It's filled with He-Man, Transformers, and GI JOE shirts and lots of superhero shirts which of course include the classics like Superman Shirts and Spiderman shirts. To this day my t-shirt wardrobe is not much different from when I was a kid. I launched in 1999 because I would wear my favorite 80s cartoons on tees and people would ask me where I got them.
