A [not so] long time ago in a city [not so] far, far away…

Here at TruffleShuffle our range of officially licensed Star Wars T-Shirts & Gifts seems to be growing faster than the Millennium Falcon in hyperdrive. So what better time to give you a quick rundown on some of my favourite t-shirts.

Whether you’re an AT-AT addict, a sucker for a Stormtrooper or go delirious for Darth we have something you’ll love! Our wide range of products owes thanks to some great brands creating even greater designs!! Chunk, Junkfood and Fabric Flavours have created some real gems. Chunk cleverly mix your favourite characters into modern day situations bringing a fun twist to some classic intergalactic stars. Junk Food boast some seriously retro artwork, these will definitely ‘flick the switches’ for all the die-hard Star Wars fans. And don’t think we’ve forgotten about those up and coming Luke Skywalkers as Fabric Flavours has some brilliant t-shirts and babygrows.

With such an ‘out of this world’ collection of brilliant officially licensed Star Wars t-shirts and gifts I thought I’d better pick out some of my highlights.

First off, A surfing Wookie. I can’t imagine paddling to catch that perfect wave when suddenly a wookie ‘drops in’ on you and steals that perfect moment. Luckily, this probably isn’t going to happen but that didn’t stop Chunk creating this amazing design. Yours for just £27.99.

Continuing the sports theme, have you ever wondered what what Yoda’s right hook would feel like? Well, it turns out when he’s not busy being a Jedi master or a DJ for that matter he like nothing more than a few rounds in the ring. This t-shirt from Chunk is an absolute knock out at £27.99

Obsessively Awesome or a Tat Too Far?

TMNT Krang Stomach Tattoo

I got sent this picture on Facebook the other day as I was wasting away my Sunday with the hope of someone turning up at my door with a hot Roast dinner in hand to cure my hangover.

It made me laugh as it's an awesome idea for a tattoo and in an absolutely perfect position but it got me thinking, just how far are my fellow tat fans prepared to go to show their love for their ultimate pop culture icons?

I didn't have to look hard - appears there are a whole host of fellow nostalgia fans out there who will go pretty damn far in their quest to show their appreciation for all things old school. Here's a few of my favourites.

Nintendo sleeve (plus Megatron!)

This full sleeve is made up mostly of Nintendo characters with Megatron randomly chucked in (apparently he was there before the owner of said tattoo decided to go all out with a full sleeve.) Not being a Mario fan as a kid, I guess I always wanted Megatron to turn up at Bowsers castle and show Mario how you start a ruckus so this definitely floats my boat.
