?? A little Samus Aran-Metroid-themed World War II pin-up fighter plane-nose art-style? Nice! I particularly like the ships at the bottom. It’s available for $12 at Nowhere Bad for the next three days. You can also get the image as a print for $10, or get both the shirt and the print for $20. Neat!

?? I’m more a fan of the Tatooine Banthas, but to each his own. It’s $11 at The Yetee, today only. The breath coming from the tauntaun is a nice touch.

?? Um, I don’t have to tell you how much I love the bejeezus out of this Final Fantasy VII tee, do I? I didn’t think so. It’s $30 at Insert Coin.
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.
