If you missed the announcement of the epic BoxLunch Funko Pop collaboration of a new Tina Funko Pop you should totally go read about that.

BoxLunch Presents Exclusive ‘Bob’s Burgers’ Funko Pop To Help End Hunger

by Courtney DossettSeptember 16, 2017

I love Bob’s Burgers. I don’t know if it’s the puns, or the fact that I completely identify with Louise’s murderous rants and Tina’s awkward “uuuuuuuuuuhhhhhhhh”s, but the show has me firmly in its grasp.

So what better way to celebrate National Cheeseburger Day (September 18th) then by releasing a limited edition, Tina Funko Pop figurine exclusively available from BoxLunch. BoxLunch, a “cause-driven pop culture gift store”, is donating a meal to those in need for every $10 spent in their stores and online.

Tina’s Funko Pop will retail for $12.90, and for each one sold, BoxLunch will be donating 10 meals to Feeding America, from now until February 27, 2018.

Need more Bob’s Burgers merch? There are shirts, pins, backpacks, and homegoods available too! Click here to see the full line of Bob’s Burgers merchandise available!

I want this soap dispenser and I can’t figure out why.

Not a fan of the show? Why did you click this article? That’s fine though, BoxLunch has merchandise from many different fandoms that still go out to help the hungry in America, so go take a look and let us know what you find!

Geekscape Unboxes: January 2017’s Wizarding World Crate

by Natalie KipperJanuary 30, 2017

The previous Wizarding World Crate was one of my favorites of all those that I have unboxed. I dove into this month’s crate, bearing the theme “A Matter of Time,” with high expectations and I am pleased to say that I was not disappointed. Sit a spell and let’s pour over the contents!

Upon opening the crate, I was greeted with the image of Hermione’s Time Turner on the upper flap. It was a bit more understated than the previous month’s design but I think that I liked it better.

The first step was to unfurl the scroll that detailed the crate’s contents. The stars next to the titles denote the item’s exclusivity to the crate. I was impressed that, besides the Funko POP! figure, everything fell under that category.

Given this month’s theme, a Time Turner necklace seems like an obvious inclusion. The inner portion of the necklace flips around, as one would expect, although not all the parts move. The Time Time hangs on a leather cord with an adjustable metal clasp. I can see this being a fun everyday accessory to show off your fandom.

Speaking of everyday accessories, I was particularly impressed by the Deathly Hallows Pocket Watch. For starters, it is a real pocket watch, not some decorative piece. The chain it comes on is long enough that you can still check the time while wearing it on your neck.

While not as useful as the pocket watch, the Harry Potter Prophecy Pin still looked pretty, with its milky material in the crystal ball and faux antique metal finish. The pin is relatively heavy, though.

My favorite of the included items was the pair of Platform 9 3/4 Socks. They just looked fanciful and fun.

I got a little teary-eyed at this shirt but I imagine I am not the only one. The memorable quote combined with the picture of Alan Rickman as Snape just really nailed it. It doesn’t hurt that the shirt itself is also very soft.

Like the previous Wizarding World crate, a Funko POP! figure was included. Possibilities included Ron or Hermione dressed for the Yule Ball, Luna Lovegood, or Sirius Black. As you can see, I received Hermione in her Yule Ball gown. This was the only item in the crate that was not a Loot Crate-exclusive.

Loot Crate has so far succeeded in providing a quality subscription box with its Wizarding World crate. Every item chosen in this month’s crate was meaningful and of good quality. I can’t wait to see wait is coming up next!

Geekscape Unboxes: November 2016’s Wizarding World Crate Presented By Loot Crate!

by Natalie KipperNovember 26, 2016

Thanks to our friends at Loot Crate, I was able to open a box that may very well be the closest thing that I will get to a Hogwarts admission letter: The Wizarding World Crate! This subscription box is packed with goodies inspired by the magical creations of J.K. Rowling, specifically Harry Potter and Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them. November 2016 marked the launch of this particular subscription series. Let’s have a look!

As unassuming as the outside of the box is, there is still a hint of the magic within. In order to open the crate, you need to break a seal that reads “Muggle Worthy.” Pop open the hood and you are greeted with “I want to be a wizard” printed on the inside.

Much like the posters found in the Loot Anime crates, there was a scroll included that detailed the items found within this shipment. I was pleasantly surprised by the effort that went into such a tiny part of the package. When you first find it, it is rolled up with a sticker “seal” on it. Touches like this add to the feel that this box truly came from another world.

What is a wizard without their owl? Included in this crate was a Pigwidgeon Owl plush. He is soft and well-made. I also appreciated the Harry Potter-licensed tush tag. If you must know, I named mine Archimedes.

Speaking of owls, also found within was a rather hefty keychain depicting a letter from Hogwarts (I guess I did get one, didn’t I?) and an owl. There is also leather tassel to make it all fancy-like. Flip the letter charm over and it has the Harry Potter logo.

Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them hit theaters this month so it makes sense that the majority of the items be related it. Perhaps the most eye-catching is the shirt, which has the front page from the wizard publication, The New York Ghost. The amount of detail put into the image is surprising. I could tell a lot of time went into the design.

One of the fancier items was a MACUSA (Magical Congress of the United States of America) journal. The pages are unlined with gold leaf around the edges. The very last page has an interesting image that appears to be a map of the United States with spell hotspots. The picture reads “Real Time Hex Indicator.” This was a special touch that I felt added more authenticity to the item.

If you have ever been to a convention (or a Hot Topic, for that matter), you know that Funko POP! figures are kind of a big deal to many collectors. In this box, you have a chance of getting one of five Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them POP!’s: Newt Scamander, Tina Goldstein, the Niffler, Albus Dumbledore, or Jacob Kowalski. My package included Tina Goldstein. I will note that paint job on mine got a little sloppy near the wand, with some of the skin tone color making on to the wand portion.

I actually think this is the least interesting of the items included in the crate. There isn’t much to POP!’s in terms of design and they can easily be found in other stores.

The final item is the Bowtruckle lapel pin. The accessory depicts Newt Scamander’s Bowtruckle, Pickett, peeking out from a pocket, as it does in the new movie. The pin itself has a good weight to it and seems to be of good quality.

Loot Crate’s Wizarding World Crate surpassed my expectations. The thoughtful collection of items were fun to open and I loved that each part truly felt tied to J.K. Rowling’s works. I whole-heartedly recommend this crate to anyone looking for a touch of magic in their lives!

Geekscape Toys: ‘Sailor Moon’ Funko POP! figures spotted at New York Toy Fair

by Natalie KipperFebruary 13, 2016

The New York Toy Fair opened today but that didn’t stop Funko from giving fans a preview of some of their booth’s exciting displays. One of those displays that is creating a buzz is a set of Funko POP! figures made in the likenesses of Sailor Moon‘s iconic heroes.

Photos show figures of Sailor Moon, Sailor Mercury, Sailor Mars, Sailor Jupiter, Sailor Venus, and Tuxedo Mask. Moon and Venus each come with their feline companion, Luna and Artemis. According to the booth’s placard, these toys should release April 2016. While their official prices were not shown, I imagine they cost the same as a typical POP! figure ($12.50).

What do you think of the Sailor Senshi in this style? Are you planning on picking up any of them?

by Derek KraneveldtFebruary 11, 2016

Briefly: New York Toy Fair is finally just a couple of days away, and though I’ll be thousands and thousands of miles away from the action, I can’t wait to see what all of my favourite toymakers have to show off.

One of this Summer’s biggest features, Duncan Jones’ Warcraft is set to have a huge presence at the convention, and Toy Fair attendees can expect to see new additions to the range from ThinkGeek, Just Funky and Funko. Additionally, master toy partner Jakks Pacific will host a special presentation of the Warcraft line ahead of its upcoming Toys “R” Us launch scheduled for March 2016.

Jamie Kampel, Vice President, Licensing & Partnerships at Legendary notes that “The Warcraft universe represents one of the most passionate fandoms in the world. The products and collectibles that will be on display at Toy Fair not only capture the essence of the magical worlds that inspired them but the sheer depth of the range creates must-have items for even the most discerning Warcraft fans.”

We’ve got a sweet sneak peak at one of the upcoming Funko Pop! (booth 4805) figures, as well as some of Jakk’s Pacific’s (booth 1135) gorgeous Warcraft figurines. At the show, Think Geek (booth 3015) will showcase a range that includes watches, wall décor, caps, backpacks and stylish loungewear inspired by the Warcraft film, Just Funky (booth 4963) will be showing off novelty tumblers, mugs, water bottles and decorative coasters perfect for the grog of your choosing.

Mostly, it sounds like a lot of stuff that I’d like to own. Take a look at a few of the images below, and be sure to let us know what you think! New York resident? Planning to head to the New York Toy Fair?
