November LootCrate - Magical
Photo-A-Day #4242

Each month I receive a Loot Crate to unbox and review. I am also an affiliate of Loot Crate so if you buy through me you help me out and I can help you out with a discount code – Get Loot Crate Now – BENSPARK. This month’s Loot Crate has the theme of Magical and it has items from Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, Doctor Strange, Game of Thrones, Big Trouble in Little China and Elder Scrolls.

I really liked this box. There are many great items in this one box from properties that I enjoy. The tshirt is from Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them. This is an interesting one calling for people to become an Obliviator. I’ll be wearing that when we go to see the movie tomorrow night.

The item in the box that I loved the most is the Doctor Strange statue from Q-Fig. This is a Loot Crate exclusive. It looks amazing.

In the box there was also a notebook with red tipped pages. This is a Game of Thrones themed moleskin notebook with a Melisandre theme. It is beautiful and I know that my wife is going to love it.

There was also a comic book with an Exclusive cover. This was for the Big Trouble in Little China / Escape from New York crossover. These are two movies that I liked very much in the 80s.

The Loot Pin is for Elder Scrolls. With it you can get special features in the game.

The crate itself is a reversible one. It looks like a shelf of magical items and I know that Eva is going to want that for her room because she is a fan of Harry Potter and the wizarding world.

There are so many cool items in the box, one of the best so far. You can see my unboxing video below.

Benedict Wong on the Importance of Comic Books, Dreams and Pocket Change at the #DoctorStrangeEvent

A few weeks ago I attended the Doctor Strange Press Junket, or rather #DoctorStrangeEvent, I was one of 25 bloggers there for Walt Disney Studios (Disclosure: All-Expenses Paid). When I learned that Benedict Wong has been cast as the character Wong in Doctor Strange I knew that I had to get out to this press trip. I had to be a part of it just so I could get a chance to talk to him, even if it was to ask a question and nothing more. I am a big fan of his work on Marco Polo and I had to refrain from addressing him as “Great Khan”. Seriously, he is a great actor and a presence on screen. In person he is an affable fellow who laughs and smiles easily. This is a very different person from his character in Doctor Strange. Wong is an incredibly serious character. He knows what is at stake should the sorcerers fail in their mission. He also knows that being the keeper of the library is important because the last librarian met with a pretty terrible fate.

For some reason Wong’s nature vexes Doctor Strange and he makes it his mission to get the guy to crack a smile. There are many scenes where Wong provides the comic relief just by being so stoic. Many of my favorite scenes were with Doctor Strange and Wong. So, when Benedict Wong entered the room I was so thrilled. We then began to ask him questions about his time working on Doctor Strange. I even got to ask one of the questions.
