it'll be a good read. |
There aren't any Wizard World Comic Con events in Colorado at all so I don't have to worry about this. This pass is to get a comic book of yours submitted to CGC Comics for professional and official grading. Once certified, they're placed in a durable holder that displays the grading and information about the book. |
Overall this was a pretty good box. It seemed more juvenile than I expected for an official Wizard World Comic Con box. I liked most of the items but some were a little too geared towards kids. I'm glad I tried it though, I was very curious about it! If you'd like to give Comic Con Box a try, head over to www.comicconbox.com to sign up! The theme for Box Four is SCIENCE! Each box is $29.99 plus shipping. Also - Box Four will have a Civil War variant comic! The total retail value of this box was over $80.00! |
