Get Your Game On! - January's Loot Anime Box!
By: MithrandielPhew, it's been a crazy few weeks, and in sorting through my closet I realized that I completely neglected my most recent Loot Anime shipment!January's theme is "Game On!" - drawing from video game inspired anime series, with Shadow the Hedgehog taking center stage as the figure for the month. But first - apparel!That's right Steins;Gate fans - rejoice! You've got a shirt to sport your fandom! The off-white color is just enough to make you think "Sure, I won't stain this one..." as you settle down into your bed of lies. A great addition for fans of A) Steins;Gate B) anime and C) wearing clothes in public.I know what you're thinking - Mithrandiel, that shirt is great and everything...but it needs something else - some flair maybe...Well say no more! The folks at Loot Anime were kind enough to include some awesome pins this month to accompany your newest shirt!These pins (which I think I got a duplicate of...) are from the hit comedy anime Is It Wrong To Pick Up Girls in A Dungeon? They are Grade-A cool and would make a great addition to your overloaded convention bag!Also bundled in is volume 1 of the Final Fantasy Type-0 manga:As a big fan of Type-0 myself I definitely appreciated this addition to the box.Solid art style and a great introduction to the world of Type-0, it sets you on the path of the remaining volumes - of which there are currently 5.Now for the main event:This month's figure is Shadow the Hedgehog. Though not the iconic "Blue Blur", Shadow has gained notoriety in previous years and definitely gets a chance to shine with this solid figure release.The stand features a large Ring as his backdrop, and Shadow is designed in such a way that he can stand on his own, rather than locking into the bottom-plate. Overall, another solid entry from Loot Anime. Though, I did feel that it was a bit thinner than previous months. The Yoshitaka Amano artbook they included in November's box, or something like it, may have been a more fitting addition and helped to round out the "bang for your buck" factor.Certainly looking forward to seeing what February has to offer!
