I received an orange mug, so if nothing else happens this Spook for me, I will be happy. I'm going to still be on the hunt for a blue one though...
Official assessment:
Packaging: mildly shocked to see it was just a brown shipper, but well packaged nonetheless. No one needs to worry about the safety of their mug, as it is well protected in large bubble wrap and another box interior to the main package.
Mort Plushie: Well, awesome, of course, what else were you expecting?
Mug: Awesome as well, much larger than two years ago, which is a highly welcome change.
Coffee: A silly addition, but fun nonetheless. Not sure if I want to take the chance of drinking it. I'm a coffee snob.
Calendar: Neat and will be useful of course.
Gift Card: Unnecessary, as usual. I never have need for them anymore. Plus it's only good until the end of October!
Wrist Band: Yeah, like that's going to fit me! Oh, actually it does. The last one I had from SS fit like a tourniquet. Cool. I'll sport it today and during Spook.
Mini Catalog: Neat addition for the newbies, but nothing any of the seasoned Sideshow freaks haven't seen before. Basically, a 16 page pamphlet with general information. All seems reprinted from previous catalogs.
