Star Wars stacks up as chubbies

Friday, August 8th, 2008

The Star Wars series has become such an epic sci-fi saga that we now know the colourful histories of all the much-loved characters. Following the events of a galaxy far, far away is one heck of a ride. Along the way, we’ve witnessed Obi-Wan Kenobi’s rise to greatness, Anakin Skywalker’s descent into the dark side, and had a good few chuckles with C-3PO too. And now what’s really cool is the new Star Wars Chubbies at urbanretro.co.uk are representing that evolution in a quirky cartoon style. Drawing on influences from Russian nesting dolls, the cute little Star Wars Chubbies stack inside each other, giving you three characters in one! So for instance, with the Darth Vader & Anakin Skywalker Doll, we’ve got the pod-racing wonder kid Anakin from episode I who then fits inside the angry episode III Anakin, who in turn slots under the heavy-breath anti-hero Darth Vader. This chubby perfectly plots his progression to evil overlord! Standing from 1.5 inches to 3.4 inches tall they are the perfect desktop distraction. All the classic characters are here as well, from Obi-Wan Kenobi, to Emperor Palpatine and General Grievous. Collectors crave this kind of thing, so check out all the Star Wars Chubbies at urbanretro.co.uk and retrace the footsteps of the sci-fi legend that is Star Wars!

Pristine new prints by Supremebeing

Wednesday, August 6th, 2008

Supremebeing are all about creating precise, bubble-graphic designs with a clean contemporary feel. And this ethos is clearly demonstrated in the six new T-shirts now available at urbanretro.co.uk. Their CMYK Toy series has been such a big hit that they’ve decided to give us more of what we love. Because as the old saying goes “if it ain’t broke don’t try to fix it!” This time up, we’ve got each curvy stencil shape toy C, M, Y and K, created in a multi-colour outline. It’s a clever reference to the fact that blending Cyan, Magenta, Yellow and Black makes an amazing array of different colours. On top of that, all four characters come together for the Toys Dub T-shirt, which epitomises the modern, minimalist style that Supremebeing are famous for. Get in with the CMYK family and view the entire collection at urbanretro.co.uk.

It’s a Family Guy affair

Saturday, August 2nd, 2008

Family Guy has got to be one of the funniest cartoon series ever. The hilarious happenings in Peter Griffin’s neighbourhood never fail to get us in stitches. So we just had to jump at the chance to bring Family Guy licensed T-shirts to urbanretro.co.uk. All the favourite characters from the famous animated American sitcom are here. And in a cool twist, they’ve all been placed in cross-culture situations. A humorous take on the Star Wars theme is particularly prevalent. Especially in the cheeky Force is Weak T-shirt, which features Stewie as Darth Vader and Herbert as Obi-Wan Kenobi in an innuendo-laden light sabre fight! Most of the cast are re-imagined as Star Wars characters too in the Blue Harvest design. On top of this we’ve got 4 T-shirts which focus on Stewie, the unprecedented star of the show. He gets dressed up in a number of different guises from gangster classics like Scarface and Reservoir Dogs to the smooth hip-hop style of Run DMC. If you fancy having a good laugh, check out all the Family Guy designs at urbanretro.co.uk.
