Post by: tailrustedtealeaf on May 07, 2019, 08:11:05 PM: I found this interesting shirt on eBay...

I am...enamored? Enchanted? Does anyone know where this shirt came from or where it was sold? Certainly an odd choice for a design...
I might have to throw something on Teepublic with a different pony so I can buy one for myself.
Also, show me any other weird retro merch you've seen pop up, just for fun. :P

Can't say I come across random retro merch locally very often anymore.

ETA: I think it says freeze.
Not sure of that brand, I'm sure it showed up in some Dept stores or maybe online? https://www.dresscodeclothing.com/p/my-little-pony-mens-stud-pony-t-shirt-1180463

There's other sizes on eBay

ETA: Target carried the grey men's shirt with Glory that said "Ponies Forever". That was also Freeze.

So safe to say department stores that carry that brand

Post by: LadyMoondancer on May 08, 2019, 11:34:20 AM: The zippos are not licensed, the eBay sellers would print out images of popular characters from all sort of movies / toylines and slip them under the clear plastic.

Thanks LadyMoondancer. :) I always wondered about them also as I couldn't picture Hasbro approving using MLP on lighters.
