I met Marvel’s first family robot H.E.R.B.I.E, and it’s left me even more excited for the Fantastic Four movie

In less than a month’s time, Reed Richards, Sue Storm, Johnny Storm and Ben Grimm will hit the big screen in Marvel’s The Fantastic Four: First Steps across the globe. And with its premiere date of July 25 fast approaching, Disney and Marvel are squarely focused on the first family’s reintroduction into the cinematic universe.

I've been itching to see the much-anticipated film ever since the first teaser trailer for The Fantastic Four: First Steps was released, and while the final trailer for First Steps has got my excitement levels at new heights, the film's merchandise looks just as exciting to tide me over. I had the chance to check out all the new First Steps products and drops – yes, there's a new Lego set featuring the Family Plus and Galactus – plus some impressive watches from Citizen and Fossil.
