This month's box unfolded into a temple - this is my favorite box transformation yet!

It's also a great setting for Lara!

The box always is accompanied by a booklet and themed pin. In the booklet, you can get details about each item in your Loot Gaming box.

Here is a better look at the 'Stranded' pin. A survival knife planted on a deserted island - can't get much more 'Stranded' than that.

Far Cry Primal Shirt - Value $15?

This month's shirt features Far Cry: Primal. Pretty much every single Far Cry game has been great. I haven't had a chance to play Primal, but I can pretty much guarantee that it's an awesome and fun game. Any Far Cry fans out there want to chime in?

Lara Croft Vinyl Figure - Value $10-15?

This is a little vinyl version of Lara Croft - she's the size of a Funko Mystery Mini. Major complaint - the figure can't stand! Her head has too much weight and is tilted forward - so the figure just falls over all the time. I would have liked to see them include some type of base with this specific figure.

Also - How has it been 20 years already!? Does anyone remember the first time you faced the T-Rex in the first Tomb Raider?

I remember this game as being groundbreaking for this genre - at least for myself. Also, I thought the graphics "looked real". It was a simpler time.

I love the current gen reboot of Tomb Raider. A lot. It's one of the best  adventure game lines out today - I highly recommend giving it a try if you haven't.

Assassin's Creed Black Flag Flask - Value $10-15?

Next up is a flask from Assassin's Creed: Black Flag. This is the only Assassin's Creed that I got fully engrossed in - even though I know there are some awesome Assassin' Creed titles aside from it.

Here's a better look at the embroidered logo in the faux-leather. It's a cool item - and it's appropriate to the game itself.

Speaking of the first time seeing the T-Rex in the original Tomb Raider - I still remember battling the White Whale in Black Flag - that was a great moment when you finally won that battle.

Dead Island Banoi Resort Towel - Value $25-30?

This falls into the "hardest item to photograph" category for me. It's a large (30x60) 100% cotton towel. It's nicely done, too. It's a resort towel from Banoi Royal Palms Resort - the setting for the game Dead Island. Naturally, the island is overrun by zombies - so what you're left with is the aftermath towel.

Verdict: Loot Gaming seems to be going down the 'quality over quantity' route - which I appreciate. There's no filler in the box - and I thought these were unique items. While the titles weren't ones that I often play - except Tomb Raider - I still like the items a lot! I am disappointed that my favorite item, the vinyl figure, can't really be displayed since it just falls all the time - I'll be on the look out for solutions. Overall, this is a good box - it might even be a great box had I loved each title.

Is it possible you missed a stand that was in the box for Lara? I have the whole set of Firefly Funko Pop! figures, and the girls (Zoey and Kaylee) are so top-heavy they’d certainly fall over without the stands, and the stands are transparent plastic that are nearly impossible to notice in the package if you didn’t know they were there.

Unfortunately no – there was no stand for that figure. You’re totally right – those stands are tough to see in the POP packaging sometimes!
