Nerd Block Review ~ February 2014

My son came home to his very first subscription box!  He just opened up the February 2014 Nerd Block and was tickled to death over its contents.

Every month Nerd Block releases a limited edition t-shirt created by Shirt Punch.  Here is February's shirt with Metroid on it.

Halo Action Clix, Red Spartan Battle Pack ($5.71) ~ This set features three Halo figures for the 2007 ActionClix game.  They are approximately 2" tall with a rotating base that "clicks" when turned.  We received Major Elite, Master Chief, and Spartan.

Power Rangers Megaforce Mashems Capsule ($2) ~ This little collectible is almost 2" high.  It's actually very fun to play with.  We are having a blast squishing this thing!  Inside was the pink ranger.

The Smurfs Tag-athon Collectible Game Piece ($0.99) ~ Here is a booster pack containing one collectible miniature game piece for the The Smurfs, No Smurf Left Behind Game.  The game was released in 2011 with the first Smurf movie.  My son got Smurfette.  She is 2" tall and will be added to our McDonald's Smurf collection!

Playful Gorilla Presents the 80's Gelaskins for Smartphones ($5) ~ I think I'm going to take these because my son is too young to appreciate them!  This is a sheet of repositionable stickers for your electronic devices.  Playful Gorilla has created fantastic one-of-a-kind animation art for our most beloved 80's cartoon characters.  I was so proud when my daughter asked if that was Jem!  The characters include Jem, Duke, Megatron, He-Man, Battlecat, Voltron, Optimus Prime, Cobra Commander, Lion-O, and Panthro

E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial Collectible Miniature Figurine ($2) ~ These were released in 2012 to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the iconic movie, E.T.   This is a blind box assortment item.  Our E.T. figure is intricately detailed with a blue button down shirt and stands about 1.5" high.  I don't know how many times I watched this movie as a child.  

The Walking Dead Minimates Alice & Shoulder Zombie ($6.75) ~ Minimates are made by Diamond Select Toys.  Each figure is 2" tall and has 14 points of articulation, making them super-posable!  This package is from Series 4 of The Walking Dead collection.  Interchangeable parts and accessories (stands & gun) are included.

My son is five years old and thinks the figurines are great!  Even though he is not familiar with Metroid, he liked the graphics on the shirt.  I really enjoyed the walk down memory lane with the Playful Gorilla stickers, Smurf game piece, and E.T. collectible.  All of the prices listed are approximations.  I am in no means an expert on the items listed above.  This is just my newest hobby, in which I can express my personal views and opinions!
