Product: Funko Wolverine Dorbz Vinyl Figure
Retail Value: $9.99
The Dorbz figure are super cute, including this Wolverine figure. It doesn't look like there were variations since the card specified Wolverine. He's one of my favorite characters so I'm glad I receive his figure.
Product: Catch-Them-All Sweatband
Retail Value: $2.00 (Estimated)
I'm actually not a Pokemon fan as I thought the show was too kiddy at the time. I was a kid but I was into more grown-up manga and anime shows. This item is pretty much a filler for us since we don't use sweatbands either.
Product: Exclusive Dragon Stress Ball
Retail Value: $3.00 (Estimated)
This is an exclusive stress ball featuring Dragon Ball. It's a neat idea, and I don't mind having a stress ball around.
Product: Exclusive Combat Panda Patch
Retail Value: $2.00 (Estimated)
A mashup of Kung-Fu Panda and Deadpool patch. I have a ton of iron-on patches from subscription boxes now. Only if my son were older! I can start putting them on his backpacks.
Product: Combat Sticker
Retail Value: $1.00 (Estimated)
This is a rounded sticker featuring some of the most iconic characters from combat games. Another filler item, in my opinion.
Product: Exclusive "Link vs Ink" T-Shirt
Retail Value: $14.99 (Estimated)
We like Zelda, but haven't played Splatoon. I like the t-shirt artwork, and I'm glad they used a gray background for the shirt itself. We get plenty of black t-shirts from other subscription boxes!

Final Thoughts: While I enjoyed this month's 1Up Box, I still feel that there are some filler items like sticker and iron-on patch. I honestly would prefer less items with better value. However, the Wolverine Dorbz is super cute and I do like their monthly t-shirts.
