The Magical Things That Came In The November Loot Crate
One of the things that I am thankful for is the Loot Crate. As a collector each month I can’t wait to see what is in the crate. This month’s theme was magic. It had items from Dr. Strange, Fantastic Beasts, Big Trouble In Little China and MORE!
The crate came with an exclusive Doctor Strange Q-Fig made by Quantum Mechanix. The figure art is superb and you see Dr. Strange making a mystic shield while wearing the cloak of levitation. I really enjoyed the movie and felt that Benedict Cumberbatch did a great job playing Dr. Strange.
Another movie that is out in theaters is Fantastic Beasts and this month’s crate had a rare Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them Obliviator T-shirt made by Bioworld. Then there was the Game of Thrones “Melisandre” journal made by Caden Concepts that had The Red Woman with lettering that reads “The Night is Dark…” on one side, and “and Full of Terrors.” on the other side.
I also got the Big Trouble in Little China / Escape from New York #1 from BOOM! Studios which is a great read. I love the artwork in that book. The Loot Pin is an Elder Scrolls pin made by Loot Crate

Have You Seen The Earliest Show Yet?
There are a ton of morning shows out there, but there is a new show on TV that you should be watching. To be honest it is not like a typical morning show you see on the major networks. It is actually a spoof on these shows. It is being driven by Cap’n Crunch. The cereal brand is reinventing itself by tapping into the very spirit of the brand with innovative partnerships, content and collaborative programming that caters to the “man child.”
For its first act, the brand has partnered with Funny Or Die to co-produce a spoofy talk-show style digital series, “The Earliest Show” co-hosted by comedians Ben Schwartz (Parks and Rec and House of Lies) and Lauren Lapkus (Orange is the New Black). “The Earliest Show” pays tribute to the classic morning talk show with a twist; it’s happening in the middle of the night.
