Nerd Block is a monthly mystery geek & pop culture subscription box. Every month includes a new shirt and Nerd Block boxes are typically filled with fun toys and figurines and other geek accessories. It really is a box for everyone who enjoys nerdy and pop culture things.

Nerd Block introduces the new Nerd Block Magazine. This month features gear from Stark Industries, the fictional mega tech corporation in Iron Man and other related Marvel universes.

The magazine comes with feature stories — this one goes over the many inventions of Tony Stark (and Howard Stark) marketed by Stark Industries.

… and the origin of Demogorgon.

The centerfold gives you a list of all the items included, plus a brief description of them. Everything this month is a Nerd Block exclusive!

A preview of what’s coming next month. February’s theme is “Time Travel.” I predict the Doctor will make an appearance!

Everything in the January box!

Arc Reactor Pin After being kidnapped by the Ten Rings in Afghanistan (or by Wong-Chu in Vietnam if you’re only familiar with the comics), Tony Stark ended up with shrapnel burrowing dangerously close to his heart. His life was saved using a magnet and a car battery, but he engineered a miniature version of his father’s arc reactor technology to replace it. The arc reactor has undergone a few upgrades (featuring one of my favorite movie scenes where his unawares PA Pepper Potts has to replace it) and the version on this pin is the first prototype version.

I’m psyched to have another Marvel pin for my collection – it’s sturdy and will look awesome on my bookbag.

Stark Industries Whiskey Tumbler Glasses Another Nerd Block exclusive officially licensed by Marvel – Tony Stark’s first movie appearance has him drinking scotch, and these nicely weighted whiskey glasses are a nice tribute. I myself prefer a glass of Jameson and these glasses will definitely come in handy. The Stark Industries logo is etched into the glass, not printed.

Not microwave safe.

Stark Industries Engraved Drinking Stones  And to go with your new whiskey glasses, whiskey stones! Though you could use these for anything to keep them cold.

Iron Man 3D Molded Mask Magnet This magnet is really well sculpted and painted!

It’s shiny but not metallic. It really does look ceramic.

The magnet on the back is super strong to hold it up.

The “Stark” Game of Thrones magnet was a happy accident.

Body Armor Blueprints T-Shirt The t-shirt this month is a dark navy with some blueprints printed on top in lighter blue.

Stark Industries early suit prototype!

The Gildan Softstyle fabric is great for tees like this – it’s a lighter and more breathable fabric than some of the heavier shirts.

There’s also a $10 coupon included when you purchase from the new Nerd Block shop.

Nerd Block this month was awesome, but I’m of course biased due to my love of Iron Man. I thought the items were actually really unique, especially the tumblers and whiskey stones.
