18 New Geek Monthly Mystery Box Subscriptions To Check Out

Welcome back to our Geek Monthly Mystery Box subscription round up! For anyone new to this concept, mystery subscription boxes are mail order boxes filled with “stuff” that you pay for on a monthly basis. The catch is that you have no idea what is going to be in the box month-to-month. You have to go on faith that what is being delivered, will match the value of the monthly subscription fee.

And if you’ve been following Gabbing Geek for a while, then you’ll know we did a 22 box review: Mystery Geek Box Monthly Subscriptions: The Good, The Bad, and The Geeky not too long ago. But since that post, the Geek Mystery Box market has added a few more contenders to the race!

Want to know how the new additions stack up agains the old trusties? Read on!

Original Geek Art: Little “Geeky Golden” Books

Remember way way back when you were a child and “little golden books” were a thing. You know – right after snack time, and right before nap time. Well JoeBot has reimagined all of our favorite geek properties into little golden books, and they are priceless. My favorite has to be the Metroid version, but you’ll have to decide for yourself which one you like best after the break:

Awesome Cosplay Of The Day: Princess Zelda

Link certainly has a lot to live up to when it comes to this beautiful rendition of Princess Zelda. Cosplayer Akuriko Costume and photographer Rikku-chan of TotallyToasty Info worked together to bring you this amazingly stunning photo shoot. The tricky thing is that neither of them planned for a night shoot, so any light you see is from their personal car lights. Pretty nifty trick once you see the rest of the photos!

Truly stunning from all angles. And – there’s a little surprise at the end for true fans! See video an completed project w/Sword after the break.
