If anyone is looking to sell or can at least hook me up with a size Large shirt with artwork from or inspired by Mirage vol. 1 (not picky, anything from the cover image to Shredder), I would really appreciate it! Could pay using paypal or could mail a check.

Don't support that guy, he's bootlegging. Those designs belong to IDW & Viacom. If anything, have Tookie pick one up for you, man.

It's been done in recent years, they're just very hard to come by.

At this moment in time I only have this photo (credit to Discordiatookie)- http://i.imgur.com/ji7wb.jpg

This shirt is brand new and has thus far only been seen in the UK. There was a white one with Mirage art that Hot Topic put out a year or two ago. I can think of some others, too. Stylinonline used to have shirts with Mirage art.

yeah, I saw those redbubble shirts, but I wanted to hear from you guys here first before I made a decision. I can't find any decent TMNT shirts in stores, let alone any with Mirage art, and I've looked everywhere online, and can't find anything decent, except for the redbubble stuff.

Ive ordered Shirts before on redbubble (Not that
Comiccovers from that artist) but they have been good quality and nice print. Sad it is a bit expensiv for someone who lives overseas. Your choice if you want to buy bootleg shirts ( for myself i have no problem with that and would buy some too)

Available at kohls. They have some new Tmnt merch when I was there like 2 weeks ago.

We all missed out on this shirt I think.... The only problem is the headbands. Need them red. Bastardized comic version.

Making out the label, it's Asda's "George" clothing line. Looking at the website, it definitely has that shirt in stock for a lower than expected price:

Having gone through the checkout steps (but not paid yet), it's only available to order within the UK and Ireland.

A lot of stores are doing free store/ship pick ups. Kmart needs to get on it. They have a neat Leo pillow

This is very nice. I will pop to my local ASDA tomorrow and see if they have any in stock. I could actually go now and check as they're open 24 hours (it's currently midnight) but I think I'd rather go to bed about now!

Technically, yeah those are bootleg but they look good and don't feature crappy knock off artwork. If these shirts, or something similar were available to purchase legitimately, I would say yeah, don't support the "bootlegger" but as it stands mirage inspired shirts are few and far between. This guy is filling a need that Viacom has yet to address and they look pretty sharp. They are simple, but still sharp.

If you like it, buy it. When and if Viacom wants my money for this kinda stuff they will provide me with product to buy.

The one I'm jelly about is the slight grey Mirage shrit that was sold at the Nick booth at SDCC.

One of my very first TMNT t-shirts from the early 90s has comic art on it. I recently found it and it still fits - woohoo!

My local ASDA didn't have any out to buy. And annoyingly they couldn't (or deliberately refused) to check if they had any in stock, insisting I used their click and collect service, which I have now had to do once home. Even worse their "next day" collection service tells me my order won't be available until 5pm Thursday 3rd Jan! I appreciate it's Christmas/New Year but 6 days is hardly "next day"!

For anyone from the US trying to track one down, just a quick note that UK T-Shirts generally aren't as good quality as the US ones (at least those that I've purchased before). US ones are a much thicker, heavier fabric and UK ones thinner and tend to stretch more/go out of shape over time. I wouldn't expect these shirts to be any different, especially as the George at ADSA brand is a budget brand.

Mine arrived in store today (far earlier than expected) so just picked them up. Quality is a bit better than I expected - reasonable value for the money I think. The hangars also have special "George at Asda" Turtles logo stickers on them so we could be due more items soon.

UK sizes differ from that of the US, right? Either way do you know if they have like, a 3XL equivalent there?

Cheesebrush
01-01-2013, 07:28 AM
I think UK sizes are similar to US sizes. I'd say UK is a bit smaller but I don't think there's that much in it.
The largest size listed for this shirt is XXL which Asda describe as 48-50 inch chest.
I bought the Large size (officially 42-44 inch chest) and I measured it and it's 21 inches across (which is 42 all the way round), so their measurements seem accurate enough.

Powder
01-01-2013, 08:02 AM
Ah, I see. I think I had a 48 inch chest when I was like 12, haha. I'm really broad shouldered, I guess I'll have to sit this one out. :'(

Cheers for the update, I may order a couple of the shirts myself. Not sure where my nearest Asda is currently, but it can't be too far.

Pretty neat, although I wouldn't wear any of those personally.

And the #1 cover is oddly redrawn.

I would love love love love to buy a NWT, unworn L or XL or XXL shirt that led to this thread...the grey one from George/Asda
I sincerely hope I have not left this too late...I have only now discovered how epic this is.
$ are standing by in my PayPal account; eyes peeled for your reply!
Thanks in advance.
