I had initially planned to end 2017 with a different kind of post, but just this evening I came home to a very unexpected surprise: My second Kaiju Box!
To get an idea of what Kaiju Box is, be sure to check out the blog post where I opened up my first one.
Now a lot of people including myself have had to wait a long time for this to arrive, so I'm a little curious to see what's inside it as I have not seen any of the content that's been teased aside from the t-shirt and the headlining feature of said box.
I'm actually writing this blog as I'm opening and examining the contents, so my reactions are as genuine as possible. Let's get started!
The first thing I grabbed was a baseball cap with the Batman logo transmogrified to be Cthulhu. It looks really cool, but my biggest concern is weather or not it would fit my big fat head or not. And it does! I'm actually really surprised by this fact. The green color makes it seem like this hat should glow in the dark, but it don't.
Oh lord, not these again. I remember when these NECA Wizkids figures first came out, I saw them all the time at my local comic book/game store and I made it my mission to collect them all, which I eventually did. And now I have an extra Male Muto. If I had gotten the Female Muto, I would have been upset. That was the one I had the most trouble trying to find.
Well, the box came with 2 t-shirts with exclusive artwork by comic artist Jeff Zornow. The shirts are cool and I especially love the Gyaos one, but the wrong sizes were included. I distinctly remember ordering the box and selecting the 3XL size option. So now I have to figure that mess out.
Of course the headline item was the NECA Shin Godzilla figure. Now seeing as how I already have one and did a review on it, I actually have some idea of what I want to do with this one. It involves paint.
There's also another Cthulhu item that seems to be advertising something called 'The Cthulhu Wars' which I cannot find any info on. But it is a circular magnet made to look like the logo's you see on the back of Toho movies showing what monsters are included in the movie. Pretty cool.
Again, I know nothing about Kaiju Wars, but I like the King Ceasar card I got.
I was not expecting this to come with a movie. And I have never heard of this movie before, I might check it out later.
These are some nice Godzilla 2014 pins.
Probably one of the more unique items is this exclusive comic book. And there's not much to this first issue, it's an average set up to a bigger story with some extremely hokey, even below Power Rangers level dialogue. I have no idea if I'm gonna read the rest, let alone be able to find the other issues.
I kinda like the first box more, but this one was still pretty neat, aside from the T-Shirt snafu (Hopefully I can get that sorted out). As of right now, there is no Indiegogo fundraiser for a third box. But if you like what you saw and you want to get your hands on stuff like this, simply follow Kaiju Box at any of the links shown below to find out how you too can join the destruction.
Till next time, I have been your host Gryphon
and I hope you've enjoyed your time here in my lair.
So long...
