Good To Know: This box doesn't have themes or info cards.

This box doesn't come with a card or have monthly themes. Although, an argument can be made that this month has two themes - TMNT and Marvel.

TMNT Party Rockin' Shirt - Value $17.95 on Amazon

I'm a 32-year-old man who grew up on the TMNT arcade games, cartoons, and movies - so you can see why the child in me is excited to wear this shirt! While I prefer a good understated geeky shirt now, this is still awesome.

Raphael Pocket POP - Value $7.82 on Amazon

This month came with a Funko item as well - this TMNT Pocket POP. I'm not sure if there was any variation to these, but I received Raphael.

Since this is a heavily themed TMNT box, I started looking around at older TMNT clips and was quickly reminded of my favorite Raphael moment from the first movie:

You just can't beat that first movie!

I digress. Back to the items!

Here's a look at Raph!

TMNT Lunch Box - Value $11.79 on Amazon

I would have LOVED this item when I was younger and obsessed with TMNT.

It's got the classic 'Turtle Power' graphic on the back.

Here's a look inside the lunch box - it's pretty spacious.

TMNT Drinking Glass - Value $5?

I can't find this exact glass online, but there were a number of similar glasses to compare it to. The glass I received had my personal favorite turtle on one side, Michaelangelo.

With Leo on the on the other side.

Wolverine String Doll - Value $5 on Amazon

One of the things that I loved just as much as the turtles when I was young, was the X-Men. I'm not sure why these string dolls are a thing - I'm not even sure that I'd like it as a kid (but probably, since it's Wolverine).

Here's a look at the doll.

Deadpool Air Freshener - Value $6.49 on Amazon

Hulk Pin

The final two items felt like filler to me. I can't understand how an air freshener would cost $6, but I'm simply reflecting what Amazon is telling me.

Verdict: This was a fun box for me because it brought back a lot of memories. I wonder how much money I had dumped into arcade machines between the TMNT games and the X-Men arcade game - I probably don't want to know. They seem to be grouping some items together recently, and while it's still a complete mystery box - they are somewhat catering to a couple franchises in the past couple boxes.
