REVIEW:2018 Cryptozoic DC Bombshells II (GIVEAWAY!!)

It's time to go retro again with the return of Cryptozoic's DC Comics Bombshells trading cards!

Let's check out the WORLD PREMIER break of this product as it doesn't release until 10-17-2018.

In every box of 2018 Cryptozoic DC Bombshells II, there are 24 packs of 5 cards each. There's even an exclusive Golden Goddess or Golden God DC Lil Bombshells figure in each hobby box along with a chance at a sketch card that falls 1:24 packs. There are no guarantees, but I would honestly expect one. Each box runs $85.

When you open up your box, you will see this.

Here was my guaranteed figures which is a Golden God of The Joker. Super cool very detailed figure. This alone was a great way to kick off the box. Other figures you can find are, Harley Quinn, Raven, Starfire, and Superman.

The base card set is 63 cards and you should be able to build a base set per box. The design features a red foil and artistic interpretations of the 1940s-inspired characters. The base set art was taken from the Sketch Cards of the previous release. I think they look amazing.

The base cards are crystal clear and high gloss.

Most of the base set features two of each

I thought I would also show off the back of the card which is sepia with art from the front and details on who drew the art.

There are parallels to find as well. Instead of the red, you will find Gold that falls 1:3 packs

or Rainbow Foilboard that falls 1:8 packs. I always love the rainbow foilboard. 

Here are some of the insert/chase cards you can find. I would expect a few parallels from each, same odds and parallels as the base, along with complete sets of each one. They feature the same red foil as the base as their base.

New Bombshells Covers falls 1:3 packs.

Gold Foil.

Batgirls falls 1:3 packs and features a really cool throwback feel to them. Nicely done.

Gold parallel

Lil Golden Goddesses / Gods Production Sketches fall 1:3 packs. They look pretty impressive and stand out in person.

Gold parallel.

Terrific Twosome falls 1:3 packs and has some great pairings along with some fun artist interpretations like this one of the Joker and Harley.

Rainbow Foil parallel

Membership Cards fall 1:28 packs and don't feature the high gloss as the rest of the cards. The look and feel is literally of a membership card. This one is numbered to 599. Not sure if they all are numbered or not. I couldn't find that information.

Back:

Now onto my hit. You can find printing plates and sketch cards.

Here was my 1/1 Sketch Card find. So bright and vibrant. These fall 1:24 packs.

And to my surprise a few packs later, a bonus hit! 1:247 packs and you will find a printing plate!
Not too bad at all!

Other hits I didn't find but you might include,
  • CZ STR PWR - Red falls 1:144 packs
  • CZ STR PWR - Silver falls 1:288 packs
  • CZ STR PWR - Gold that is /25
  • CZ STR PWR - Black that are 1/1

OVERALL: It's a nice looking product from top to bottom. I have seen some of the other sketch hits and they are quite impressive. The added figure adds extra value in every box along with complete sets of every thing in here. My box was a tad better with the bonus Printing Plate find.
