Horror Block October 2014

October's Horror Block got to me here in the UK in super quick time this month, and oh boy did they knock it out of the park!!

First up, a Build Your Own Zombie! A fun modelling clay kit!

A very cool box of horror themed Cereal Killer stickers and cards with a fun spin on a well known cereal on each side of the box.

A blu ray of Puppet Master! I mean, it might not work on anything I have here due to region locking (I've yet to try) but that's such a cool item to get in a monthly box!

I got a copy of Fangoria, which is great as I've been trying to find this here in the UK and sometimes I'm lucky and I find it, but more often than not I don't see it here.

A new t-shirt which is great, a sweet Friday the 13th design which is very cool!!

But for me, the item of the month is this guy

This months Horror Block is absolutely worth the subscription fee! Very happy with this months delivery right before Halloween!

Go Figure!

Horror Block September

I received my first Horror Block recently - this is technically September's Block as it's released at the end of the month, and being in the UK it takes a bit more time to get here.

It's a fun box, but I was a little underwhelmed. On opening this Horror Block you get a cool Walking Dead reference.

In the box I found a Hannibal shirt - which was a replacement as the original shirt that was due to be in the box was short shipped. And honestly? I would have preferred the original t-shirt which was an It inspired shirt with Pennywise front and centre.

That's not to say that the Hannibal shirt is bad, I just would have liked the It one more!

A second shirt was included this month which I like more.

A ripped zombie shirt in the shape of a skull. Pretty cool looking for sure!

They also included a mask to combine with the tee for a quick Halloween costume - a Neca produced full head mask of Eddie from Iron Maiden

Included in this Horror Block to add to the costume was a packet of Costume Tattoos

Lastly, in the box was the new Rue Morgue book "Horror Movie Heroes"

All in all, it's not a great box, but I am looking forward to future boxes. This box wasn't totally for me, but it was certainly worth the price items wise.

More to come this Shocktober! 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!
