Product: Los Pollos Hermanos Apron (50/Fifty)
Retail Value: $29.99
This Breaking Bad apron is awesome. If you've never watched the show, you should. The apron is one-size fits all, and machine washable. I was just thinking about Halloween costumes for this year, and I think this would actually make a great Breaking Bad costume.
Product: Exclusive The Joker Wooden Figure (DC Collectibles)
Retail Value: $12.99
DC Collectibles makes a couple wooden figures for characters such as Batman and Superman, but The Joker is exclusive to Loot Crate subscribers.
Product: Carnage 3D Mugs (Surreal Entertainment)
Retail Value: $12.00 (Estimated)
Subscribers will either receive Venom or Carnage. This mug is being listed on eBay for around $10-$15, so I estimated the price based on other mugs and listing prices. According to the description, this mug can hold 16 ounces of beverage, but is hand wash only.
Product: Captain America Hydra Pin (eFX Collectibles)
Retail Value: $20.00
If you purchase this from the eFX Collectible site, it's $20 plus shipping. It is a full scale replica of the lapel pin seen in Captain America: The First Avenger. The cast is from the actual screen used prop. It is all metal with two butterfly pins to prevent rotating.

Final Thoughts: As Loot Crate promised, this month's box had less items (fluff), but products with higher value. I wish they did that with some of my favorite past boxes! This is a great villains box if you are a fan of the represented series/characters. Personally, I liked everything except the mug because there's something not-so-appetizing about drinking out of a Carnage mug.
