They seem to work better if the character already looks interesting, like my Vision one looks cool, but if it's just someone in a suit or streetclothes it has no real personality, even with hairstyles and accessories, since there's no facial features
I like them for certain characters. The Game of Thrones ones look horrible in Pop Vinyl format, but I do enjoy m y Vault-Boy, Dovahkiin and Dogmeat Pops.
I really hate the big heads in the video games as well actually. People that like big heads in computer games are probably the same assholes that played oddjob in GoldenEye.
The thing I hate most about Lootcrate isn't the frequently shit item quality, but it's the most surface level "nerd" stuff you can get. Marvel stuff, or Street Fight stuff, or Dragonball stuff. It's just so uninteresting.
Its featured two decks for Superfight, that wasn't disappointing if you like the series like me. Though I now need Anime deck one to go with Anime deck2.
Most of it is also useless. Like this dragonball thing - nobody would use it for an actual keychain. Maybe you could use it as a Christmas tree decoration. And who wants all those statues/figures around the house collecting dust.
Remember the March video when he got that Uncharted mug with his name on and was completely baffled? I think if the person packing the box at the factory recognized his name and put in a tiny effigy of him Ashens would probably be so spooked he'd stop doing loot boxes altogether!
Buy them in bulk and immediately flip them. Get profit for crap that won't be worth anything in 5 years when people finally realize they're buying crap figures that all look exactly the same.

On the oven glove controversy, I'll give you odds he used it on his left hand so all the printing was directly against the heat. Also congrats on the certificate. Since a Lord must be some kind of leader in the group it means you're now some kind of Sith-head. (sorry.)
Fun Fact: Those Infinity Gauntlet oven gloves are made out of a material that is actually very flammable and now have been pulled from any and all shelves (to my understanding.)
The thing about Ebay is that depending where the items come from, they can contain harmful metals and things in them. There was a whole deal with jewellery contain lead to make it weigh more and seem more of a good deal. But if they're legit, that's an awesome price!
+ohlookitsmikey (generic statement in defense of your purchase having cost more that really applies to pretty much anything in the world yet at the same time does not necessarily apply here at all because nobody has shown any of them being made with lead so it's still just pointlessly self-reassurance)
"It appears to be an oven glove" is pretty much the perfect description for that product given how it melts when used. The gloves were recalled in July 2016.
I guess you can Ashen got pretty lucky he didn't use the Oven glove since the thing has been recalled due to the gloves failing to work and ends with people getting burned.
The Inedible Bulk! Also Funkpop Darth Vader looks more like Dark Helmet from Space Balls with that oversized head... I just dun get it with the oversized head shit... it was fun for older PS games where you can unlock BIG HEAD mode with a cheat code or whatnot... eh.
Hi welcome to the comments section. Today we have a bunch of people asking who the baldy bearded guy is again as well as people expressing their like/dislike of the Loot Crate concept. Enjoy your stay.
Awww, I would have loved to have that Pikachu wearing the Charmander costume and I'm not even a Pokemon fan. I just like Pikachu and that particular plushy is really cute.
10:35 I had the same feeling too, but to me Mega Tokyo sounded like something out of an 80's sci-fi novel. Though that Pikachu plush toy looks really nice if I say so.
+DarthRushy Arguably, so have James Bond fans. 'Oh, my giddy aunts' is literally something my parents have said since I can remember, and I'm not even British.
(Warning, this comment contains opinions.) You call yourself a Doctor Who fan. Bah. There is no more Doctor who. Not since David Tennent and Christopher Eccleston. It has died as Spongebob and the Simpsons have.
still love that the oven mitt got called back due to health hazards, literally causing people to burn themselves badly due to how extremely thin they were, to the point where they broke and burned from just holding a plate taken out of the oven.
Blakey fro the show "On the buses", played by Stephen Lewis... Never saw it. He played "Smiler" though in the show "Last of the Summer Wine", he worked for Auntie Wainwright. That I saw, my dad was a fan of the show.
It's a shame he tested out the glove with another glove below it. The ovenglove released in those lootboxes that month are incredibly defective, and the thin material they're made out of can't prevent heat from passing through. Honestly, Cowchop did a really good job of testing that though.
That Chrome Vader was Hot Topic Exclusive in america, i suspect that sticker is underneath that one. It was worth around £25 but it's now available here, so not worth as much.
That Pikachu was actually really cute. Makes me wish I had subscribed so I could get one. But alas I'm on a trip soon so had to save. I shall have to attempt to steal yours through some kind of mind control.
You can buy one on amazon.This plush has been around for a while, it used to be available for purchase on the pokemon center site but is no longer available there. www.amazon.com/Pokemon-original-Pikachu-dressed-MegaCharizard/dp/B01931RGL2?ie=UTF8&keywords=charizard%20pikachu%20plush&qid=1464454160&ref_=sr_1_15&sr=8-15
+Matt N If by "gay" you mean the original term, then of course. A life without happiness is a life filled with monotony and tedium. What is life for, if not for living? However, if by "gay" you're referring to sexual attraction then I think you're overcompensating your own idioms on the subject. Things people like and don't like, and how they speak have little influence on sexual orientation. Sexuality in itself is rather ambiguous. Be you heterosexual, homosexual, bisexual, asexual, sapiosexual, androsexual, demisexual and a whole host of others. All of which cross over and accumulate at different points in time. Trying to define what someone is off of irrelevant facts is just backwards thinking. And if you're pushing tables onto others who have shown no preference either way, then you should probably look at yourself. Why do you have such distaste for the word gay? Why do you attempt to push that term onto others? After all whether someone is gay or not doesn't actually hold any sway on the matter as people are who they are regardless and they will like what they like. We are who we are, no-matter how you try to define us. We are individuals. You either need to grow up, open your eyes to the world around you, think for yourself or take a good hard look at the repressed person you are currently portraying. Either way I would recommend reading more and expanding that narrow way of thinking you have. It's a big wide world out there.

Me and my wife got the Charizard Pikachu last year from the Pokemon Centre in Sunshine city - it's the 2nd one (or 3rd if you include Tokyo station) and the original one closed. So the new one that was bigger and in a better location became the "Mega Centre"
What about adding Geekfuel to the mix? It's said to be the best out of these boxes, with some sort of quality standards and consistency. I don't know much of it these days, but I've seen people get books out of them and proper action figures.
Yeah, because he said "I'm *not going to take out* the water Pokemon badge, because nobody cares about those"... Pay attention before you criticize. EDIT: Fixed wording of the quote.
I've been subscribed to ashens for about two years and I still don't understand the running gag. You know it, the one that flashes for a half second. Is it just a funny face or is there more to it. I am by no means an ashens lore master.
My dad got my mum some actual Joy Division Oven Gloves for Christmas once... those online shops that do custom t shirts and mugs have expanded their ranges to the point of bizarreness.
Patriotfan1752 I respect different people have different tastes but honestly, what's wrong with an oven mitt? It's a genuine usable item that is also geeky. That's what I would WANT to get in geek boxes if I actually subscribed to them
The guy whose oven glove melted is clearly pulling a fast one. That's what happens when the Human Torch from the Fantastic 4 puts his hand inside one of those things.
The oven glove is really cool, I mean, in a funny sort of way. Wouldn't use it myself either, but I'd definitely place it on top of the oven gloves that I actually use, so people can see it and have a laugh or whatever.
what i dont get, this shit gets thrown at you everytime you go into a comic or videogame store. Just WHY would you want to also have to bother with it at home ? for extra cost ??? Are the subscribers of these boxes THAT LAZY ? or really THAT STUPID ?!
Max Max I'm ashamed to call myself a "gamer" anymore. If you say you're a gamer, or a fan of movies, people assume your house is a hoarder's swamp of figurines, posters, costumes, and every inch of it is licensed merch.
Ashens drinking game: Binge all his videos. Take a drink every time he says he wishes he had a knife. Finish your drink on the rare occasion he's actually got a knife. Drink for the entire "sharpest knife in the world" montage.
Ender Skies - Yes, the correct way to pronounce those words. You guys butchered the language enough, I mean 'ax', 'thru' and 'nite'. No u's in colour and honour etc. Lazy much.
Ender Skies - No, writing night "nite", and through "thru", because they're "too difficult" is the epitome of retardation. And guess what, sodIUM, natrIUM, radIUM, uranIUM,.. aluminIUM.
Our company name is just a play on words. We have a lot of anime themed months, but we also do other themes to cater for a wider audience. This month is Marvel themed because of the Civil War movie.
Lootakubox don't you think it's somewhat false advertising to have a name that's contrary to the products? there are plenty of other boxes pushing Civil War guff, why not specialise in anime/otaku culture? I get that you're probably a big company and need to cater to the majority, but there is a big audience out there for anime, both old and new, that hate comic books. Take a page from J-list's book!
Well our themes are very focused. As in we list out exactly what theme it is every month, and give huge hints as to what would be inside. But the bigger reason why we don't just do anime themes is the variety of anime merchandise that comes out every month. We only do anime themes when we find really nice and high quality items, but those definitely don't get released monthly. The large manufacturers are only focused on mainstream animes such as Dragon Ball, One Piece, Naruto, Gundam, etc. If we do anime themes every month then we're forced to choose low quality or uninteresting products. This is also why boxes that are purely anime focused don't do well every month.
Well Otaku really only means somebody that's overly obsessed with something in popular culture. Hence our name is Loot and Otaku put together to mean somebody obsessed with loot.
That's the first time I've ever wanted everything in a Loot Crate. They'd had some boxes with nice things before but I've never given one a 100% approval rating. The Geek Gear was pretty good too, apart from every Star Wars thing.
Jesus the Geek box honestly seems worth it, funko pops go for £10 on average nowadays and the pikachu plushie is around £20 in itself, im sure Lootbox is worth it but from its inconsistency of being good or bad id say its a hit or miss...
I'm with Ashens on this.
Big Heads is a videogame cheatcode, not a mandatory feature on a collectable figurine.
They seem to work better if the character already looks interesting, like my Vision one looks cool, but if it's just someone in a suit or streetclothes it has no real personality, even with hairstyles and accessories, since there's no facial features
I like them for certain characters. The Game of Thrones ones look horrible in Pop Vinyl format, but I do enjoy m y Vault-Boy, Dovahkiin and Dogmeat Pops.
agreed
I really hate the big heads in the video games as well actually. People that like big heads in computer games are probably the same assholes that played oddjob in GoldenEye.
Agreed
If you put that Infinity Gauntlet cooking mit on while handling the Infinity Gauntlet molded mug, the universe will collapse in on itself.
The thing I hate most about Lootcrate isn't the frequently shit item quality, but it's the most surface level "nerd" stuff you can get. Marvel stuff, or Street Fight stuff, or Dragonball stuff. It's just so uninteresting.
Its featured two decks for Superfight, that wasn't disappointing if you like the series like me. Though I now need Anime deck one to go with Anime deck2.
Most of it is also useless. Like this dragonball thing - nobody would use it for an actual keychain. Maybe you could use it as a Christmas tree decoration. And who wants all those statues/figures around the house collecting dust.
and plastic figurines. Who needs that many big headed dust collectors?
+culwin Hardcore collectors. I know guys that have shelves of the stuff.
some people collect thousands of them...not me, but some peopel...
Having to receive a Loot Crate every month is a fate so horrible I wouldn't wish on my worst enemy. My deepest sympathy, Ashens.
When he mentioned preheating the oven I wondered if he remembered to check it for arcade boards first.
"Next month's theme: GAME OVER"
Well, I guess that was that for GeekGear.
Will the next Ashen's Crate have a vinyl figure of Dan with a head 1/10th the size of the rest of his body?
What would be hilarious is if funco pop made and then sent him figures of himself, Dan, Barry, and Larry, or maybe just him.
+Kandi Gloss don't forget Chef Excellence!
William Mcmeekin Oh jeez, yes
Remember the March video when he got that Uncharted mug with his name on and was completely baffled? I think if the person packing the box at the factory recognized his name and put in a tiny effigy of him Ashens would probably be so spooked he'd stop doing loot boxes altogether!
William Mcmeekin
An excellent bobblehead
I still have that glove somewhere. I know they were recalled but in return they send a shirt that is so cheap it disintegrates after a few washes.
The entire time I was saying "literally anyone but Sharon Carter" and of course, crates never fail to depress.
_"I wish I had a new oven mitt."_
said absolutely no one subscribed to Loot Crate ever in the history of everything.
And so they did.
Loot crate boom shacka lacks anything worth keeping
boom shacka lacks its hot like lava
Croot Late, you mean?
Croot Latte, the Tau brew.
who is that person that keeps popping up with the beard
not sure, but he creeps me da fuck out.
Pop vinyls are this century's Beanie babies.
Except now they're absurdly expensive.
HammerMC Beanie Babies were too at one time.
Some still sell very well. Too well.
Wow too true...
Buy them in bulk and immediately flip them. Get profit for crap that won't be worth anything in 5 years when people finally realize they're buying crap figures that all look exactly the same.
At least it's better than the Fucking inflatable fucking crown..
I did love when they sent him a special package with over 100 of them XD
+Sean “Seanny” nyyx did he make a video about that? I'd love to see it
fucking ANYTHING is better than fucking inflatable fucking crowns.
But it's a Fucking Infinity Gauntlet Oven Mitt
the inflatable crown joke is getting seriously old
"He drooled on his own ball and that is something that nobody wants to see."
You'd be surprised, Ashen.
they didn't even capitalize the I's
You don't use upper case 'i' on the Dark Side!
also the fucking training centers are still the dumbest thing ever, the prequels ruined that too.
Also 'Has earned the rank of title of-'
I noticed that straight away. It bothered me wayy too much o_o
...rank *and* title of: -1
*privileges* -1
*On this day,......* paragraph is
one sentence and contains
three ands. -1
Non-capitalisation of *i* -1
*Needs much better grammar.
Grade: "Hayden Christensen's acting career"
I thought that certificate said *SHIT LORD*
I wonder if *"SHIT LORD"* is a thing?
"Shitlord" is a term used by radical SJW feminists to insult people they don't like such as White people, men, heterosexuals, etc.
+Somone “Someoneman” Mann found the shitlord
We have a yognaught
You saw it, therefore you are it. We all bow to you lord
On the oven glove controversy, I'll give you odds he used it on his left hand so all the printing was directly against the heat.
Also congrats on the certificate. Since a Lord must be some kind of leader in the group it means you're now some kind of Sith-head. (sorry.)
Yeah probably
Jesus christ on a bicycle, you might as well call that Looktaku box the "Overy cutesy deformed plastic shit box."
butt mug
Water pokemon are the hypest, DAMN YOU ASHENS
ah its mr "I do"
Gyarados and Lapras ftw.
Yeah. It's grass that sucks. They're too flammable.
+Adrastia Couldn't hear you over the sound of my Mega Drain.
You should probably call a plumber then, or whoever fixes that.
All I want for christmas is an inflatable oven glove 👌
I was expecting to see a melted double dragon pcb when he opened the oven. Fortunately it seems to have found a better storage location.
Fun Fact: Those Infinity Gauntlet oven gloves are made out of a material that is actually very flammable and now have been pulled from any and all shelves (to my understanding.)
How the hell does a fucking OVEN GLOVE get a pass? Ashens getting soft in his old age?!
It's funny, quirky, creative unlike Funko crap, and actually a neat useful nerdy item for anyone not living on hot pockets in their mom's basement.
That's like saying the shoelaces and socks are useful... they are but it really isn't a good item, seeing as you can get one for a couple of quid.
+A daft punk t
That burns, better get my oven glove.
+Jimmy Rolesu Then I guess you don't get the nuances of an oven mitt compared to things like shoelaces.
I actually needed a new oven glove. This is probably the first time I got something practical out of a loot crate.
You got the Golden Oopa? Those are super rare!
...I don't regret that reference at all.
yeah it also can make a murdering asshole a billionaire
Didn't he get arrested? I don't think you can sell it in jail.
No regrets for getting this reference either. Or maybe very minor ones. Either way, 't was worth it.
I thought the bb8 type trinket was the holy hand grenade of Antioch
Black person was always my favourite avenger
The geek gear was pretty good! Those Pokemon badges are about £15-20 on Etsy, depending where you get them, plus, this had a lovely box. Winner!
Or a couple bucks per set on eBay or aliexpress...
The thing about Ebay is that depending where the items come from, they can contain harmful metals and things in them. There was a whole deal with jewellery contain lead to make it weigh more and seem more of a good deal.
But if they're legit, that's an awesome price!
+ohlookitsmikey (generic statement in defense of your purchase having cost more that really applies to pretty much anything in the world yet at the same time does not necessarily apply here at all because nobody has shown any of them being made with lead so it's still just pointlessly self-reassurance)
I got the same box and mine didn't have the Pikachu or the Pokemon badges, they definitely send the best stuff to Ashens :(
+ellis wilkinson agreed i only got a pokeball and a keyring seems a little unfair
"It appears to be an oven glove" is pretty much the perfect description for that product given how it melts when used. The gloves were recalled in July 2016.
Ashens those are technically blind bags.....burn them......
Not all of them deserve to be burned, at least in my opinion. Especially not the Infinity Mitt.
+Chaos89P Ashens burns terrible items he finds in blind bags...I want him to burn the little bobble heads not the oven mitt....
Robert Lembo Oh, the deformed bobbleheads? I wouldn't mind if he burns those, or those Funko Pop things.
Marvel themed Bratz bobble head? Kill it, Kill With FIRE!!!
If the item is high quality, he won't burn it but he would burn it if the item
You have to remember to polish your badges.
I guess you can Ashen got pretty lucky he didn't use the Oven glove since the thing has been recalled due to the gloves failing to work and ends with people getting burned.
Did you not watch the video?
I went to a Comic Con where there was a stall with wall made entirely out of Funko Pop!s. Probably over a thousand of them.
Funko have a giant stall at JPX every year. With two exclusives. And people flock to it like crazy.
In the age of COVID, wondering if Ashens is actually using the Infinity Oven Mitt to shake peoples' hands.
The Inedible Bulk!
Also Funkpop Darth Vader looks more like Dark Helmet from Space Balls with that oversized head... I just dun get it with the oversized head shit... it was fun for older PS games where you can unlock BIG HEAD mode with a cheat code or whatnot... eh.
18:47 "Black Person" xD
Thanks for testing the mitt out! That's a huge help. I might see if I can pick one up
Ashens, that is a bootleg Pikachu plush. There is NO way a legit one should be in that box. It was only at a Pokemon Center opening in Japan.
Those Q-Figs usually come with a little plastic word balloon mounted on the base where you can write little phrases for the figurine to "say."
bloody hell, are you still doing these?
I don't know if you'll read this, but if you don't want to use the oven mitt for its intended purpose, use it as a cover for dish soap.
"Vision was OP Nerf please Marvel"
well you got your wish in IW
"Use the force" and the toilet-man is my kind of humour. xD

you...did make sure there wasn't a jamma board in the oven this time, right?

Though that Pikachu plush toy looks really nice if I say so.
"Oh, my giddy aunt!"
And all the Doctor Who fans simultaneously gasped.
***** So is the word "bow-tie", but DW fans have almost patented it.
or just normal British words
+DarthRushy Arguably, so have James Bond fans. 'Oh, my giddy aunts' is literally something my parents have said since I can remember, and I'm not even British.
(Warning, this comment contains opinions.) You call yourself a Doctor Who fan. Bah.
There is no more Doctor who. Not since David Tennent and Christopher Eccleston.
It has died as Spongebob and the Simpsons have.
He says it all the time, and it's a common british saying
still love that the oven mitt got called back due to health hazards, literally causing people to burn themselves badly due to how extremely thin they were, to the point where they broke and burned from just holding a plate taken out of the oven.
Was that the guy from on the buses at the end? xD
It sure was hahah
Sure was! Shame, he's dead now as well.
Stephen Lewis, he died last year. He was also in the film The Krays lol
Blakey fro the show "On the buses", played by Stephen Lewis... Never saw it.
He played "Smiler" though in the show "Last of the Summer Wine", he worked for Auntie Wainwright. That I saw, my dad was a fan of the show.
*I'll get you, Butler!*
The Vader Pop was originally a Hot Topic exclusive, they had them for months
"My girlfriend won't like this mug as it will be difficult to clean" - Ashens dicing with death at the hands of feminists!
+Wy Vern it's no true Scotsman you dumbfuck
I am a girlfriend and I can confirm that those mugs are difficult to clean.
Well, the box did contain a "privelaged Sith Lord" certificate.
Girlfriend ? Nothing wrong with it, just assumed he was leaning in some other directiion ?
Just chuck it in the dishwasher or tell him to clean it himself.
It's a shame he tested out the glove with another glove below it. The ovenglove released in those lootboxes that month are incredibly defective, and the thin material they're made out of can't prevent heat from passing through. Honestly, Cowchop did a really good job of testing that though.
7:55 I have the same stove as Dr Ashen. The honour!
That Chrome Vader was Hot Topic Exclusive in america, i suspect that sticker is underneath that one. It was worth around £25 but it's now available here, so not worth as much.
Remember when ashens used to actually turn the loot crate boxes inside out. Those were the days ;)
Hell yeah, that Infinity Gauntlet cooking mit was the coolest thing I got in that crate IMO.
I saw the pokemon badges last year when I met you Ashens :)
(in comic con)
i thought comic cons only had the pop figures now?
I have a bobblehead Weng Weng and it is in scale since the actor himself was only 2ft 9inches
Wanna here a joke?
Norfolk.
Your spelling?
Nilguiri Norfolk ejucashun.
Wanna hear another joke?
Loot Crate's item quality
NicoLink HA!
Surely you've never been to Essex.... I came from there... Its a dump...
I have a collectable with a giant head that I love. it's the Palisades Alien queen bust and it's awesome... but also the correct scale
That Pikachu was actually really cute. Makes me wish I had subscribed so I could get one.
But alas I'm on a trip soon so had to save. I shall have to attempt to steal yours through some kind of mind control.
The pikachu was really nice. However the pokemon plushies are random and Ashens seem to get a really big one.
You can buy one on amazon.This plush has been around for a while, it used to be available for purchase on the pokemon center site but is no longer available there. www.amazon.com/Pokemon-original-Pikachu-dressed-MegaCharizard/dp/B01931RGL2?ie=UTF8&keywords=charizard%20pikachu%20plush&qid=1464454160&ref_=sr_1_15&sr=8-15
Still too broke to get one at the moment. And they were random sized ones? I bet the others were equally as cute though. But Ashens and that luck xD
+Matt N If by "gay" you mean the original term, then of course. A life without happiness is a life filled with monotony and tedium. What is life for, if not for living?
However, if by "gay" you're referring to sexual attraction then I think you're overcompensating your own idioms on the subject. Things people like and don't like, and how they speak have little influence on sexual orientation. Sexuality in itself is rather ambiguous. Be you heterosexual, homosexual, bisexual, asexual, sapiosexual, androsexual, demisexual and a whole host of others. All of which cross over and accumulate at different points in time. Trying to define what someone is off of irrelevant facts is just backwards thinking. And if you're pushing tables onto others who have shown no preference either way, then you should probably look at yourself. Why do you have such distaste for the word gay? Why do you attempt to push that term onto others? After all whether someone is gay or not doesn't actually hold any sway on the matter as people are who they are regardless and they will like what they like. We are who we are, no-matter how you try to define us. We are individuals.
You either need to grow up, open your eyes to the world around you, think for yourself or take a good hard look at the repressed person you are currently portraying.
Either way I would recommend reading more and expanding that narrow way of thinking you have. It's a big wide world out there.

That dragon ball clip is for a backpack. Key ring? Who has pockets like that? Mc Hammer?
talks about the water badge...pulls out the rock badge you get from Brock...man Im old...
you re not old, you re experienced
Yeah, because he said "I'm *not going to take out* the water Pokemon badge, because nobody cares about those"... Pay attention before you criticize.
EDIT: Fixed wording of the quote.
They were actually selling those Pikachu plushies at the Pokemon Centre in Tokyo when I visited ^^ so that's kinda cool I guess
Bloody hell a lootcrate
I haven't heard of Half Man Half Biscuit since XFM, when they got an email about them on the show.
what the fuck was that subliminal?
It's Mentski, he's on YT too
I'm now conditioned to kill every time i see his face so i'll avoid that channel.
+Bryan Radley Lol!
+Bryan Radley mission report. December 16 1991
It is Charles Manson.
His spirit has possessed your computer.
Maybe better smash it and throw it in holy water.
Imagine if Thanos' got swapped for this one in film would have been epic
Yay, elephantitus heads for the win, yay!
It's a novelty oven glove made in China. Which means it's crap for using it in a regular oven, but suitable for use with a microwave range.
"I do" said some guy😐
I'm slightly pleased to hear that others have noticed the Pop figures seem to be flooding convention stalls a bit recently.
I've been subscribed to ashens for about two years and I still don't understand the running gag. You know it, the one that flashes for a half second. Is it just a funny face or is there more to it. I am by no means an ashens lore master.
no clue
No one really knows I don't think he does anymore 😂😂😂
I am exactly the same as you!! I don't understand it at all
It's a fellow youtuber, Mentski
My dad got my mum some actual Joy Division Oven Gloves for Christmas once... those online shops that do custom t shirts and mugs have expanded their ranges to the point of bizarreness.
I'LL GET YOU BUTLER!
Looked up all the items from the Geek Gear, costs about 22 quid on eBay for everything. Not too bad though i don't know how much the box costs.
I severly doubt that glove can withstand 500 °C
void* fahrenheit not celsius
"What happened to the original Tokyo, why did it have to be mega?" this cracked me up lolol
i got pissed off at that oven mitt, almost as much as ashens got at the inflatable crown, like seriously a fucking oven mitt
Patriotfan1752 I respect different people have different tastes but honestly, what's wrong with an oven mitt? It's a genuine usable item that is also geeky. That's what I would WANT to get in geek boxes if I actually subscribed to them
That last Ultron was more terrifying than the film version.
i luv u ashens plz play on my mincraft severe
lmao
Just HOW severe IS Minecraft?
***** Shhh kid.
+ThatOneDutchGamer I sory I dont very do inglish
+Knight and Crow i not child!!! i big boy, olredy six!!!!!!
The guy whose oven glove melted is clearly pulling a fast one. That's what happens when the Human Torch from the Fantastic 4 puts his hand inside one of those things.
I will send you're 45,000,000 pounds for that golden ultron
+Wy Vern British currency.
+Wy Vern are viscount biscuits still a thing? Nostalgia moment...
+Jonathan Banks Damn straight and they're still godlike.
+Nilon241 know where I can buy them in bulk?
+Jonathan Banks Quality Save iirc
Planet Comicon had a lot of vendors selling pops for upwards of $140!!
That awkward moment when you only have one like on your comment and it looks like you liked it
The oven glove is really cool, I mean, in a funny sort of way. Wouldn't use it myself either, but I'd definitely place it on top of the oven gloves that I actually use, so people can see it and have a laugh or whatever.
Thank God I have the common sense not to buy into these geek exploitation services.
Geeksploitation, if you will
anyone who actually buys these things is a huge mug
Jack Slaughter
hey, I coined that phrase last year. Trademark pending.
what i dont get, this shit gets thrown at you everytime you go into a comic or videogame store.
Just WHY would you want to also have to bother with it at home ? for extra cost ???
Are the subscribers of these boxes THAT LAZY ? or really THAT STUPID ?!

I'm ashamed to call myself a "gamer" anymore. If you say you're a gamer, or a fan of movies, people assume your house is a hoarder's swamp of figurines, posters, costumes, and every inch of it is licensed merch.
Ashens drinking game: Binge all his videos. Take a drink every time he says he wishes he had a knife. Finish your drink on the rare occasion he's actually got a knife. Drink for the entire "sharpest knife in the world" montage.
Con-trov-o-see?
Welcome to British pronunciation of words. Though Ashens is making it a bit more worst then it should be.
Welcome to the *correct* pronunciation of *English* words. FTFY
I'm American and that's how I pronounce "controversy" as well.
Ender Skies - Yes, the correct way to pronounce those words.
You guys butchered the language enough, I mean 'ax', 'thru' and 'nite'. No u's in colour and honour etc. Lazy much.
Ender Skies - No, writing night "nite", and through "thru", because they're "too difficult" is the epitome of retardation.
And guess what, sodIUM, natrIUM, radIUM, uranIUM,.. aluminIUM.
Apart from that unfortunate face, that Civil War bobblehead actually looked really detailed.
Can someone tell me what that face that keeps popping up in his videos is for ? Aha subliminal messaging joke?
It's mentski, he's a youtuber friend of Stewart. A long running joke ;)
i managed to pause the vid as it popped up i have a screenshot of it
Veeery long.
It looks like they just issued a recall on the oven mitt.
So wait, "Lootaku" has nothing Japanese in it? Why is it's name based on otaku then? That's fucking dumb
Our company name is just a play on words. We have a lot of anime themed months, but we also do other themes to cater for a wider audience. This month is Marvel themed because of the Civil War movie.
Lootakubox don't you think it's somewhat false advertising to have a name that's contrary to the products? there are plenty of other boxes pushing Civil War guff, why not specialise in anime/otaku culture? I get that you're probably a big company and need to cater to the majority, but there is a big audience out there for anime, both old and new, that hate comic books. Take a page from J-list's book!
Well our themes are very focused. As in we list out exactly what theme it is every month, and give huge hints as to what would be inside.
But the bigger reason why we don't just do anime themes is the variety of anime merchandise that comes out every month. We only do anime themes when we find really nice and high quality items, but those definitely don't get released monthly. The large manufacturers are only focused on mainstream animes such as Dragon Ball, One Piece, Naruto, Gundam, etc. If we do anime themes every month then we're forced to choose low quality or uninteresting products.
This is also why boxes that are purely anime focused don't do well every month.
Sometimes people think "Otaku" and "Nerd/Geek" are interchangeable... Few realize "Otaku" isn't the word for geek or nerd in Japanese culture.. =_=
Well Otaku really only means somebody that's overly obsessed with something in popular culture. Hence our name is Loot and Otaku put together to mean somebody obsessed with loot.
That's the first time I've ever wanted everything in a Loot Crate. They'd had some boxes with nice things before but I've never given one a 100% approval rating. The Geek Gear was pretty good too, apart from every Star Wars thing.
Crumpling up the certificate is exactly what a Sith Lord would do. Darth Ashens confirmed!
Jesus the Geek box honestly seems worth it, funko pops go for £10 on average nowadays and the pikachu plushie is around £20 in itself, im sure Lootbox is worth it but from its inconsistency of being good or bad id say its a hit or miss...
