Loot Crate Kingdom Unboxing

Loot Crate KINGDOM arrived as scheduled this month. Hopefully everyone received their crates already. If you haven't, don't look any further. Below is our unboxing pictures.

These Disney Treasures boxes are AWESOME! Favorite Subscription Box from Funko so far! This box's theme is Tiny Town so think of small or tiny. Unboxing pictures below:

Loot Crate Animation Unboxing

We were unfortunately in the group of people that had our Loot Crate delayed due to a shortage in T-shirts for this month's crate. So we got our crate in mid-August just as the August Crate was closing. Disappointed that this box took so long to arrive.

Another note is that our (non-regular) mail carrier that delivered this box decided to shove/squish this into our mailbox and slightly crushed our crate but luckily nothing was broken. As a huge animation fan, this box was definitely worth the wait.

VIZ Media Announces New Digital Manga Content For August

Catch Exciting Digital Debuts, The Series Finale For TOKYO GHOUL And Updates to the WEEKLY SHONEN JUMP App!

VIZ Media details digital manga updates for August highlighted by the launch of several notable new series and the continuation of fan-favorites as well as exciting updates to the WEEKLY SHONEN JUMP App.

This month, readers are invited to dive into the opening volume of VAMPIRE KNIGHT: MEMORIES, the latest new release in creator Matsuri Hino’s acclaimed gothic drama. Fans can also enjoy THE ART OF MY LITTLE PONY: THE MOVIE, a lavish release that contains concept sketches, notes, character designs and commentary from the director, screenwriter, and character designers of MY LITTLE PONY: THE MOVIE. Additional notable new digital releases include the not-to-be-missed series finales of TOKYO GHOUL (Vol. 14) and MAID-SAMA! (Vol. 9).

Every Knight has a beginning and the One:12 Collective’s Batman starts here. Batman—Ascending Knight is part of a trilogy: A beginning, a middle and an end. The Ascending Knight is Batman in his first year; designed to be contemporary but still have a first appearance feel. This is the Batman of 10 years ago, as he just began his war on crime.

At the start of his crime-fighting career Bruce Wayne is still working things out, finding what works and what doesn't. Some of his tech and gear is still a bit unfinished and raw. His Bat Suit is bulky, showing that he has not yet fine-tuned it.

Of course the design pays homage to Batman as he first appeared in Detective Comics. The shape of his cowl, the shorter gloves and the smaller symbol on his chest are all inspired by his original debut in the comics.
