Thomas Jenkins Loot Crate isn't for everyone, but it's nice to see that for the people that it IS for, it's no longer Fucking Inflatable Fucking Crowns and Shoelaces.
I do hope these bloody Pop figures are coming to an end now. I was in a shop last week and literally half the store was nothing but Pop Vinyl figures. That and Dad's Army merchandise in lieu of the upcoming reboot/movie.
***** I don't mind the pop figures, I think some of em are kinda cute, The only ones I want are the new Fallout ones, but the are never in stock here, half of my local shop is full of multi-colored batman pop figures........who wants a fucking orange batman? or a stupid bright green batman? Give us something decent like a Vault Boy or a Psycho from Borderlands.....sheesh.
McFly i know, it doesnt help that im not interested in stuff like this, but it just seems like a load of worthless crap every month. why anyone would pay actual money for this shit boggles the mind.
McFly The only way I would be satisfied would be if it had the money, but no badge or booklet. Or anything else. And the box was actually just an envelope.
Saw you at the Manchester Comic-Con in July, Ashens! I know it's late, but if you remember among the HUGE CROWD, I was the Swedish guy in the suit and beard. Job well done they did (/Sarcasm) with scheduling you for a Q&A without you knowing. Thanks for the pic, you were incredibly polite and it was a joy talking with you!
Evan knutson Nope! I assure you that I was definitely up at two in the morning watching this video XD It even says on my account that I commented at 02 : 04 exactly. But why would I lie about the time I watched a video anyway!?
Evan knutson I can confirm that at my time of watching its 00 : 30, the original comment was left 22 hours ago, meaning if he lives in the UK (like me) it would place the original comment at 2am.
This crate was my first ever crate and I'm more than happy with everything in it! I mean the apron? Perfect for breaking bad cosplay! and for cooking around the house! The mug? I LOVE IT! I have a small collection of nerdy mugs and this was perfect. The hydra pin? Probably my favorite! I would wear that with an every day outfit :) The Joker, Heck i love the JOKER! I have a joker collection and that joker was perfect! ^.^ I loved everything :) I even made an unboxing video but in cinematic version :P hehe
I hated this box, the mug ruined it for me. It's so cheap and ugly, I wouldn't be surprised if it was overstock Marvel's trying to get rid of. The apron was cool, but that was about it.
The mug may be ugly but it is in no way cheap. I've seen those mugs for sale online before and they cost around £20, yes they cost that much. So I have to give a bit of respect for loot crate for actually putting something in the box that's worth a lot of money. This is box is most likely the best value for money I've seen. Oh and as for dropping the mug from 2 inches. Any mug would probably break from that height.
Kelly G Agreed. you can buy mugs like that off Amazon for next to nothing, plus what was up with all those marks an scratches on it!?! i Liked the wooden Joker figure but they could of at least given him something to hold...
Crappiest crate for a while in my opinion. The mug I got was horribly painted, not even slightly well made either, with it already chipping. The hydra pin was nice enough, but I don't expect it to be one of four items in the bloody box. The wooden joker? Come on. You've had much nicer figurines before. And don't even get me started on the apron. Seriously? Yes quality is important lootcrate but I expect to have more than four bloody things in a box. If you threw in a T-shirt or something I would have been happy with it.
My grandma used to collect Toby jugs and had shelves and shelves of them lining the living room walls. As a child, they terrified me. As a young adult, they still terrify me.
Alevamltd Dont you think 10 thousand times is a bit too much? Given the fact that we do find an intresting story about Venom and its planet where we learn that symbiote are good but when went rouge cause of Eddie and the symbiotes fixed venom to be good again.
Ashens: "Well this is actually pretty nice, I like this" Ashens Thought: Dear Godie, I hope these fools at lootcrate believe me so I keep getting free recycled trash to sell online.
Hello mr.ashens! i have a pound land knock off of the N64 would you like it? It purchased the product because i wanted to see it reviewed on the channel because i think it would be a abousltue hilarious product to review and i am a really big fan off the channel.
1) the joker is working on his robot but its wooden 2) im so glad i never bought into this product based on ashens video. Thank you for saving me money! :D
The only honest box opening I've ever seen. I respect you, sir, for not sucking up to LootCrate and praising everything they send in the box! Also... #BlameAshens (Just because Ive been re-watching Chronicles of the Gray)
I find it kind of funny that, starting specifically with that one unboxing where you set an ultimatum on quality before simply cancelling your Lootcrate account, Lootcrate suddenly started upping their quality considerably.
Hey Steward, I decided to take a look back at some Loot Crate videos of old, but you don't have a playlist that contains them all. Wondered if that might be something you'd want to arrange for easy sifting.
Venom Mug - 14.99 USD Joker figure - 12.99 USD Hydra pin - 19.99 USD Pollos Hermanos apron - 19.99 USD That's not a bad crate, from a quick google search. I did hate the way the Venom mug was painted, though. Way too much gum.
Tip for cleaning crevices in tea mugs. Use a thingie like Steradent. You know, the tablets for cleaning dentures. Gets stains out a treat. I'm the owner of a skull mug.
I unsubscribed after the Cyber crate arrived - after the original got "lost" and two replacements were sent out (first replacement got "lost" as well). I had already forgotten about them by the time I got a note to go to the post office and collect 3 boxes. Two were the same, one was different size, so I though hey, compensation for all the two months and half of trouble I had to deal with ( their customer service is not a particularly great experience, not to mention for international delivery we pay extra). When I got home, I noticed two of the address tags saying France not Finland, but the third (a smaller one) was correct. After opening, two were indeed the Cyber crates (the original and the first replacement), but the small crate was actually from the Covert theme a while back. Ironically, the Covert crate was the one that got me with subscription, and was the last I'll ever get from them.
We sell a variety of those mugs at my work. They're always scratched. No one buys them because they're kind of pricey and they're damaged straight from the factory.
+Infellous Kazkari You're right about early Captain America being pretty OTT as far as patriotism, but Marvel did learn a lot from that. Not only do the two new movies do things a lot better -- they focus on him believing in an idealized version of America but realizing that it doesn't fit what's currently here -- but even the comics learn their lesson over time. Heck, Marvel's character The Nomad was born from Captain America losing his faith in the US to the point he refused to use its name or flag to represent him. Admittedly The Nomad had his own problems (mostly caused by his cape,) but it's still worth noting that even Marvel can learn when they've taken a character's loyalty to something too far.
Nice to see Loot Crate focusing on Quality over Quantity.
+TheBrianJ
i still wouldn't buy it, but it's still a marked improvement. 2 of the items actually had a use beyond taking up space on a shelf, too.
Thomas Jenkins Loot Crate isn't for everyone, but it's nice to see that for the people that it IS for, it's no longer Fucking Inflatable Fucking Crowns and Shoelaces.
***** Did you even read TheBrianJ's comment before posting your own?
***** That wooden joker thingy didn't look like good quality item.
Rentta
what do you expect out of something made entirely out of wood? i'll take it over any of the cheap pop vinyl figures.
*They should have an Ashens Loot Crate theme and the whole box be filled with fucking inflatable fucking crowns!*
TheEnterestingEnderman He did make his own. You cannot get them any longer - but they do exist.
Noremaad It was as bad as the real ones.
TheEnterestingEnderman Im Gonna Be Getting This Today I Guess But I Was thinking F*CK WHY THIS IS CRAP I HOPE MY MUG IS GOOD
TheEnterestingEnderman They might get into trouble trying to sell a fucking crown, you'd have to be 18+ to get that crate.
TheEnterestingEnderman Somebody should send him a used luutcraet box with new dates filled with fucking inflatable fucking crowns!
I do hope these bloody Pop figures are coming to an end now. I was in a shop last week and literally half the store was nothing but Pop Vinyl figures.
That and Dad's Army merchandise in lieu of the upcoming reboot/movie.
***** Agreed. They fill the shelves that could hold much cooler figurines or fancy dice sets in my local comic store.
***** And now I'm seeing Captain Mainwaring as a pop vinyl figure.... and it works!
***** I don't mind the pop figures, I think some of em are kinda cute, The only ones I want are the new Fallout ones, but the are never in stock here, half of my local shop is full of multi-colored batman pop figures........who wants a fucking orange batman? or a stupid bright green batman? Give us something decent like a Vault Boy or a Psycho from Borderlands.....sheesh.
***** There's a reboot coming out? With Rowan?
Bungis Albondigas
Rowan Atkinson? No, I don't think he's involved. The trailer is out already.
The only way I would be satisfied with a Loot Crate would be if the very last item on the bottom of the box was the money I paid for it.
McFly i know, it doesnt help that im not interested in stuff like this, but it just seems like a load of worthless crap every month. why anyone would pay actual money for this shit boggles the mind.
Nice
+Sad Onion 2nd that
Sad Onion so you can clutter your house with shit
McFly The only way I would be satisfied would be if it had the money, but no badge or booklet. Or anything else. And the box was actually just an envelope.
Oh wow, the Joker, that's something you never, ever see anywhere these days!
"And he's actually grown a goatee in honor of the mighty Walter White."
Oh look who's talking.
he will never get over that fucking crown will he...
*good*
3:10 I was disappointed when he didn't say "a fucking inflatable fucking crown"
10:56 he said it
bobepic 246 Why would you put the time stamp after he said it?
+paws27 what? I'm confused
Nope he says it at 12:23
DERPUSLORD nice try but I looked at the length of the video first.
The naming of the crates is getting more and more creative.
The wooden Joker looks like a character in Prison Simulator
Loot Crate. Keeping landfills everywhere topped up since 2012.
Saw you at the Manchester Comic-Con in July, Ashens!

That apron is great. First loot crate thing so far I've genuinely wanted
Tons of people will get the "Of Mice and Men" reference as it is the book people study for GCSE for the last few years and a few years from now.
Actually they discontinued it.
Next year they're doing some other shit.
Lime Doe I never studied it at GCSE, but it's a classic novel most people should/do know about, even if they never read it.
10ftChampion when did you finish year 11?
A year or two ago
10ftChampion I finished it 2 years ago and we were doing Of Mice and Men.
It's two in the morning
and I should have been asleep hours ago, but hey, I'll watch this instead of sleeping XD

I got a carnage mug, not venom.
+Mateo Gonzalez No they're different. The Carnage mug doesn't have the tongue for one thing.
Ryan Smithington just looked up what it looks like would almost prefer that one over venom
Ryan Smithington That's cool. I always liked the design for Carnage more than Venom's
Racist
Jk
Ryan Smithington Carnage is pretty awesome too though, was it as cool?
Message to Ashens: Just watched your film and found very entertaining thank you.
05:00 - I'll tell you what that reminds me of. The drummer from the virtual band Gorillaz.
Oh wow, it had the Joker in it. Didn't fucking see that coming...
I googled toby mug....... never again
I'm frightened

I loved everything :) I even made an unboxing video but in cinematic version :P hehe
Glad to see LC is picking up the pace and actually making their crates more worthwhile
I hated this box, the mug ruined it for me. It's so cheap and ugly, I wouldn't be surprised if it was overstock Marvel's trying to get rid of. The apron was cool, but that was about it.
***** I wouldn't be against trying it.
+Kelly G When I saw the size of the box the mug was in I was expecting something impressive but holy crap that venom mug is ugly.
Kelly G After seeing that Venom mug I find myself pondering what Michael Jackson would have looked like as a member of the band KISS...
The mug may be ugly but it is in no way cheap. I've seen those mugs for sale online before and they cost around £20, yes they cost that much. So I have to give a bit of respect for loot crate for actually putting something in the box that's worth a lot of money. This is box is most likely the best value for money I've seen.

They have that same exact Venom mug at a shop near me for about $10. They also have a Carnage mug.
UNBOX INFLATABLE ALIENS OR A BLOW UP DOLL!

***** He points out its a OMAM reference right after he says it, gotta try pretty hard to not notice it lol.
George shoots Lennie
The book sucks so bad.
That Venom mug is badass
when are you going to do loot crate??
I only came for the inflatable crown reference, I wasn't disappointed.
Hydra merch really skeevs me out, considering that they're literally nazis?
WhiteN0iz They're not nazi's, they're the group of terrorists led by HItler's evil apprentice who thinks Hitler has no ambition!

+Jyuim Suien Space Ultra Neo Nazis?
***** Atleast you know it would have some value
+WhiteN0iz they are a fictious subgroup of nazis, they are not "Litterally nazis"
Captain America is still ten-thousand times more interesting as a character than Venom could ever hope to be.
Yea I said it, come at me bro.

Those pop vinyls are like crap bobbleheads.
***** Is there any other kind?
I liked captain america and I wasn't even planning to watch it! Ticket guy directed us to the wrong screen and nobody complained.
Rather than "Villains" being related to DC and Marvel, it should relate to real Villains such as Charles Manson or Obama.
Obama, seriously? Idiot
I'd love to have that apron, it's awesome.

It took me way too long to realise that it was little kids keeping these guys in business.
I dont not miss the toilet paper from school im pretty sure it was 100% tracing paper
bloody hell are we still doing these?

Wait for it ... 10:53 ... the (in)famous fuckin-inflatable-fuckin-crown!
gotta love how you always fall back to that thing :-)
I am so happy loot crate isn't focusing on quantity anymore this month really impressed me
I love that he's still mad about the crown. Made my day!!!!
Ok you win, you mentioned Blake's 7. You are even more awesome than I thought.
Loved that "Of Mice and Men" reference.
I loved the mug because I got the one molded like Carnage
I like the joker figurine! Looks like this month's crate isn't too bad.
Toby Jugs are an entire figure and not as you say the face. Mugs that feature just the face are called character jugs. Big difference.
+Lee OfBacup I saw that QI episode as well. :-P
Dylan Greene Hahahaha. QI, teaching everyone useless bits of interesting knowledge ;)
I don't think I've ever seen a loot crate which looked like it was full of anything I'd consider high quality yet, this one included
Had to thumbs up for the childhood memory of tracing paper toilet paper at school haha

I got a Rubik's Cube stress cube and a Ghost Busters Slimer plush in a metal ammo box in the Nerd block .
To be honest, that Venom mug looks like someone's school project in pottery class.
They have really pulled out all the stops lately. Well done, Loot Crate. I think I might resubscribe if next months is as good as this one.
You saying "mate" made My day
Ashens, if you really want to use Venom Mug for drinking, simply superglue a smaller cup into the cavity if the mug. Or just stick it on a shelf.
Another triumph Stewart, another triumph. We are looking at the new Frank Bough.
Hearing Ashens do a mexican accent at 2:28 is amazing

Out of all of the ones you've opened so far, I feel this one was the least revolting.
You go onto RUclips spotlight, cheers mate! you did good headmaster Stewart for the win
Your point about mugs...having had and drunk from a moulded Shrek head for a couple of years, I feel your pain.
I wanted to watch that StateFarm Coneheads commercial again. XD
I used to keep my Sharpies in a mug but ended up with so many I had nothing left to drink out of - they're all in a shoebox now.
