January 16th, 2017As we're heading into some really awesome exclusive Transformers items in our upcoming ORIGINS Loot Crate DX, we started looking back at how silly and easily gif-able the Robots in Disguise actually were! We compiled some fun reactions to get you hyped for our ORIGINS throwbacks!
When someone's acting a fool and you've got nothing...
January 16th, 2017To say a lot has changed in the years since the creation of Loot Crate is an understatement. When we shipped our first crate in 2012, we had just one crate option instead of the many we have today, shipped in a simple and unassuming white box with a hand stamp of our logo. We've certainly upped our game since those days, so as we lead up...
January 13th, 2017It's easy to sometimes forget the crazy voices and sounds from cartoons that shape how we hear our beloved favorites for years to come! For this week's Friday Five, we're revisiting our youth for ORIGINS and letting nostalgia have at our weekends!

January 12th, 2017Last February, we celebrated the release of the new Deadpool movie with our very own twisted take on the regenerating degenerate! Looters LOVED our exclusive t-shirt featuring the "Merc with a Mouth" shouting in excitement about one of his favorite things: TACOS! Our DEAD crate was a fan favorite last year, with this t-shirt making the...
January 12th, 2017Chances are, you’ve heard someone say (or made the argument yourself) “Superman is too powerful.” You’ve also probably heard some jokes about him not understanding the fundamental concept of underwear, but we’re just going to focus on that first issue today. Superman’s powers have actually fluctuated wildly over the years....

In the shadow of the Hill Valley Clock Tower of Back To The Future fame and around the corner from what was the Roxxon Gas Station as seen in Agent Carter, a fight for the fate of humanity quietly wages. A diverse array of background actors ride bikes up and down the propaganda-lined street as they get several takes of Josh Holloway...
January 10th, 2017One of the perks at Loot Crate HQ is that we are a dog-friendly office. With a great environment for dogs, there is never a day that goes by that there isn't at least one lovable, huggable pup for us to spoil.
Meet some of our furry companions!:

January 9th, 2017When you think about the things that scare you, do you think about why they do? What draws you in, grabs you by the spine and sends those tingles of anticipation and anxiety through your system? Capcom has made it a habit to find a balance within the supernatural, the science and the reality of fear just to bring you the Resident Evil...
January 9th, 2017(This article was co-written along with Shawn Aldridge.)
The story starts in the 1960s. Kind of. The age of computers, at least as we know them, is in its infancy. Over at MIT, “hacks” are actually a good thing. They’re just shortcuts that programmers use.
It isn’t really until 1971 that things take a turn. A man named John...

January 6th, 2017We sat down recently with Michelle Mauk, Loot Anime's Brand Creative Lead. What does that job entail? Michelle leads the discussion when it comes to product assortment, theme selection, and of course, what anime/manga titles we choose to include! Michelle is a long time anime fan, so you can bet she knows her stuff.

January 5th, 2017Fate tests us all, but when push comes to shove and the world seems to be in disorder,
do you keep with the status quo, or go rogue and revolt?
That was the question we asked in last month's video for December's theme -- "Revolution". The aforementioned short presented the dichotomy of a totalitarian uprising and a rebellion group...
January 5th, 2017There were few things that flooded the mainstream quite like Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles did in the late 80s. It was an intense and pure attachment to something that I'm sure Kevin Eastman and Peter Laird had no idea would cling to children and adults alike.
Think about it: A story that takes place in modern-day New York about...
January 4th, 2017Each month, one lucky Looter is given the chance to win something EPIC. Something so awesome, it couldn’t possibly fit in one of our Loot Crates. And this past December, Loot Crate and 20th Century Fox partnered together to change one Looter’s life with the Assassin’s Creed Mega Crate Experience.

January 4th, 2017In Joss Whedon's future 'Verse of Firefly and Serenity, Western and Eastern influences are equal at the root of culture. Everyone grows up speaking Mandarin as well as English; here are some guides to some of the dialogue heard in the Firefly series!:

January 3rd, 2017Every month, we send out surveys to Looters asking them to tell us what they think about our crates and all the cool stuff in ‘em. According to YOUR ratings, these 20 were the best of the best in 2016!:
