Two Thumbs Up for Marvel Collector Corps Avengers: Age of Ultron Debut Box

Another Subscription? Seems like there's so many different subscription boxes out now. We were a bit skeptical on signing up for the Marvel Collector Corps which is powered by Funko in collaboration with Marvel. First the good news is that this subscription is not monthly but bi-monthly and because it's Marvel, there will be a theme for each box and the April Debut box is Avengers: Age of Ultron. Forgot to also say that this arrived on National Superhero Day and before the Avengers: Age of Ultron Movie comes out in Theaters which was great timing!

The next box coming out in June will be Ant-Man Themed. With shipping costs & tax the box costs a bit over $30.The box is pretty big and bulky. Love the shipping box graphics. More pics of the box below as well as a pictoral unboxing.

Littlest Pet Shop The Littlest Pets Collection Series 2 Mini Figure Blind Bag

The last blind bag post for today at least.... Littlest Pet Shop The Littlest Pets Collection Series 2 Mini Figure Blind Bag.  A bit disappointed in these... Why? Well for starters you mini figure and accessories are just inside the packaging with nothing else so if you open it too quick the accessories can fly out. Hasbro doesnt even bother to put in a checklist inside or at least a card to identify who you got. When you open the package, you're gonna rip it open so the checklist on the bag will be torn unless you're an adult collector and decide to open it by cutting the sides to open it.

Since these pets don't have names, you have to make sure to look at the pictures on the package. We got #3786. Check out the pics below!

My Little Pony Cutie Mark Magic Mini Figure Blind Pack

More blind pack toys... This one is My Little Pony Cutie Mark Magic Mini Figure Blind Pack. If you were growing up in the 80's, My Little Pony is no stranger to you. They re-vamped My Little Pony for the next generation of kids. Right on the package it says there are 24 different mini figures to collect. Above pictures shows the front and back of the pack.

The best part of course is ripping open the pack to see what you get inside. We ripped open this blind pack and inside we got Applejack.

Minecraft Series 2 Stone Blind Box

Been meaning to get this posted so will have some blind box openings in the next upcoming posts. You can never get tired of opening up blind boxes/packs/bags etc... Everyone loves a good mystery...well... to a certain extent. Blind boxes/packaging should be fun but should also be affordable/reasonable.

Here we are with Minicraft Series 2 Stone Mini Figures Blind Box. Picked one of these up while out shopping. Only in the blind boxes are you able to get certain mini figures Undead Horse, Saddled Pig, Tamed Wolf and Steve? w/TNT. (see pics below)

Big WOW! ComicFest 2015 Recap

Last weekend, The Big WOW! ComicFest was held at the San Jose Convention Center in San Jose, CA. This is the Bay Area's Biggest Comic-Con since Wondercon has not had a presence in the Bay Area for quite a few years now.

San Jose Convention Center
The weather was perfect. The show was great this year! It did get a bit bigger than last year or maybe we're not as jaded as we were the previous year. You can't compare this to say SDCC or Wondercon as those shows are filled with Movie/TV Studios. There were lots of artists and vendors selling their merchandise from cosplay weapons, replicas, toys, collectibles, comics, art, t-shirts and lots more. What we would love to see more of is indie toy makers. We know there are more of you out there!
