View Full Version : Hey, my old TMNT shirts still fit!
Yeah, I'm serious, the old ones I wore back in the late eighties-early ninties (when I was around eight) still fit. Well, not FIT fit, they're a little tight, and I had to cut the collars off (several of my baggy t-shirts have the collars cut off too, it's a weird psych-thing I have) but they fit! *jumps around*
A couple are full of holes and will probably be "hanging around the house" shirts, but my cool black movie Tee is still in great shape! Wish I had a decent web cam so I could show you guys. Heck, I may fire up the old green-toned one!
So, anybody else have any old TMNT clothes? Do they still fit well enough to wear in public?

Hey that's great Kali! :smile: Sadly I don't think I still have any of the turtle clothes, I'm pretty sure my parents gave them to good will many years ago. :sad:

:sad: I want to buy a new TMNT shirt at Hot Topic, but I haven't had the opportunity to go yet.

Thats so cool Kali! I'm sorry to say that I never owned any TMNT t-shirts. :sad: I need to get one soon.

Well, I know I kept the white shirt I had when I was 13, it was a group pic and baggy, so it'll prolly still fit. ThoughI hate baggy tshirts, usually.
I also had a black Raph one of him looking mad, (but I think it said Cowabunga on it...) I'm not sure if I still have that one...
They're both at my mam's house about 70 miles away, so I'm gonna check when I go back to visit now! :grin:

I wish I had a TMNT Tee Shirt, but I could probably never wear it in public :sad:

Oh, I would wear mine in public! :grin:
I'm definitely gonna wear mine in public! My old one, and my new one!

Gah! I wish I knew where my t-shirt is... or if I even still have it! :sad: It was pink with the logo & a group pic with dialogue... & I think I last saw it in '92. I just pulled out my fifth grade yearbook to look at the shirt, which I was fortunate enough to be wearing when a candid pic of me & a friend was taken. I had a beltbag & I think I had sneakers, too...
The shirt might fit... if I could *find* it, or I'll just hafta buy a new one *grumbles*

I've always wanted a TMNT baseball cap, but I can't seem to find one. I've even searched ebay. No such luck.
Dude, make one yourself! Buy a Hot Topic sticker or logo patch and a blank cap and there you go. That's how I got my TMNT halter-top.

Ooh...now there's an idea! Thanks, Kali! Now I've gotta find some stickers...

Uhmm... *can't decide if this is a scary thread or not* :wink: Heh.. well, I wasn't really into the cartoon TMNT clothing stuffs when they first came out, so I don't have any of those.
It wasn't until a few years ago, before there was HotTopic and after the TMNT cartoon stuff went extinct, did I notice that the TMNT Mirage site had some really cool City at War/comicbook shirts for sale. Unfortuantely, I was too late by the time I saw this, and they were all sold out. Waaahh!
The only thing I had then was the promotional black with white print "Surf the Web" t-shirt the site sent to those who won in the art contest. It was really big too, so I wasn't too excited about it.
Yeah, I was thrilled when the first run of cool Hot Topic tees came out. I bought only one baby tee with all four TMNT stadning there, thinking they would still have these around later. But then all those sold out! So I had to settle with a baggy T that had jumping Raph on it. That's all I got now, just those three. (the baby tee is the only one I'll wear in public, cause it's so stylin) *shuts up now*

Yeah... I hate wearing the baggy ones, they're not exactly flattering.
I'm hoping more baby tee's come out with the new cartoon.... or I'll just go to one of those tshirt places and ask to print one. Then I can choose the picture. :smile:
(My friend made her sister a Star Wars t-shirt doing that. With a Wedge Antillies picture :lol: )
I wanted to get a custom made shirt, but I could never settle on a picture. Plus I never got around to asking if they'll do copyrighted stuff.
I hate baggy shirts too, not very flattering at all. I wish I could have gotten one of the baby doll tees, although my kid-sized one fits rather fine. LOL! I put it on and my brother said, "I can't believe you got your head through that!" Personally, my head wasn't the part of my anatomy I was worried about. :razz:

Heh... I love baggy tees, of course I don't exactly have the best figure so I prefer the baggy kind. :wink:
I *really* wish there was a HotTopic around here *grumbles* And why can't they sell the tees on their web site? I looked a few weeks back & found nothing turtles related *grumbles again*

Amazingly enough, Leo & Raph have been pretty well behaved... so far. :wink:

:lol: There are disadvantages to being, er, "gifted" on that department...not something my character has to cope with, but I, on the other hand...
As far as the TMNT shirts go, I'm trying to go into the city tonight to see Spiderman, since they just stopped showing it here out in the boondocks. (that's Texas slang for the middle of nowhere...) I just finished the Spiderman book, btw -- you guys HAVE to read it, I couldn't put it down! Fortunately for me, my manager didn't seem to mind, but then, cashier/hostesses tend to have a lot of down time... :wink: ). Anyway, the theater's in the mall, so I'm gonna try and stop in Hot Topic while I'm there and get me a t-shirt, since I FINALLY have money! (Graduation cash is a good thing, oh yeah!) And I will PROUDLY wear mine in public, thank-you very much! :grin:

If this makes ya feel better, Azure... after seeing SW:Attack of the Clones, I decided Spider Man was a much better movie! It was funny, hubby was dying for Attack of the Clones to end, after all that sappy romance made him balk. :lol:

:lol: I thought your husband was the one who really wanted to see Episode II?? Ah well. I thought the romance in Spider-Man was much better than the love story in Clones. Bah...

I just had the comics, some button (but I lost the Mikey one and couldn't find a Donnie one) a couple of t-shirts and srtangely enough a Donatello hankerchief!

I can beat that... when I was 15 in 1990, all I had was the TMNT movie, the soundtrack, a poster, a cartoon hankerchief, and some stickers.
Then I got a job! :wink:

Bah! I just had the action figures and a few cartoon episodes. I had two or three TMNT shirts, but those are gone. :sad:
