MY FIRST KAIJU BOX OPENING


Nowadays, there seems to be Loot Crate type subscription boxes for everything from movies, comics, anime and video games. But what about us Kaiju fans?


Well thanks to a man named Salvatore Lomedico and his Indiegogo fundraiser, we have KAIJU BOX! The worlds first and only Kaiju themed subscription box.

Upon hearing about this I instantly pledged as soon as the money was right. I got the Signature Edition of the first box and this is what was inside:

This box was originally going to include the NECA 2001 Godzilla figure, that ended up not being the case due to some issues. But we did get another NECA figure, a solar powered Body Knocker of the 1954 Godzilla. Think of it like a reverse bobble head figure, the head stays motionless while the body sways back and forth. I've thought about getting this a few times in the past and now I have it. Pretty cool.
One of the main reasons for me getting this box was for this exclusive print by Godzilla comic artist, Matt Frank. I really love this piece and I'm glad I actually have something signed by him now. Now if only he could come to one of my local conventions so I could have him sign some other stuff.

There were 2 shirts that were gonna come with this box, one of which parodies the WWF's NWO logo, only instead of "NWO" it said "GMK". While I would have liked to have that shirt, I'm happy that I got the shirt I wanted more with King Ghidorah on it.

Now onto the smaller stuff:


Normally I'm not that into small mystery packs like these, I left that behind after the WizKids Godzilla mini-figures. But these still neat little finger puppets, I just have no desire to pursue collecting them. This is where my only gripe comes from this box, the figure that I ended up getting (The GMK Godzilla) was one I already had. No ill will towards the box itself though.
There was also a NECA Scalers Godzilla figure. Scalers are figures that you can attach to charging cables and headphones. I already had one before this, but now I have one new in box. ^.^
I don't know if I've ever made this clear, but I'm a huge Pacific Rim fan. I've always wanted something to wear that says "Kaiju Groupie" on it. Now I got a rubber wristband that says it. Though I have no idea if it's going to fit my huge wrist or not.
These are some pretty neat stickers. I especially love the Hail Cthulhu one. I don't think I'm gonna stick them onto anything though.
PINS!!! Fun fact, the one on the left says "Kaiju". And I agree with another unboxing video by Youtube user GreenwitEvil that says that the Mascot Kaiju needs a name. 
I have no knowledge about this card game other than: It's a card game and it's called Kaiju Assualt. That is some nice artwork for Hedorah though. 

As far as the first Kaiju Box goes, this is a pretty cool offering and I hope to see it continue. If you'd like to have a box like this, simply visit the Indiegogo link here: https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/kaiju-box-2-featuring-neca-shin-godzilla/x/15746474#/
