monkey island merchandise

peepwood · 04-08-2003, 02:31 PM

does anyone know where i can buy any action figures, models, posters or t-shirts or anything MI?

***MrManager*** · 04-08-2003, 03:09 PM

Your best bet would probably be eBay though as far as I know t-shirts and sweaters are pretty much the only merchendise you will find.

MI action figures... Brilliant!

Al-back from the BigWhoop · 04-10-2003, 11:08 AM

some time ago niko posted some pictures of gb and murray action figures, MI and GF costumes, etc.
not sure if they were fake, but they looked nice...

pHILBRUSH · 04-20-2003, 09:28 AM

Hey, Al, have you got any pictures?

Gabez · 04-20-2003, 07:23 PM

I pressume you're talking about this. Pretty cool, yes, but not comercial unfortunately.

Anyway, posters and T-shirts are pretty easy to make, so why not try it yourself?

Hi everybody! My name is Alex. I'm an spanish graphic designer with a little online t-shirt shop (www.donrobot.spreadshirt.com).

I found this thread and I'm glad to see that there are some people looking for Monkey Island t-shirts. I assume that this thread is from 2003 (wow! 6 years ago!) and maybe only a few people will read it.

Anyway, my point is that I have a bunch of Monkey Island t-shirts in my shop. Actually I'm finishing some Monkey Island related designs, but you can check the first one available al the moment.

Monkey Island t-shirts

I hope you like it!

If you want to share your ideas for MI t-shirts, it would be great. I'm opened to any suggestions.

PS.: For your consideration. I also have Day of the Tentacle t-shirts on my shop.

urluckyday · 05-27-2009, 11:23 PM

While I normally don't like when people dig up extremely old threads...those shirts are great!

***Jeff*** · 05-28-2009, 12:00 AM

Awesome! For a while I was looking for other LucasArts tees after getting my Grim shirt and could not find any anywhere, thanks for sharing!

Goldblum · 05-28-2009, 12:35 PM

They were supposed to print a DotT shirt a while back but they never did, I asked if it would be printed and they said "within a month" and that was probably 6 months ago.

Looks like now I don't need it from them!

I am torn between this shirt in black or green, what do you guys think?

Ray Jones · 05-28-2009, 03:19 PM

hawt men like you moel have to wear red this is an undeniable universal law ;*

Apparently they want me to pay for the Grim shirt with monopoly money. Thanks for the link.

Don Robot · 05-28-2009, 07:50 PM

Hi again guys! Thanks for all your positive comments about my t-shirts! I really appreciate it.

Gos: Sorry, there's no "Full Throttle" t-shirts on my shop (at the moment), but now I'll think seriously about it. Thanks for your suggestion.

This afternoon I was finishing one of the next Monkey Island designs. Maybe the next week it could be available. I think you'll like it. I want it to be pretty cool, that's why I take my time to do it.

And now I want to ask a question to all of you... As I tell you on the post I wrote yesterday, I'm from Spain (sorry for my english) and I played the MI games in a perfect spanish. That's why I ask you... What EXACTLY says the Swordmaster treasure t-shirt?

Google can't help me because there are a lot of different variations depending the one who wrote it:

-"I found the Treasure of MeleeTM Island and all I got was this stupid T-shirt!"
-"I found the lost treasure of Melee Island, and all I got was this lousy t-shirt."
-"I found the legendary treasure of Melee Island, and all I got was this lousy t-shirt."
...
I could go on, but you get the picture.

I have this Swordmaster t-shirt on my spanish/european shop, but now I want to translate it for the american shop. In order to be accurate as I can, I need your help to solve this mistery.

Well... Sorry for this long post and thanks again for all your comments!

gos · 05-28-2009, 11:29 PM

it's "I found the Treasure of MeleeTM Island and all I got was this stupid T-shirt"

and thank you too.

but could you please give us some olive?

Don Robot · 05-29-2009, 10:21 AM

Thanks gos! Now I can make the Swordmaster t-shirt in english! At last!

I think I'll do a couple of versions, one with the original in-game font from MI1&2 (like this one) and another one with that font I used on this "Yo soy cola, tu pegamento" t-shirt (it's "I'm rubber, you're glue" in english).

Which font do you guys prefer?

Oh, I almost forgot... Here you have gos...

gos · 05-29-2009, 12:54 PM

the font of "i am rubber you are glue" is better

aw thanks bro <3

I got the black one though.

Don Robot · 06-02-2009, 03:03 PM

Hi guys! To celebrate the Monkey Island remake and return, I bring you those promised t-shirts...

I found the Treasure of Mêlée Island and all I got was this stupid T-shirt t-shirt.

Hope you like it!

Maybe this night I'll bring you another Monkey Island t-shirt to continue celebrating the resurrection of the MI saga.

Don Robot · 06-02-2009, 05:50 PM

Well, here again to show you the last (by the moment) Monkey Island t-shirt.

This new design it's the Grog recipe. Some t-shirts have the Grog logo on the front and the recipe on the back... Others only have the recipe on the front. I hope you like them both!

Isak · 06-03-2009, 06:38 AM

Lucasarts are gonna sell some official merch:

http://store.lucasarts.com/catalog/c...ory_id=1301488

Although I like Don Robot's shirts more!

Fealiks · 06-03-2009, 02:15 PM

Yeah, Don Robot's shirts are way better. I never buy shirts online, but I'm tempted, they are great

good work.

Don Robot · 06-03-2009, 02:25 PM

Thanks Isak and Fealiks!! My t-shirts are not "so official", but are "fan to fan" designs

All your positive comments encourage me to keep on designing more Monkey Island related t-shirts.

I really appreciate your support.

***Jeff*** · 06-04-2009, 01:30 AM

I got a t-shirt from LucasArts at E3 with the same quote... "I found the treasure of Melee Island...and all I got was this stupid t-shirt."

Your new designs look great Don!

Don Robot · 06-04-2009, 09:46 AM

Thanks Jeff! So you were in E3? Great! I wish I lived in California to enjoy those events (Comic-Con too)! I was there (in California) last year and I'm dying to come back again.

By the way... Did they have this Don't F*** With LeChuck t-shirt in E3?

Yes... One more Don Robot t-shirt... again. Sorry, I can't stop!

Fealiks · 06-04-2009, 02:07 PM

haha that's amazing!

My DOTT shirt arrived today, looks awesome, definitely recommended!

edit: I happened to just upload this so thought I'd share, here's a pic of my MI shirt from E3: http://i43.tinypic.com/2mnitqg.jpg

Fealiks · 06-06-2009, 07:27 AM

Get an iron, you smelly hippie.

Don Robot · 06-09-2009, 05:37 PM

Hooray for Jeff!! Thanks for buying on my shop. You are great!

We want a photo of THAT Day of the Tentacle t-shirt to spread the tentaclemania all over the world!

Don Robot t-shirts are so tough that doesn't need to be ironed!

PS.: I'm still thinking in new Monkey Island t-shirts...

I haven't worn it yet, it came compressed in the shape of a root beer bottle when I got it.

Here's my DOTT shirt:

Like it a lot!

Don Robot · 06-09-2009, 06:21 PM

My english is not so good to REALLY thank you for this photo!

Thanks a lot, Jeff!

That t-shirt fits you like a glove.

I mean it's cool if you don't want to... like, whatever... I mean.. I do want you to, don't get me wrong, it's just... I didn't mean... aw shucks

Also, I'll be getting the purple DOTT one at some point, may or may not post pictures.

gos · 06-09-2009, 07:28 PM

its too short don't you think so?

Don Robot · 12-16-2009, 11:23 AM

Hi again people! Long time no see! I'm still thinking about MI related t-shirts... This is the new one with one of the best quotes of the MI saga.

I brought to you these brand new Three-headed monkey t-shirts (I uploaded it a few minutes ago, you are the first ones to see them). I hope you like them, guys!

I wish you a monkey christmas!

draedan · 03-14-2010, 07:15 AM

Hey Don, thanks a lot for your awesome designs, I'm going to order a few today, also you might consider designing shirts for other lucas games too such as fate of atlantis !

raulranma · 05-25-2012, 03:14 PM

Don, would you create a shirt with the "bone" song? Or maybe with the hungover cure recipe? I found your shirts awesome, looking to buy some
