Brand new Dark Crystal tees for all you epic adventurers!
We always listen to our fans at TruffleShuffle and one of the most asked for requests has always been for Dark Crystal T-Shirts, so we are very pleased to announce the arrival of our first exclusive and official, own brand Dark Crystal tees!
The Dark Crystal is a 1982 fantasy film directed by the legendary Jim Henson and Frank Oz. The storyline involved Jen, an elf like 'Gelfling' and his quest to restore balance to his fantasy world by returning a lost shard of the dark crystal back to the powerful but broken gem. The film had a whole host of memorable characters including the Skesis, who were an evil race of grotesque birdlike lizards and who used to scare a generation of children enough to hide behind the sofa! After work on the Dark Crystal had finished Henson and Oz's next project would turn out to be the film Labyrinth, one of TruffleShuffle's all time favourites!
This fab new Dark Crystal design focus on Kira and Jen, but also has appearances from other characters including Aughra the wild-haired seer, Urzah the mystical urRu and Fizzgig the loveable pet. The ladies Dark Crystal tee is available in a sport grey colour for £19.99 and the mens Dark Crystal tee is in a darker Charcoal colour, also for £19.99. It's the perfect chance to show your love for this classic film!
Me love cookie (Cookie Monster that is!)
Although Sesame Street spawned a tonne of my favourite childhood characters, it was Cookie Monster who ruled my heart as a kid growing up!
Yes - Elmo was adorable and I was partial to a bit of learning to Count with The Count but for me, the connoisseur de crumbs was my absolute fave! With his deep, growly voice, and childlike chatter (Me want cookie!) even as a grown up, I can't seem to resist that bright blue fur and trademark googly eyes!
As his name implies, Cookie Monster just loves cookies (donât we all!) and can usually be found munching away on his favourite treats (OMM-nom-nom-nom...) but luckilly for me, he's also taken time out of his hectic shcedule to star on some of our official Sesame Street Tees!
The perfect way for us grown ups to pay tribute to the voracious monster, check out some of our exclusive designs below....
