| I thought I would make a new thread to unveil the shirts we've been making. All of us attending CV will be sporting the Empire Strikes Back 45 Figure Kenner "unpunched" Card Back Watto's Junk Shop T-shirt!!! James also has some contest ideas in the works for these limited edition Watto's ESB Shirts! Let us hear your feedback!!!

| I will also be unveiling a few of my shirt designs in this thread later on today. I am really excited about the artwork I've been doing. DF and a few others have seen some of it, but I want to offer all Watto's members the opportunity to have these unique designs for their own! More to come... | |

| Okay, I'm starting to feel a little like Ashley Eckstein with Her Universe, lol! Some of you have seen this in other posts but it is finally on fabric! My ESB Bounty Hunter design. This was the most difficult since there are so many different pictures to size. It took forever but is finally done! | |

| I thought about Empire and the 30th anniversary and what stands out about that film. Everyone has to admit that when you were a kid and you saw Luke in that Wampa cave using the force to grab his lightsaber, that was the moment he became your childhood hero! Well, I went with a Hoth theme since it is about one third of the movie. Since the Wampa kills the Tauntaun I thought this was a pretty funny idea for the back of the shirt. I borrowed the CE logo because I love the shape of it and just through a V on the bottom for CV. I also have a bloody version of the Wampa in my deviantART gallery but this is the "Clean as Hoth Snow" version. http://adamkronewitter.deviantart.com/gallery/ | |

| And here we have the Zuckuss/4-LOM Kenner joke shirt. I thought this was a great idea since we called these two by opposite names for YEARS without knowing the truth! From StarWars.com, "But perhaps the greatest confusion came from Kenner toys, who produced the Zuckuss and 4-LOM action figures with their names reversed. It was not until Galaxy Guide 3: The Empire Strikes Back came out in 1989 that this error was corrected. Some bounty hunters just can't get any respect." | |

| That's all of the fashion show for now. I have a Yoda on the way since he played a HUGE role in ESB. If anyone has ideas for something to go on the back of that I will entertain them. I'm not quite sure what to do with it yet and I only have two weeks left until I leave! As for other ESB ideas, of course the "Luke, I am your father" has crossed my mind but I'm not sure how to portray that on a shirt. That was probably the biggest cinematic experience of my life to date! I couldn't believe it for three years. I was in denial until Jedi!!! EDIT:Oh yeah, I almost forgot! I wanted to show you the idea my wife came up with. She made this shirt for my son to wear around autograph hall! That should be a hoot! Especially when they see the "RESERVED" space. LOL! For those who may not know, these are all of the Star Wars actors my son has gotten to meet this year at his first couple of conventions. Ray Park (Darth Maul), Daniel Logan (Boba Fett), Jeremy Bulloch (Boba Fett), Steve Sansweet (Head of Lucasfilm Fan Relations), Felix Silla (Ewok(s) in ROTJ, and Peter Mayhew (Chewbacca). | |

The CV themed one is really funny.
Very cool shirts | |

| Maybe by next year we can have some things like this planned out. I'm sure I'll be hitting more conventions too. I'll be going to Wizard World the week after CV so I plan to promote when I can there also. Man, I'm gonna be dead.
Thanks for all of the compliments! | |

| The shirts are FANTASTIC!!! I can't believe the time you have put in to get them done!!
Morning Light, if I had thought it through a little more, I have some cards I could have sent you to hand out! I think after C5, I will have to try to get some more done up. That job was done on the down low, with help from a few people at work. I will have to see what the actuall cost would be to have some printed up.
Xaos, this is just an idea, but if the shirts take off, maybe you could offer them up for sale.... Take a little for your time and effort, and maybe roll a little of the money into promo, such as get more cards and mini posters printed?
We could try to do something like the Forcecast guys, have some shirts for sale to promo the site. Just a thought, but maybe it would work.
