My money's on coincidence - I can't see how the crew would have much appeal with a Japanese audience.

@taketrasar: Probably completely unrelated, but you better have bought it.

I mean, probably, yeah. I don't see how it couldn't be a discarded Giant Bomb design, really.

I think Bombey should just be a bomb with "BOMB" written on him instead.

The font and word placement make me think this is indeed a rip-off.

I would buy that!

That's pretty neat, but I doubt it's related.

I know it probably has nothing to do with the site but that just makes it seem even more fucking weird. Now it's just a shirt with a giant bomb on it and words letting you know that it is. Why Japan?

If a russian can rip off the entire site, and gradually grow it into its bizarro own thing, anything is possible. I can imagine some Japanese t-shirt bootlegger browsing the internet for ideas for a new hot shirt, coming across Giant Bomb and thinking "that's a greatu idearu" and doing a shady Giant Bomb rip off t-shirt.

That's how I like to imagine it going, anyway.

But also - 400 Yen? That's next to nothing, right? You should bulk buy them from that store, and start your own bootlegging business selling them to Giant Bomb fans internationally for a handsome profit. You'll make a fortune. Although I guess unless they sell them in sumo sizes, only small people will be able to get one.

You know a size medium there is probably a size small everywhere else. Japanese sizes don't correlate with oversea sizes. Trust me, I found out the hard way...

Due to some sort of production issue, I think the initial effort to make that shirt was cut off. No clue on the specifics...

still, that's 4 dollars give or take.

I've spent more than 4 dollars on something that forever lives in the closet.
