Hero Crate Subscription Box Review - December 2014 Mug

Marvel Comics Air Freshener - Value $2

Captain America Mug - Value $12

Well this is the second time we've received a Captain America air freshener in a subscription box!

While we probably won't use the air freshener, my husband LOVES the mug!

Hero Crate Subscription Box Review - December 2014 POP

POP Funko Vinyl Captain America - Retail Value $11 (On Amazon for $9.15)

My husband is a huge POP collector, and a Captain America fan, but surprisingly he didn't already have this one! (He has the Winter Soldier movie version). So this item was a huge win!

Hero Crate Subscription Box Review - December 2014 Tee

Cap'n Ameri-Crunch Tee - Value $12?

I believe this tee was made custom for the box, so I'm estimating on value.

Verdict: My husband is a big Marvel and Captain America fan, so as soon as I opened this box I knew it would be a hit! The value is around $37 - not too bad for the $30 a month cost.

What did you think of the December Hero Crate?

I’m pretty sure that this month’s box is The Punisher….I got it for a surprise for my husband. I hope it’s as good as this box. Thank you for your review.

The Captain Ameri-Crunch tee has been available on http://www.teefury.com in the gallery for $18.

I wish I could just get this box! I adore Captain America.

My older son likes this box which we did not order. He loves his Zelda box from them. We both like this idea because it is a guarantee that he likes all the items. He also likes that it is centered around one hero.

Teresa

Darn it! I subbed this one a little too late. I would have loved Captain America. I’m not so geeked by the idea of Hellboy. Maybe it will be a different darkhorse hero?

My 4 year old son loves his Captain America air fresher from the Dec Loot Crate. He hung it near his bed. He received it as a stocker stuffer and was super excited. 🙂

Do they ever preview which hero they’re featuring? I’m looking for a sub for my 12 year old son and the geek & gamer boxes are too all over the map in products and themes. I love the focus of this box but it would be an all or nothing hit/flop if you don’t love the featured hero.

They usually hint at the topic, next months topic is a Dark Horse Comics character.
Idk, the items usually seem cheap for the price. 1upbox and Geekfuel are both cheaper with better products.

Natasha

I agree with you that 1upbox and geekfuel are a better value. Like EC said, “all or nothing hit/flop if you don’t love the featured hero” for this sub box.

Thanks for the tips, I’ll check them out!

Pilar

I’am guessing it will be Hellboy.

Heathery

The shirt is probably $20. It’s part of a line of Avengers cereal shirts. I have the Loki Charms shirt lol.
