February ZBox: Undead from Zavvi

Zavvi, a UK online based store, has started their own monthly subscription box. It's been going for a couple of months now but when I heard that this month was going to be undead themed, I thought I'd pay the £20, and see what I got.

First up it comes with the kind of mandatory magazine that sub boxes come with now.

Zombie socks! This is a fun addition to this box for sure, and they're nice and soft!

A nice Mini Mates set based on The Walking Dead, including Dexter and Dreadlock Zombie.

The music of John Carpenter's The Fog on a nice green coloured vinyl.

A DVD of "Zombies: A Living History" documentary from the History Channel.

A pack of zombie badges that are kind of fun.

Quite a cool car sticker showing that you're permitted to hunt zombies in the UK.

A brain licker candy sweet.

And of course, a t-shirt. This is a very cool design though!

Lastly, I just want to show off the inside of the box, it's a nice touch to put this detail in.

Will I order the next one? Not sure yet. It is Retro themed, so I'm tempted, and this isn't a bad box, but these monthly subscription boxes can be really hit and miss...

Go Figure!

My Geek Box September

I got my very first My Geek Box this month, and I have to say I'm pretty impressed.

It comes in a big blue box with some graphics on it and is filled with geeky fun! This month was apocalypse themed - let's take a look...

Taking a look in, this is what I saw...

Firstly I got a little My Geek Box magazine that is due to be a regular fixture featuring interviews with cosplayers and the like, and a flyer for a zombie survival experience

I got a copy of the Max Brooks authored World War Z

A glow stick for when the power eventually dies

And a Twinkie for much needed sustenance (that I gave to my wife as she's a Twinkie fan!)

I also got a toy! Aw yeah! A Funko Mystery Mini The Walking Dead mini-figure! I stopped watching the show about half way through the third season, it really wasn't holding my attention. The comics are excellent though, and as a mystery mini fan, this was always going to be a win.

I was hoping for a zombie, but I was pretty happy with the character I got. As with all of these mystery minis, the figure is blind bagged as well as being blind boxed

So you want to know who I got...

I got Merle Dixon and - this is the cool part - it's the blood spattered variant!

I really like that it's the knife hand Merle too, he's a very nice minifig with neat paint and a great sculpt. But at this point, it's too be expected from Funko.

And finally we come to the monthly tee - every month My Geek Box send a t-shirt. This months tee is a very yellow offering themed on the hit videogame Fallout

It's just a regular round neck tee, bright yellow, with pipboy proclaiming the coming apocalypse

I'm not a fan of the Fallout games, but this is quite a fun shirt which I'm sure I'll rock at some point!

For £16.99 a month, I think it's a pretty good deal and I'm certainly willing to give this another few months to see what is offered. I'm looking forward to next months as it's Nightmare themed for Halloween, which is incidentally my favourite time of year. I'll be sure to do an unboxing for it so stick around!
