Funko Star Wars Smuggler's Bounty Subscription Box - Jabba's Palace [July 2016 Unboxing]

The July 2016 Funko Star Wars Smuggler's Bounty Box is here! I received it quite late because I cancelled my subscription and on the very last day, when I saw the countdown clock, I changed my mind and re-subscribed! The theme this month was Jabba's Palace; Funko advertised this as the largest box they have released for Smuggler's Bounty. I probably should have heeded the warnings from subscribers of the Marvel Collector Corps - bigger isn't necessarily better (I'm looking at you, Guardians of the Galaxy Box).

Anyway, here's a look at what we received this month. Jabba the Hutt is featured on the front of the box.

A patch and a pin are guaranteed in each box. For the patch, we get Boussh, who is actually Leia in disguise when she goes to Jabba's Palace to rescue Han from his carbonite prison.

The pin features a Gamorrean guard - he's the one that gets eaten by the Rancor!

We get another Funko Pop! Home item - a Jabba mug! I'm not a big fan of the Funko mugs due to the odd shapes of them; it makes them really hard to drink from or to store in the cupboard. I definitely don't want to be using a Jabba mug, but my friend said I can use it to hold snacks and use it as a reminder to myself not to eat too much in case I turn into Jabba the Hutt!

Funko introduced a new line in this box - Pop Tops. They are snapback caps and unfortunately I don't look good in them! This one has C3PO on it - Programmed for Etiquette.

Another new line they debuted in this month's box are Funko Plush. Very similar to their Mopeez line, it's just a plush toy with a bean bag bottom so they can sit upright. We get Boba Fett this month, though I think it would have fit last month's box better (Bounty Hunter theme).

We get one Funko Pop - R2-D2 when he has to serve drinks on Jabba's Skiff. It has a similar mold as other R2-D2 pops with an addition of a drink tray on top. I think a lot of fans were expecting Han Solo in carbonite and not a re-make of R2-D2.

I wasn't that big of fan of the items in this box and I wish I didn't re-subscribe! I blame it on a surprise addiction. :P

The Smuggler's Bounty box is available in Canada and the US only and ships out every other month. The cost of the box is $25 usd + $14 shipping to Canada ($7 shipping in the US), with a guaranteed value of $50. The September theme is Death Star.

Funko Star Wars Smuggler's Bounty Subscription Box - Bounty Hunter [May 2016 Unboxing]

I forgot to cancel my subscription to Funko's Smuggler's Bounty so here is the May 2016 box! The theme was Bounty Hunter and once I received the box, I knew I wouldn't be disappointed! The box comes with Boba Fett on the front.

Once you open up the box, you see the patch and pin. There is a Bounty Hunters Boba Fett iron-on patch. I love this! We also receive a Bossk pin. 

Unfortunately we don't get a cute Funko Pop shirt this month again. Instead I got a navy blue tshirt that features a bunch of bounty hunters. It's pretty neat!

We got two Funko Pops again! One is a new mold of Boba Fett blasting off with his jetpack.

Here is a closer look. The details are pretty amazing.

The other is bounty hunter IG-88. I actually really like the look of this!

He holds two blasters.

I thought this box was a little sparse on items; usually there is one more filler item such as a lanyard or pen.

The Smuggler's Bounty box is available in Canada and the US only and ships out every other month. The cost of the box is $25 usd + $14 shipping to Canada ($7 shipping in the US), with a guaranteed value of $50. The July theme is Jabba's Palace.

Funko Star Wars Smuggler's Bounty Subscription Box - First Order [November 2015 Unboxing]

I've been bitten by the subscription box bug! I have resisted all the cool, geeky subscription boxes for a long time like Loot Crate, 1Up Box and even Funko's Marvel Collectors Corps...but when Funko announced they were releasing a Star Wars subscription box, and one of the items was a chrome Captain Phasma bobble head...I had to have it! The Smuggler's Bounty Box debuted in November this year, with The Force Awakens theme to coincide with the Star Wars Episode VII movie coming out this December. All the items included are exclusive to the subscription box. 

And here it is! Each box is self contained so there is no combined shipping available if you decide to order more than one. The box art was pretty cool, with Kylo Ren on the front. 

When you first lift up the box cover, you get another layer that has an iron patch featuring a first order TIE fighter pilot and a lapel pin with Kylo Ren. They each have Aurebesh characters on them, which is the only written language in the Star Wars universe, and I believe it translates into Smuggler's Bounty, but don't hold me to that!

Underneath that flap on the box, the t-shirt is revealed! I was super excited to receive the Captain Phasma one, the one I wanted!! There were four variants that were sent out - in addition to Captain Phasma, there was also Kylo Ren, a stormtrooper and a snowtrooper. Unfortunately the shirt was way too large for me (I'm using it as pjs!) so if you order, keep in mind that you might have to order a size down (they only come in men's sizes).  

Underneath that, the Funko Pops! The chrome-plated Captain Phasma bobble head was guaranteed to be in the box but the other one was kept a secret. I received a TIE Fighter Pilot bobble head. There was a variant available as well, a Special Forces TIE Fighter Pilot, which is identical to the one I received but with two red stripes down the helmet. I think it's pretty cool they printed "Smuggler's Bounty Exclusive" right on the box of the Pop, instead of dealing with stickers.

 

The last item tucked in the box was a Star Wars The Force Awakens lanyard with cute Funko Pop style stormtroopers. I think this will be a good replacement for my old lanyard.

The Smuggler's Bounty box is available in Canada and the US only and ships out every other month. The cost of the box is $25 usd + $14 shipping to Canada ($7 shipping in the US), with a guaranteed value of $50. I was a little bummed that the shipping was more than half the cost of the box!  After the crappy exchange rate, the total cost for me was $52.42 CAD. I meant to cancel my subscription after the initial box, but it looks like the January box is The Resistance themed...Guess I'll be continuing!
