Loot Crate COLOSSAL Unboxing

Loot Crate COLOSSAL Unboxing for June 2018! Could there be something HUGE inside this crate? Spoilers below if you have not received your Loot Crate yet. Check out our unboxing pictures below:

So Series 6 of the Toy Story Minis started hitting stores in the past couple of weeks. We found ours at Walmart. We used to be able to find these at Toys"R"Us but since they have closed, you'll have to find them at other retailers. We have never seen these at Target. These blind bags are by Mattel. They retail for $2.99 each. If you collected the previous series, you would know which figures are new in this series. As you can you see on the front of the package, the special edition figure is the Hawaiian Vacation Woody. Can you guess which other ones are new this series?

Super7 announced more of their SDCC 2018 Exclusives which is the The Alien "Space Wars Headhammer" Tribute Xenomorph ReAction figure with coin (new picture below), Glow in the Dark Misfits The Fiend ReAction Figure, Planet of the Apes Statue of Liberty Action Playset, Iron Maiden M.U.S.C.L.E. and Transformers Optimus Prime Action Figure. ~~Not much information has been release other than the pictures shown.~~ Update 7/2- Prices were just announced, updated below.

Funko has announced A LOT of SDCC Exclusives along with a few Loungefly exclusives as well. The good new is that a good amount of exclusives will be shared exclusives with retailers such as Hot Topic, Box Lunch, Barnes & Noble, Gamestop, Target, Walmart, Amazon, Walgreens, Funko Shop, FYE etc... The pics in this post is a compilation of all of their announced exclusives so far.

Entertainment Earth has revealed a good amount of SDCC Exclusives so far. Could there be more? All of these are currently up for pre-order on their website but your best chances are getting them at SDCC as they are sold there first and anything that is left will go to those who placed their orders early enough in the pre-order.

Super7 announced a few of their Universal Monsters Boodega exclusives this past week which includes Pennants, Pins and ReAction Figures. ~~So far there is no information on pricing yet~~ Update 7/2- Prices have been announced. (See below) Check out the exclusives that have been announced below:
