Start A Revolution With Our Latest Loot Crate!
As if this was purposefully timed to come out after one of the most unpopular elections in modern history, Loot Crate’s latest takes up the theme of revolution. From Firefly to Mr. Robot and Assassin’s Creed, the swag in this crate celebrates franchises that challenge its characters to defy authority, which results in some pretty great loot!
Starting with this Firefly patch, the design was commissioned based on some of the original artwork to give fans of the Joss Whedon cult classic an authentic feeling piece of merchandise to show off their fandom with.
Next, the T-Shirt for the month is based on the Mr. Robot design, with its message plainly printed underneath the graphic. Not quite Guy Fawkes, but an interesting way to be a giant nerd while displaying your fandom AND your dedication to all things revolutionary.
To celebrate the movie and the theme, we get two pieces of Assassin’s Creed loot. The first one is a Funko Pop featuring Aguilar, the character featured in the film based on the game. The pin on the other hand, will be more familiar to people who have stuck strictly with the games, the series logo looks great in gold. Too bad something so flashy would give away a stealthy killer’s position in an instant.
Lastly, for my favorite item in the crate, this art book displaying figures in dynamic poses to set up some incredible scenes has some really fun images to sift through. Revolution doesn’t always mean fighting the system, but changing our way of thinking about established mediums. More than anything else here, I felt that Figure Fantasy: The Pop Culture Photography of Daniel Picard fits that idea so well. If nothing else, it gives me hope that the thousands of dollars I’ve invested in toys might become something productive down the road. Now, to find motivation…
