August 2016 Sci-Fi Block Review Wrap-Up
The August Sci-Fi Block definitely delivered some fun and unique sci-fi goodies. This month there were two “build” figures. First was the Robot from Lost in Space model. The Robot consists of 24 unassembled and unpainted pieces. Using a hobby knife and plastic cement, you can build this robot and give it a classic or custom paint job. Next is the Terminator Genisys Mega Block model. We received a Resistance Solider figure, along with a base for the included spotlights and building, and a storage box.
The BBC Doctor Who Keychain has 10 different Doctor Who Time Squad characters, including the 11th and 12th Doctors, Clara, Cyberman, Dalek, and other popular characters from Doctor Who. The Blind Box includes one keychain with a 2.5″ vinyl figure.
Whether you’re a fan of the original Planet of the Apes movie or have been enjoying the latest releases, the exclusive Planet of the Apes t-shirt is the perfect shirt to show off your fandom. It features the iconic Statue of Liberty peeking out of the ocean and Charlton Heston’s famous quote: “It’s a mad house! A mad house!”
August Sci-Fi Block had one of 7 Futurama Funko Pop! figures. We received the Bender figure which stands 3 3/4″ tall and is holding a beer bottle in his left robotic hand.
