Geek Fuel doesn't have themes, but you'll know 2-3 franchises in each month before it ships.

Each month includes a card that details each item in your box.

ED-209 Shirt - Value $15?

This month's exclusive shirt comes from Robocop and features ED-209!

geek-fuel-december-2016-0021

geek-fuel-december-2016-0022

I'm loving this Robocop shirt, but I'd also take anything Robocop related since I love the movie! The men's shirt comes in this darker blue, while the women's cut tee comes in a light, baby blue.

ED-209 seems like a real challenge for Robocop until you find his biggest weakness: Stairs.

Wizard Wear Winter Scarf - Value $10-15?

The next exclusive item was a Harry Potter themed scarf.

geek-fuel-december-2016-0010

It sports the classic Gryfinndor colors.

geek-fuel-december-2016-0011

The scarf is 95% Acrylic and 5% Spandex and did not react well to being steamed. It really just crinkled up. The scarf was also a bit short - it won't wrap twice around comfortably - overall, I was a disappointed with this one.

Epic Enamels Pin: Droid Edition - Value $5-10?

This little robot is the geek fuel mascot - this time it takes the form of R2D2!

geek-fuel-december-2016-0013

We received an Indiana Jones Droid pin last month - so this may, or may not, be an ongoing inclusion.

geek-fuel-december-2016-0015

The pins are really solid and well made - and easily have the best packaging for a pin I've seen in any box.

The World According To Iron Man Book - Value $17 on Amazon

You received either an Iron Man or Thor book - I got Iron Man.

geek-fuel-december-2016-0024

geek-fuel-december-2016-0025

I've received a bunch of these "World According To..." books - but these are bigger than the older books. Like the others, they have 3D elements to them - like this Iron Man suit that jumps off the page.

geek-fuel-december-2016-0026

geek-fuel-december-2016-0027

It's got some removable pieces as well.

geek-fuel-december-2016-0017

8-Bit Gift Wrap - Value $10?

We received this gift wrap last December as well.

geek-fuel-december-2016-0018

geek-fuel-december-2016-0019

It's the same paper as well year - but I don't think the gift recipient will hold a grudge.

Caveman Craig Steam Game - Value $10.99

This month's game is Caveman Craig. It's downloadable on Steam for both PC and Mac!

This is a unique strategy and survival game that pits you against fellow cavemen and dinos!

Verdict: I thought this month was pretty good for Geek Fuel. I really love the shirt this month, and I love trying out a new Steam game every month. Geek Fuel has had some great shirts lately - so the value is usually covered between the shirt and game! My biggest disappointment was the scarf this month - it was a good idea to include a Harry Potter item - but the odd size and shrinking material made it the low point for me.

Any word on what the bonus Star Wars item is?

I chose the Star Wars extra pack program for November (Black Friday bonus) and I got a Vader Down variant edition comic book from Marvel (with a certificate of authenticity), a Boba Fett sticker and Admiral Ackbar’s “It’s a Trap!” pillowcase. Not that thrilled with the sticker, but the pillowcase and the comic book were very nice. So you can probably expect some of those.

I haven’t heard – this is a recurring subscription, so we didn’t receive the bonus item.

As excited as I am because that’s my house and we hardly ever get represented, yellow and black is the Hufflepuff house (which is Newt Scamander’s house). The Gryffindor colors are scarlet and gold

Sorry if the picture made it look black, but the colors are a burgundy and gold.

aww, that’s a little disappointing. I thought it was a tie in with Fantastic Beasts 🙁
