Shirt.Woot

Matt Smith looks so happy to be the center of attention!

The fourth Dr Who, played by Tom Baker, did like Jelly Babies.

This shirt is so fantastic that I bought 2!

But it would take an artist to render that, and I am not he...

Sounds like this (only more Star Warsy)

That's pretty amazing. There is also this by Ian Leino:

Because gender-reorientation surgeons need money too, and the only way you're likely to start liking this cartoon-ey style is if you become a woman.

I believe the troop from the BBC program did a kinda funny spoof of what would happen if the 10th Doctor had himself over for Christmas.

I'm really on the fence as to whether I should buy this or not.

On the one hand, I usually don't get pop culture shirts (with the exception of it came out of nowhere) and I might like some more detail in the characters and background.

On the other hand, it looks like what you would get if someone made potter puppet pals style doctor who characters and that makes me laugh. This David Tennant actually bears an uncanny resemblance to PPP harry. I actually thought it was a Harry Potter shirt before I looked at it closely.

I love Escher, but somehow I just can't stand the cheesy cartoon characters on there at all. Would have been an easy buy if there were no people.

Doctor Who's never been so cute!!! thought this might have sold out by now.
congrats on the print!

I want to buy the shirt so bad, but it's hard when you make someone as hot as David Tennant look like Harry Potter.

But either way, the artist could have spent a little more time on the archway in the middle that looks mangled.

You mean "Relativity". (There's nothing real about this! C'mon!...)

Whichever Doctor I happen to me watching is my favorite Doctor at that time, save for McCoy, who I can't watch at all without someone restraining me from punching my television.

But I can't buy this tee shirt. The likenesses are not close enough to the characters. I'll stick with my "It came out of nowhere" TARDIS-DeLorean collision Woot shirt.

/I'm sorry...I'm so sorry.

I can sympathize. I would generally prefer better likenesses, but I ordered one because I think they're still recognizable to fans, thus providing adequate geek cred, poses a little bit of fun (which is which!), it's pretty cute, and can serve as a cool MC Escher tribute to your non-Who friends. Plus, it includes 11, which is nice.

I really should start checking woot when the new stuff gets posted. That way I can make the David Bowie and other past pop culture references that I don't care about.

Must be that polyjuice potion.

redyellowblu wrote:I'm joining the Who fans Woot group who boycott this shirt but wear their It Came Out of Nowhere weekly (or biweekly if it's not too dirty)

I absolutely agree that the likenesses are awful. It looks like they looked up pictures on the internet but never actually watched any of the older shows.

And the worst of it all is that Tom Baker looks like he's not wearing pants...

Pants are overrated. ;-)

Daleks don't need stairs. They just level the building floor by floor.

heh thanks never even knew about qwertee B^)

you can't wear this shirt near a river..

I like to think this would happen on February 29th.
Technically, that day isn't real. Since it doesn't exist, then gravity doesn't work on that day.
Right?

I was hoping to buy this shirt for a Song...
But I bet she already has one.

Tell that to Ja Rule.

Would still love to have a shirt with Daleks and Borgs squaring off face to face in a heated exchange arguing "Exterminate!!" vs. "Assimilate!!"

Escher is rolling over in his grave.

Strangely, this was the first thing I thought too.

"It must be a part of Hogwarts, that one is Harry Potter!"

kismatt wrote:It amuses me that one of the figures looks like Harry Potter...

which is amusing since that is the 10th doctor, ie David Tennant, ie Barty Crouch Jr. from Harry Potter....

Catrovalva was the first thing to come to my mind too.

Weird Al, anyone?

This is great ^^ I may say that when someone asks where I got it (Well, when a Whovian asks. Otherwise it would be silly).

And I like the shirt; I know people are annoyed at the likenesses, but I enjoy it. I also enjoy Escher so that's a plus :D

Patrick Troughton/#2 has the sonic screwdriver, of course, as he's the first actor who used it.

(This is the detail that made it very obvious to me that an actual Who fan designed this.)

My brother bought this for me, and he bought one for himself. It came today and it's epic. Yessss.

It's not a phone booth, its a Police Box. Phone booths are red.

Mine still hasn't arrived.
And the FedEx number isn't workng

Oh thanks for that info :D
