Now, onto the items! Some of the links to items are only for those with an account, so I’m linking to an accessible page for everyone.
You’ve Got Red On You T-Shirt - Value $20
Jordandené and BOOM!Box collaborated to bring you this shirt fit for a trip to The Winchester. It is super soft and in a ladies cut.
Twinkie - Value $0.42 (buy 60 for $25.15)
Yep...a Twinkie. I’d never actually had a Twinkie before this one, but I survived and certainly feel more prepared for doomsday prep food after eating it.
Dead Inside Nail Wraps - Value $10
These nails wraps are the most glam way to wear rotting zombies. Gold foil and glow-in-the-dark accents give just the right touch to these bloody wraps.
Wasteland Nail Wraps - Value $11
Each quarter, BOOM!Box includes an exclusive set of nail wraps for B!B subscribers. This quarter, these Wasteland inspired nail sheaths made the cut. They have a gloss and foil finish and promise to take 10 minutes to apply and last 2 weeks (like all of Espionage’s nail wraps). You can check out reviews of the nail wraps here.
Borderlands The Pre-Sequel! Nail Wraps - Value $10? (based on similar nail wraps)
They snuck in a third set of wraps this quarter! The theme for these wraps is Borderlands the Pre-Sequel.
No room for excuses, they included a nail file so you can stop scaring people with your lack of nail decor.
Heda Necklace - Value $15
This B!B exclusive necklace is made of faux leather and fit for a Commander. “Jus Drein Jus Daun” graces the seal to rile up your Grounder pride. The adjustable chain can be cut to whatever length you prefer.
Drylands Map - Bonus
You need art in your life and BOOM!Box is featuring an artist this quarter to help you. Jessica Freaxx has mapped out multiple dystopian worlds. Can you identify them all? Since this item is a bonus, I didn’t have a value link but I have linked to Freaxx site so you can check out more of her work.
Verdict: Wow, there is a lot going on in this box! I have to say, this theme is not my realm of fandom but I still think the curation is interesting. I’m kind of disappointed about there not being any cosmetics in the box and the necklace isn’t super-wearable for me since it is so niche. The value of this box is around $66, which is almost double the cost of the quarterly box ($30 + shipping charges).
What do you think of this month’s BOOM!Box? Are any of these items within your nerd knowledge?
