g1immer's Super Duper Analysis on "Is it Worth it?" Collection series

Part 3: Crate Crash - Sticker Sheet

We are finally starting with one of the items of the Crash Crate in today's analysis post! Part three and we haven't even really started the "Is it Worth it?" series yet, sorry everyone. As you can tell, I just love to write! In fact, I encourage you all reading this right now to put your fingers to the keyboard and write about something you are passionate about too! Feel free to advertise in my comments section at any time. Anyways, back to the post.

As you can see in the picture above, the sticker sheet contains seven stickers, listed below:

Crash Bandicoot logo (1 1/2 inch across, 1/2 inch up and down)

Wumpa Fruit (1 inch across, 1 inch up and down)

Crash Bandicoot face "extra life" (1 inch across, 1 inch up and down)

Aku Aku (1 inch across, ~2 inches up and down)

Basic Crate (1 1/2 inch across, ~1 inch up and down)

numskull logo ( ~1/2 inch across, 1 1/2 inch up and down)

Crash Bandicoot (2 inches across, ~2 inches up and down)

All stickers have enough space in-between each other on the sticker sheet to be able to grab them easily, shown in the picture below. What I've never understood about sticker sheets are how they are spaced. Between Aku Aku and Crash's outstretched hand, there could be enough room for another sticker, but as seen with the measurements above in my list, maybe a small sticker wasn't possible for what the team was going for.When thinking of what other items, characters or enemies they could add in the sticker sheet, I couldn't really come up with anything. I feel like a sticker of Coco Bandicoot or Cortex would have been a good idea and then smaller Wumpa Fruit stickers, but perhaps that was over their budget for producing the sticker sheet.

Okay, I will be honest with you about something. I have like eight or more stickers just sitting in one of my cabinet drawers because I love them, but never know where to put them! Stickers are so permanent, like tattoos, okay, maybe not that extreme, but still. I don't want to put a sticker somewhere and then regret it later. Yes, the laptop I'm using to write this has no stickers on it (you should see my sister's though)!

I did peel off a sticker to feel it and it does seem like a sturdy sticker with a strong adhesive. I can't be one hundred percent on this, but the sticker size is nice and would look good on just about anything. Each sticker has a slight white border too, which helps the sticker stand out on its surface wherever its placed. Below is an image of the back of the sheet, if you cared to see that. Looks like it was made in China, which makes me a little concerned. Will definitely have to look into this company - Long Bao.

As I said in the last post, this sticker sheet, according to numskull, was worth $5 USD as it was marketed on the packaging strip that was seen outside of the Crash Crate. Do I think its worth $5? Well, not to sound crass, but $5 isn't much money, and in comparison to other sticker sheets I've bought in the past, this one's quality is a bit better than others. I'd say its worth it, but I really do wish more characters were included on it. I don't really care about a Wumpa Fruit sticker or the numskull logo one. Did they do marketing research to see if anyone wanted a numskull one because no offense guys but I don't see anyone putting that in their notebook. I do think the logo, Aku Aku, life face, Crate and Crash stickers are worth the money, however. With those five stickers I guess each is worth a dollar then, huh? The colors of all the stickers are great and they all are iconic parts of the series (again, minus the the numskull sticker).

So, what do I plan to do with the stickers? Honestly, I will probably put them in that same drawer and let them gather dust. But, is that really a way to honor a $5 sticker sheet? Here are some ways I may use the stickers:

Cover of a folder I can dedicate to Crash Bandicoot art or maybe printed out blog posts?

Card to someone who loves Crash as much as I do, like my sister

My laptop (it is looking rather dull these days)

My planner (I do like putting stickers in this)

My desk

Do you have any other ideas for me? As always, thanks for reading!

Love,
