Doctor Who Costume T-Shirts – Thank You!

Something unprecedented happened. I received a check – actually a cheque, since it was British – because some of you bought nifty things from Forbidden Planet via this site. Thank you!!!

Lots of you bought this:

Some of you bought these:

How are you enjoying them? Are they working out?

I’m dead jealous. They’re on my wish list as well. If, like me, you have a passion for Doctor Who T-shirts, please have a look at the T-Shirt-O-Philia page, where some of the top sources for the clever wearables can be found.

T-Shirt Mania Update #2

Not as much of an update in what T-shirts I’ve got. It’s the summer and my son and I are busy spending our money on Doing Things, not T-shirts. Still, some lovely shirts have now become available that are surely destined for my great big wish list.

T-Shirt Mania Update

Merry Christmas Eve!


RedBubble - The Girl Who Waited

RedBubble - The Girl Who Waited

I may have totally failed to post that I got this T-shirt in gold a few weeks ago:  Love it! I love to sew long sleeves into T-shirts for the layered look without the overheating. I happened to have a striped long-sleeved top in the two colors of Amelia’s hair in this illustration, so these sleeves have really worked well on this T-shirt. It’s a lovely combination.

In other news, everyone on the Internet seems to be so stoked for tomorrow. I have to be careful not to be. I don’t have a BBC America enabled location for the special, so I’ll have to wait for it to become available for download. That will probably be Boxing Day at the earliest.

Costume T-Shirt Update

Forbidden Planet have added two more T-shirts to their Doctor Costume T-Shirt Set. The only one missing now is 9th. That’s going to be a bit hard, I bet, given the color scheme.

2nd Doctor Costume T-Shirt

8th Doctor Costume T-Shirt

I can’t recommend the 8th Doctor shirt just yet though. As you may notice, the coat is really green. This isn’t right, unless it’s to do with the Big Finish audio dramas or something. Course I misremembered it as brown. I’ve just gone through the gallery for the TV movie and it seems to be variously charcoal, black, and some kind of deep evergreen. Here’s the greenest image I found:

Most of them look more like this:

 

So until this product is tweaked up, I can’t recommend it. Same goes for the 3rd Doctor’s Costume T-Shirt.  The color just seems off.

The others are splendid and I can’t wait to have one of each. See the rest of them here.

Shirts and Stuff

Redbubble has the most comprehensive and probably funniest collection of Doctor Who T-shirts possible. I want most of them. Am not a Redbubble affiliate. I don’t know if they have affiliates. It’ll take me a whole weekend to look at all these shirts. I only looked at the first 150 so far.

Must have:

Quite like:

This one’s not a Redbubble, but it is a must have. From Forbidden Planet, where I actually am an affiliate:

Speaking of affiliates, have finally gotten the Shopping page into some kind of order. I owe a huge thanks to Lorelle. Some of the javascripting that had previously worked just fine suddenly didn’t, but her elegant little fix fixed it.

Okay off to get groceries and then weed some more screencaps so I can post them soon.

P.S. …

Air!

Wow, I haven’t come up for air for some time.  Been downloading HD episodes like a fiend and gathering the samples for the experiments mentioned earlier.  But hey, my T-shirt arrived today!

It’s not currently available, but there’s a vote button to bring it back.

Update: It’s now available at RedBubble.

So, these HD episodes look fantastic! I cannot wait to get some of the blurrier episodes redone. For some of the (visually) darker episodes like The Almost People, there’s a tradeoff: there’s quite a lot of speckling in the dark areas, but I don’t think that’s as bad as the rampant blur in the earlier caps.

Many of these look like they’d improve in a resize. Sometimes taking down the size of an image packs the pixels a bit and makes them appear sharper, so if I capture really enormous and then resize to merely huge, a lot of speckle ought to come out.  However, the tool I use for batch processing doesn’t include batch resize.  I may have to just give in and buy an image editor. Paint Shop Pro used to be my big tool back in the day, but that day was so long ago it was version 7. I no longer have the install disc, and that version might not run on my netbook anyway.
