The box comes with a handy card detailing the items included.

Rogue One POP Shirt – I’m not a big fan of the POP style shirts, but the design is pretty cute. And of course, it’s yet ANOTHER black shirt.

EXCLUSIVE Jyn Erso Funko POP – This exclusive has Jyn wearing much different clothing than other POPs, complete with hat and goggles.

Then, Lois Lane decided to act like a cat and get in the way…

EXCLUSIVE Imperial Death Trooper Funko POP – This exclusive Death Trooper is “decorated with an ammunition belt packed with explosives” and holds a gun, at ease. He’s pretty cool-looking.

EXCLUSIVE Darth Vader Mini Hikari – Funko is trying something new, yet again. This is the first ever Mini Hikari. It’s definitely not as ugly as full-size Hikaris. But I’m definitely not collecting these. This came in 5 colors that subscribers could have received. Thankfully, I received the sparkly black.

Summary: Funko ruined this box with spoilers almost a month ago. So there wasn’t anything that got me excited. The shirt and exclusive POPs were fine. And I was thrilled for a minute when I thought we all got a 3rd POP this month, only to see that the 3rd was actually a Mini Hikari. Bummer. I’m REALLY hoping Funko doesn’t let out spoilers for those of us who like to be surprised. They emailed it to everyone last month.

Next box theme…. THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK! There is a spoiler for this one, but I’m actually really excited about it as it’s a POP Ride!
