The time has come, the Walrus said, for another Geekscape Unboxing! In this post, we will be featuring the Loot Wear December 2016 Crate, themed to Revolution! My wonderful friend, Rio, kindly modeled several of the items in this shipment for me (they look infinitely better on her than me). Let us begin with my favorite item in this month’s Crate, the Spider-Gwen bi-fold wallet!

The wallet is modeled after Spider-Gwen’s uniform and features pink metallic accents on the outside. The gut of the wallet is standard fare: zippered change pocket in the middle and small sleeves for cards followed by large ones for bills on both sides. The quality seems sturdy and the outside zipper moved smoothly.

Next up is a t-shirt starring the leading duo from Invader Zim. The print was colorful, vibrant, and definitely eye-catching. The shirt’s material was soft and had some “give” to it. The length hit a little below the waist.

I know zero about Rick and Morty so this light-weight hoodie featuring the show’s Meeseeks character was cool but didn’t have as much appeal to me as it did to Rio, a fan of the show. The hoodie has an all-around print and fits like a tunic, reaching below the wearer’s rear.

There was a second Rick and Morty item as well, a pair of men’s briefs. Like the hoodie, it featured a wrap-around print of one of the show’s characters. As is typical of Loot Wear underwear, the briefs were stretchy and smooth to touch. I imagine a fan of the show would get a kick out of them.

The final items were two pairs of socks, one inspired by Guardians of the Galaxy and the other by Mr. Robot. These were thicker ones than the socks I have been seeing in previous shipments. Perhaps it is because of the weather this time of year.

One of the most  disappointing aspects of the sudden cancellation of Disney Infinity is that the development team at Avalanche Games had no idea it was coming. The team had recently hinted at a list of future content, some of which we knew about, (such as the fan voted Peter Pan,) and others we assumed would stay locked away in the planning stages. Well, thanks to alleged insider sources releasing exclusive details of what could have been to the Disney Infiniteers YouTube channel, they’re latest reveal is straight up heartbreaking.

In the video below, it shows that Spider-Gwen was planned as being one of the game’s next big Marvel releases, with the expectation being that she would be a very popular figure. With her unique base featuring her perched on a brick building with that kick-ass pose, it’s no wonder why. Alongside the Doctor Strange toy that was shown in a previous video, it shows that the team was serious when it came to expanding the super hero side of their line-up, making it even worse knowing that they’ll never see the light of day.

With Gwen Stacy being one of my favorite comic book characters while Disney Infinity was my favorite Toys To Life game, this news is especially frustrating for me. I almost feel like I would have rather not known, but I can appreciate how the design team would have crafted another amazing figure that does the character justice yet again. Is there hope that Disney could release the figure without game integration down the road? I wouldn’t bet on it, but I’ll hold on to my misguided hope. It’s all I have left!

Check out Gwen in all her glory below, then let us know what your thoughts are on the rest of the unreleased characters in the comments!
