Loot Crate Level Up Review (Socks) – August 2015

Disclosure: There are no affiliate links in this post. This box was paid for by me.

My teenaged son loves socks. His friends are into the wildest, craziest socks that they can find. He couldn’t wait to try out the Loot Crate Level Up Socks. Loot Crate Level Up is only available as an add-on to Loot Crate. Level Up is not available as a standalone purchase.

Here’s the information card for the Loot Crate LEVEL UP Villains 2 August box.  My older son loves socks. Socks are a big deal in his peer group.

T was disappointed in the villains that were selected. He requested that I put them up on swap. Email me if you are interested in the socks – subbellaboxes at yahoo dot com. Otherwise, I’ll put them on swap in a couple of days.

The Bioworld brand Master of the Universe Skeletor Mens Crew Socks are made in China. The fabric content is 68% acrylic, 30% polyester, and 2% Spandex.  Neither T or I know why Skeletor was selected. I was unable to find anything about a new film, movie, etc. coming out.

I wanted to be He-Man, not She-Ra when I was little.

 

Reverse Flash

I asked T why was Flash included in a villain crate with the wrong colors. Duh mom, it is Reverse Flash. The Bioworld brand mens crew socks are made in China. The fabric content is 68% acrylic, 30% polyester, and 2% Spandex. I could not find any information about upcoming Reverse Flash movies. T was unimpressed.

Updated: Thank you Ronnie for letting me know that Reverse Flash was the main villiian on The Flash TV Series.. Season 2 is scheduled to begin on October 6th, 2015. Now I am more impressed with the socks 🙂

Remember, reverse colors = villains.

Verdict: My teenager loved last month’s crate. He loves Batman and Captain America. His favorite thing about Captain America is that he is the most dangerous Avenger because he inspires them. He was unable to relate to the socks in this month package. He felt that it was geared more towards men my age who grew up with the villains.  It’s personal taste and the POV of a teenager. I did cancel both my Loot Crate and Level Up subscriptions for now. That’s always subject to change.

          I’ve been toying with how to craft a she ra running costume for the Disney princess half marathon. If I can manage a headband with those weird wing things I anticipate so many high fives my hand will fall off!

            It will be INSANE! I sorta just wanna wear one around like it is totally normal for me to do so. “Yeah, this is the traditional gear for the Princess of Power what of it?”

            Ronnie – That sounds perfect!

            Ok, you guys convinced me- I just ordered a t-shirt that looks like her dress (and has her sword in the back!) to turn into a running shirt. Now I have 5 months to become crafty enough to make the headband!

    Reverse flash was the main villain on the last season of The Flash tv show and the season ended with a major cliffhanger! So that one at least is pretty timely. Skeletor, no idea. There were rumblings a couple years ago about a live action masters of the universe, but I don’t think they ever came to anything.

      Ronnie, thank you! I will update my review.

    OMG! I would LOVE purple Skeletor socks! Purple is my favorite color and we loved He-man & She-Ra as kids! There was this mentally-challenged boy in our neighborhood that we played with who would always call us villain names: “Skeeeeelaaaatoooor!” And when we got older, he called us “Commies”. Ah, the good ole days. 🙂

    I hope you find socks to swap for that your son is more interested in!

    • September 1, 2015 at 8:29 pm

      They are on their way to Subscriptionista who has plans for them 🙂

    Does anyone know where I can get another copy of the flash sock because my daughter wore them and messed them up they belonged to my son i have been looking everywhere.

    • September 25, 2015 at 8:52 am

      Have you tried superherostuff.com? I ordered from them before without issues although the shipping costs were a little high in my opinion. They carry Bioworld products. I had a hard time finding the socks online this time.

      I’ll check with my son to see if he hasn’t used his pair yet.
