New online exclusive Hot Topic shirt
 
-Just ordered this today. I dont purchase many TMNT shirts but I love the Mirage styling with new school twist. Reminds me of Turtles forever.

LeoNerdo 10-03-2011 04:31 PM
Man, I really like that. I'm gonna get one!

Jephael 10-03-2011 04:48 PM
Aw man, I would so buy that if I had the money!

Sword Slicin' Leo 10-03-2011 04:52 PM

Powder 10-03-2011 05:31 PM
Oh.

My.

God.

I'm buying the SH*T outta that shirt. Mirage/Playmates esque art parodying the worlds most dangerous group, NWA?!

I'M THERE.

Eiko 10-03-2011 06:02 PM
That is one cool shirt.

ToTheNines 10-03-2011 06:41 PM
I'd go for it if the headbands were red.

Archon_Turtle 10-03-2011 07:53 PM
IMO, once again hot topic manages to screw up a perfectly good shirt by slapping some stupid "edgy" slogan on it.

"Ninja$ with Attitude"?

At least it isn't powder blue.

Not exactly, it's a parody of this.

Best shirt Hot Topic ever created - original E & L Turtles w/ colored bandanas, or as Powder pointed out, just like the original Playmates packaging.

It's mine - even with that lame slogan.

Does anybody know if it's in store yet? I'd rather buy it in-store than get nailed with shipping.

I think its the dollar sign S that offended me. And isnt the "TMNT" parodying the "NWA" already?

:lol: Yeah, same here.

Archon_Turtle 10-03-2011 08:02 PM
If I was going to parody the cover, I think I would have actually done it. Got rid of the dumb yellow slogan, added the parental advisory label, and probably put "Straight Outta New York" on the bottom.

hop to it, photoshoppers!

I get that. But in adding an element completely new to the composition (in this case, the yellow banner), it creates a significant difference between the two images and makes it more difficult for people to pick up on the visual parody.

[Rant] Plus the banner is ugly and the $ is stupid. [/Rant]

I see you're point. I wasn't exactly thrilled with it at first glance myself.

Spitfire 10-03-2011 08:46 PM
"Straight outta Northampton" would have been funnier and more relevant. Also no idea why their belts are colored as well.

Kendamu 10-03-2011 08:50 PM
I don't mind the NWA thing at the top. I might get this shirt.
