New online exclusive Hot Topic shirt - Page 2

*Powder* · 10-03-2011, 09:20 PM

I can understand the $ complaint, I've always thought of it's use in place of S was pretty lame. Outside of that, it's great to me.
I personally love the the colored belts, it was something only seen on occasion, like in Tournament fighters (SNES) & the Storage Shell figures.
A little change of pace does no harm.

Geez people, always got something to complain about Eh? It's a cool shirt and more original than 95 percent of the other crap we get.

Pretty sweet looking shirt. I'll have to see if they ship to Canada before I order it

Not that I don't think it's unique, there's just something about it that I'm just not quite feeling.

Using "Ninja" in place of "*****" stopped being unique the first 5 times they did it.

*Samhain* · 10-04-2011, 12:43 AM

Well, if you were a fan of N.W.A and the turtles this shirt would be right up your alley.

Haven't I already shown my excitement in 2 or 3 posts?

I guess all I'm saying there have been other things that "appeal to to small an audience" to be made, and then...this...

I will say this shirt is pretty random.

I don't get why TMNT constantly gets lumped in with rap music when the original team that crafted TMNT into who they are all listened to metal. Fine the movies had pop soundtracks I get it but other then that turtles has never had anything to do with rap. I don't mind merch representing the turtles this way but a middle ground would be nice. If it's not this type of stuff it just has retarded catch phrases on it that the turtles would never say. Sorry but the last thing I ever wanted to see was a turtle with a grill.

I won't argue that this is awesome for fans of NWA and TMNT but where's something for fans of Testament and TMNT? Hell I'd even take Metallica.

My absolute least favorite piece of TMNT merch has to be that freakin' "Chicks dig guys that eat out" magnet. When did that make a resurgence. Didn't Laird kibosh that? Did Nick re-approve it?

Mie would have to be the ''Ninja please'' shirt with the turtle head with ''gold'' shiny teeth. Just ridiculous.

The Turtle with the Groucho Marx glasses is pretty "WTH!?"

Haha, yeah. I don't get that one. I would really like to know who is approving some of these T-shirt designs.

As retarded as it is I own the magnet and the shirt. Something about how inappropriate it is appeals to me. My favorite childhood show implicating oral sex. It's fun to wear at places like Disneyland, veiled lewdness.

Mirage approved it originally and I'm not aware of them ever un-approving it. And it's probably been sitting in the approved folder at the licensor ever since.

As for the shirt, I give it credit for actually being something new and not that hideous 2009 wannabe "retro" art that won't go away. The slogan doesn't bother me in this case, but the $ does. Still, I'm kinda past paying $20+ for a t-shirt.
