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 - Cantina [March 2016 Unboxing]

I cancelled my subscription to Smuggler's Bounty but when Funko released a hint about what was in the box, I had to resubscribe! There was a bit of trouble of re-subscribing due to a payment error on their website, but after some back and forth with customer service, I was good to go!

My box arrived quite early this month, with it arrive last week. The theme this month was Cantina and the box came with an adorable picture of Greedo.


Like all Funko subscription boxes, a pin and patch are included. The pin features a cantina band member and the patch has Greedo.



Next there was a Chewbacca Pop Pen. Funko recently started releasing these pens in stores, mostly Marvel characters. I believe they run around $6-8 in stores in Canada.


There were four designs for the t-shirts this month. All of them are "Wanted" shirts. I was hoping for Han Solo, but I got Muftak insead. I was hoping for another Funko Pop shirt but I guess they don't do that every time!


Finally, there were two Funko Pops included this month. The clue that they gave was that both were new molds and one was going to be Ben Kenobi. There is a Obi-Wan Kenobi pop already with his hood up but the Ben has his hood off and is holding a light saber.


The next is a Red Snaggletooth - one of the random aliens found in the Cantina scene. There was also a 1 in 5 chance of receiving the chase Blue Snaggletooth! The Blue Snaggletooth is in reference to the action figure that Kenner made in 1978 - they only had a black and white photo of the character as reference but the alien in the movie wore red and not blue.


I wasn't a huge fan of the items this month but you can't say the value isn't there!


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 May theme is Bounty Hunter.

Funko Star Wars Smuggler's Bounty Subscription Box - The Resistance [January 2016 Unboxing]

The January Funko Smuggler's Bounty box has arrived! The theme this month is The Resistance, also from Star Wars The Force Awakens. The adorable BB8 is printed on the front of the box. The box was pretty hefty....


 This is what you first see when you flip over the cover of the box:


 All the Funko subscription boxes comes with an iron patch and a lapel pin. We got a very cute BB8 patch this month.


And also a resistance x-wing fighter pilot. I'm not sure if it is supposed to be Poe Dameron or not...if it is, it looks nothing like him! What do you guys think?


The t-shirt this month is another Funko Pop branded one and features all the good guys in the resistance. I read that the tees come in four different colours, all with the same design. I got charcoal grey. I switched the size to small this month since the last one I got in medium was HUGE. However, I'm hoping I can still fit this after it shrinks in the wash.


The Funko Pop included is a flocked Chewbacca! Funko gave a clue earlier on that something would be flocked and I think most people guessed it would be Chewie, since he's the only hairy character in the Resistance. They didn't use a printed Smuggler's Bounty Exclusive box this time and actually reused the same box that regular Chewbacca (that looks exactly the same except without the fuzz) comes in and stuck an exclusive sticker on instead. 


Here's a look of Chewbacca outside of the box. You can take the stand off since it's only attached by two pegs.


The last item is a Pop Home item - a C-3PO mug. The handle is red which reflects the red arm that C-3PO had in the new movie. Very cool! I'm not that big a fan of the Pop mugs because they are really bulky and awkward to drink from.



Here's everything that came in the January 2016 Smuggler's Bounty box. Only five items this time. I think their debut box was a lot better!

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 exchange rate has been dropping so it cost me over $56 this month. The March theme is Cantina - maybe we'll finally find out if Han shot first??
