Neff Headwear started in 2002 as a maker of beanies for snowboarders and skaters. They have expanded from selling headwear in a single shop in Utah to selling headwear and other apparel in over 45 countries and online. In December 2016, they offered licensed apparel for Rogue One available in a limited edition box which includes an exclusive cover for Doctor Aphra #1. This is the only Neff Box offered to date and despite being limited, this box can still be order at neffbox.com. In the months this box has been available, there have been online coupons which makes the price more appealing to purchase, especially if you are only interested in the comic.
The Rogue One items are packed in an attractive black box clearly branded for Rogue One and Neff Headwear.
Each box contains:
1 of 3 Neff Headwear Rogue One t-shirts
1 of 3 Neff Headwear Rogue One baseball caps
1 of 3 Neff Headwear Rogue One beanies
1 of 3 Funko Rogue One bobbleheads
A signed copy of Star Wars Catalyst: A Rogue One Novel
Doctor Aphra #1 Neff Box exclusive
Overall, I was only interested in the comic book and the novel, but I will definitely wear the t-shirt and the baseball cap. Since I live in Phoenix, there won't many opportunities to use the beanie as it does not get cold enough here. I also do not collect the Funko bobbleheads. Overall, the $99 price for this box is about twice what I would spend on the items I wanted and will use, so it was definitely prudent to use a coupon before making the purchase.
The Doctor Aphra #1 exclusive cover is by David Nakayama. Nakayama's first comic work was penciling the 6 page story The Apprentice in Star Wars Tales #17.
Not many of these comics have sold on eBay, but one is currently listed at $80. Since this is still available from the source, it would be cheaper to use a coupon to purchase the box to get the comic, plus you will also receive other items.
