What's in the Box?
The shirt this month is Mario! My earliest memories of gaming was spent in front of an NES playing Duck Hunt and Super Mario 3.
Next item is a Michelangelo Tiki Muglet. He's my second favorite turtle with Leo coming in first. It's about the size of a shot glass. I might pick up other ones from the Loot Crate Vault.
The next item is a 1:6 scale replica of the 1940's Captain America shield. It's a cool replica item that would be great on my nerd shelf.
The last big item is a reprint of Action Comics #1. This is the first appearance of Superman, and it comes with a certificate of authenticity.
This pin is sweet since it's the TMNT logo. The pin comes with digital copies of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles #1-5 from IDW. I can't wait to read these.
The box also turns into a comic holder!
Final Thoughts
I actually liked most of the items in this box. My favorite item would be the Mario shirt with the other items not far behind. Is this month's crate worth it? I think it is.
