Geek Apparel of the Week: Battle Damaged
You’re looking at the t-shirt incarnation of my two favorite childhood toys. I’m looking at my empty wallet and crying. He-Man.org has these two shirts–plus “non-damaged” versions, plus awesome shirts referencing everything MotU from Ninjor’s dragon crest to the glow-in-the-dark ring Mattel used to pack in with every figure. At $27 each, they are a bit pricey, but the sales help He-Man.org run, which I’m totally fine with. Check out their full selection here, and tell ’em Topless Robot sent you (because if you guys buy enough, maybe they’ll send me one. XL, please!).
About The Author
Robert Bricken is one of the original co-founders of the site formerly known as Topless Robot, and its first editor-in-chief, serving from 2008-12. He brought the site to prominence with “nerd news, humor and self-loathing” as its motto, raising it from total internet obscurity to a readership in the millions, with help from his savage “FAQ” movie reviews and Fan Fiction Fridays. Under his tenure Topless Robot was covered by Gawker, Wired, Defamer, New York magazine, ABC News, and others, and his articles have been praised by Roger Ebert, Avengers actor Clark Gregg, comedian and The Daily Show correspondent John Hodgman, the stars of Mystery Science Theater 3000 and Rifftrax, and others. He is currently the managing editor of io9.com. Despite decades as both an amateur and professional nerd, he continues to be completely unprepared for either the zombie apocalypse or the robot uprising.
