Subscription Boxes November 2018 - Loot Crate, Akibento, Harry Potter | Ashens

[@DarkSnideoftheRainbow]

The best parts of these videos is when Ashens doesn't know anything about the anime stuff so he makes up the most ridiculous stuff he can think of in the moment and still somehow manages to be less crazy than the actual anime most times

[@heartysquid]

And I love how he nailed the idea of one punch man

[@LaoevanSVU]

I bet Lootcrate sends Ashens boxes still because they enjoy hearing his compliments about their improved pins

[@EmeraldLavigne]

I still like how they sent him an entire box of inflatable crowns.

[@bucwhovian8305]

Or maybe they get enough people using his link because they enjoy them ironically.

[@LaoevanSVU]

@@EmeraldLavigne I cried of laughter when that video came out. He was so done lol

[@EmeraldLavigne]

@@LaoevanSVU the best part was how they just printed out TrollFace.jpeg and put it on top all the crowns...

[@Pinkanator]

Ah yes, Genos, the true villain.

[@M0torsagmannen]

truly a despicable and ruthless character that Genos... tsk tsk

[@pdoglarsen]

uhmmm... His name is Metal Arms Billy.

[@bcsb]

Maybe Stuart knows who the final big bad is.

[@LeeDee5]

Genos the very angry boy who uses his metal arms for evil.

[@TheM00tard]

I mean, he did steal Saitama's french fry

[@kimsleep4111]

Very nice of you to put a advert in for a charity, and speak of them so positively.... it is greatly appreciated

[@lewiswhite1680]

Yes, you dint need to point that out.

[@EmmyDereest]

You know, Loot Crate always reminds me of stuff you see at the checkout line of Spirit of Halloween stores. It's always stuff themed around franchises that aren't necessarily relevant anymore, but have cult followings. It ranges from passable to good quality, and sometimes you find a real gem. For non-Americans: Spirit of Halloween is a store that's owned by Spencers (which is a gag gift store you find in malls, lots of weed, sexual, and pop culture related shirts and trinkets) that pops up in September, renting out an empty big box store location, and selling variable quality Halloween costumes and accessories. They stick around til Halloween, then sell everything they have left at massive discounts (50% off on November 1st, 60% on the 2nd, etc.) until they're sold out and disappear until next year.

[@nyxdarkness1]

I actually didn't know Spirit was owned by Spencer's. A lot of things make sense now.

[@Dreadjaws]

So, there's a box that just regurgitates old LootCrate stuff? I never even imagined something so sad could exist.

[@ccortez392]

I nearly fucken died when he showed the loot crate tag.

[@cheekbonestrenchcoat]

The teeshirt, socks, luggae tag (although those are available in like HMV and stuff) and bag were all Loot Crate stuff, some the Wizarding World special box. Pretty sure the book was in a box too (oh wait he just said in the video it is) Be really peed off if you are a big HP fan and have LC one anyway and then get this one special!

[@swettyspaghtti]

" Crew" is a sock size for length of the sock. Its a little above the ankle.

[@AtheistOrphan]

Swetty Spaghtti - Thanks for the explanation. I was wondering what it meant.

[@brhodes0]

Scrolled to your comment just as he asked the question - thanks for being organised 👍🏻

[@Ministock85h]

That facemask was ahead of it's time....

[@RegenTonnenEnte]

Facemasks existed for eons beeing worn in areas with high smog

[@samholdsworth420]

And in the Asian community people who are sick wear masks when in public....

[@RetroView]

No final look in titan mask, no-maj hat and with ghoul umbrella? Disappointed.

[@doyleharken3477]

Still can't believe Rowling went with "No-Maj" as the American version of muggle. Talk about phoning it in

[@SakuraAvalon]

French is worse. It's just the American one, but with a French accent...

[@gungaloscrungalo8925]

Haven't watched yet, let me guess the Loot Crate. -Obligatory T-shirt of something that's currently popular with an admittedly cool design. Most likely Superhero related. - A tacky looking cutesy bug headed sculpture of a character that shouldn't be cutesy and big-headed. -Winter is here, so maybe some reasonable quality gloves. Going to take a stab in the dark and say they'll be a reference to an anime. -Of course, the obligatory pin that makes Staurt compliment how they've improved, probably a late horror themed one.

[@deathsyth8888]

When can we pre-order or get a subscription of the Ashens Box? A box of tat sent monthly to our doors. Will it be a cheap knockoff action figure? Inedible microwaveable mystery meat processed food? Or perhaps a counterfeit DVD case? Who knows. It's a surprise!

[@darktetsuya]

don't forget the POP Station of the month, January's is Street Fighter (where you throw your arms at each other for some reason)

[@totz_the_plaid9625]

@@darktetsuya So are February, March, May, June, October and December's POP Stations! In April you get that impenetrable Basketball game, July through September get you various versions of that Submarine game, and November gets most people the basketball game again, but one lucky fellow gets Chanticleer Hegemony!

[@wahlflower3517]

A great way for Ashens to get rid of leftover tat

[@Cheemma]

He did release an Ashens box at some point but it off a one off limited edition thing and it was about four years ago

[@nyxdarkness1]

I would absolutely buy an Ashens box subscription

[@komradbuttercream7026]

Holy shit. Who would have thought that goddamn mask would be so relevant a year later...

[@Crusader1089]

Akibento got Ashens prepared for the pandemic a year in advance, but I bet he didn't make good use of it.

[@JasonZakrajsek]

I like how the pin has the hole over the “L” for Loot Crate. Nice little attention to detail.

[@mothermayihavesomebleach2129]

It’s really charming to see how much Ashens enjoys pins every time he gets one. It’s like the wonder of a child on Christmas.

[@thepokekid01]

Every month I keep confusing Akibento for the snack crate box (because of it's stupid "weeb" name) that you use to do/sometimes do and I get hungry... but confused when it reveals anime stuff! Also it was funny of Ashens to pick the One Punch Man Robot guy, "Genos" as the main villain, when he is actually the Robin of the series/ One Punch Man's side kick. He does look like a villain, but it just makes it all the more funny.

[@bucwhovian8305]

He sounds like Iron Fist but without the boring ass Netflix series!

[@Spekor]

heh saitama just exercises alot and got super strong.. and it's a lie he can kill everything in 1 punch.... there's a fly he's never been able to kill no matter what he does to it

[@PersonalChannelMikeJ]

To be fair in the manga the hero HQ gave Genos the nickname "Demon Cyborg".

That blue elephant boy is pretty adorable. Also, 13:20 looks more like it's supposed to be a weird eye mask, for if you're working nights and need to block out the light in order to sleep.

[@crystalvoodoo91]

GmodPlusWoW So you’d have a mouth on your eyes? Well that’d look unsettling.

Funkopop and funkopop knockoff logic: 1. Take an actor that is well known for his very very distinctive facial features 2. Smooth all of that down into the same cube as every other figure in the range 3. Perfect likeness! I cringe to think what the funkopops of characters played by people like Jim Carey and Ron Perlman must look like.

[@KosmiskRevolution]

Spoiler alert: They'd have square heads and beady eyes.

[@BunnaySango]

@@FuNiOnZ2 I thought they were cute at first..until they started taking over and ruining comic shops. They take up easily an entire wall of a very limited space, and my local doesnt bother getting new stock of anything else because pops are the ones that sell. They also all seem to be turning into spots for people to play card games which takes up sales floor as well. Every Netherworld and Worlds apart seem to be going this way and its depressing. I used to be able to go in and find 3 or 4 awesome things, now Im lucky if I find one.

"Oh, it is a villain" Having watched the show thats so far from the truth it's violently hilarious.

Ashens: *Points at Black Star's weapon* "His weapon looks so complicated to use, I reckon there's only fives people in the world with the patience to do so." Me: "...and he isn't one of them."

[@Frellyouall]

I had the blank key from LC. It was a Bioshock Infinite one. I took it to a locksmith and turns out it was incompatible with my door. "Metal Armed Billy" isn't a villain.

[@SakuraAvalon]

MAKA!! About time Soul Eater got some recognition! I love that show.

[@Agamemnon2]

I really like the No-Maj hat. It's comparatively subtle, has a bit of design, and looks high quality as far as these things go. The O is even a picture of a wand with a "nope" sign across it. Same with the wand book, it's super niche and aimed at superfans of the HP universe, but I count myself as one of them.

[@ColonelPenguin]

Loot crate will live longer than us all

[@sambeckettcat]

that Soul Eater shirt was probably the only shirt I've seen from this whole series I would've been happy with.

[@OtakuUnitedStudio]

1:58 "Honey... You got REAL ugly." Also the character from Soul Eater is named Soul Eater, and he IS the scythe. Also, it's got good horror elements that I think you'd enjoy. Particularly the scene where the main bad guy finally shows up.

[@deanc9195]

I’m not normally a fan of those cute things... But something about that Evil Dead diarama made me really happy!

Those socks remind me of the Marks and Spencers licensed socks of out-of-date cartoons that used to be available in the children's section in the 90s. In the store they looked great because cartoon characters, but wear them at school and feel the shame. I hated my Super Mario Bros socks but felt really bad for anyone whose mum's bought them Hulk and Superman briefs. But thanks, Loot Crate, for bringing that unpleasant aspect of growing up into adulthood!

[@sarmajere2866]

Our local discount store has had those Oblivator shirts for months now! They tend to get a LOT of loot crate extras for some reason, so if anyone in the US is in the market and has an Ollie's (they seem to be a southern thing, but I might be wrong) ... I DO have their Bill and Ted shirt and it's super soft!

Ashen should watch a bit of Soul Eater. it's kind of cringe but if he watches the episodes that focus on insanity the show becomes more like a David Lynch inspired cartoon which is oddly enough very bearable and fun.

[@gebs123]

Is it really a Soul Eater t-shirt? The moon looks wrong.

[@TheShadesOfBlack]

@@gebs123 it is. I'd argue all the points but I did that on another comment. Just look up Maka and you'll see. The moons probably wrong just to avoid legal issues
