Let's move onto the box, shall we?

This month's theme is "HEROES." Loot Crate says: "...every Villain needs a Hero and every Hero, well, you get it."

First look

Loot Crate now has a card that indicates you are an official member! I'm in the 100,000
+...


Here are the items inside the box:


August 2014 issue

TMNT Full Figure (Value of $10.00): I'm not a fan of The Mutant Ninja Turtles, but hey! It glows in the dark!

Funko POP! Groot Exclusive (Value of $11.99): I AM GROOT! Horray for a Guardians of the Galaxy! If I had to get another one, I would love to get Rocket Raccoon.



TMNT Mask Glasses (Value of $6.50): I tried these on, and boy did I look ridiculous in it!

Shoe Lightning Bolts (Value of $8.95): An item from The Flash! I'll probably use them during Halloween. (:

Mega Man Air Fresheners: I don't have a car (yet), but SOON I will! I wonder what the Sonic one smells like. I would prefer cool fresh (assuming it's mint) than apple cinnamon.

Magnet (2x3.5): A Deadpool item! The magnet reminds me of Kellogg's, haha.

August's 2014 Button

Bonus Digital Loot (Value of $5.00?): Given by Loot Crate, we are given exclusive codes to 11 Doctors, Defense Grid: The Awakening, and Gauntlet. I may use the Doctor Who code, the others, I'm not interested.

Overall:
I enjoyed this month's Loot Crate! Especially after receiving Groot! :D

One last look at the box!

If placed upwards, it's TNT's hideout!

OiishiBox August 2014 Subscription Box Review

Disclaimer: This post may contain referral links.

OishiiBox is a monthly Asian snack subscription box. You get a variety of snack goodies from Korea, Japan, Taiwan, and else where! A great thing about this box is that a portion of each purchase goes to UNICEF!



Cost: $12.00 (You can only buy monthly boxes manually for now)
Ships to: U.S.
Ships via: USPS (It took me 4-5 business days). OishiiBox is shipped and delivered within the first two weeks of the month.
Let's move onto the box, shall we?

First look

This month's box is smaller than July's, but there are full sized snacks ! There was no monthly card included in the box.

Here are the items inside the box:


Oreo Soft Cookies: Meh. This cookie was alright. It's green tea flavored and when I opened it, it looked like a whoopie pie.

Rice Crackers: These tasted really fried and salty.
KitKat: It smelled like coffee when I opened it O:. But I believe this is white chocolate flavored? Either way, I enjoyed it.


Poifull: A Meiji product! These are sour jelly beans in four different flavors: Grape, passion fruit, lemon, and raspberry.

Hello Kitty Biscuits with Chocolate Cream: These are basically like Meiji's Yan Yan. Still delicious!


Pretz Fried: I've never tried Pretz from Thailand, and wow. These aren't bad! Reminds me of the fried bread used in porridge.

Pretz Pizza: Another product from Thailand. You can smell the pizza flavor when you take a piece out. I'm pretty sure the Asian markets around my area doesn't sell these. The closest flavor I can relate to is the tomato flavored Pretz.



Overall: (Oh no, I forgot to take picture of everything together! D: I was really tempted to eat them after I took the photos) Although the box is a lot smaller this month, I enjoyed that we got some full sized snacks! 

If you've subscribed to OishiiBox, what are your opinions? Which snacks are your favorite?
