Studio Gojira tee
[I want this!] This design blends Godzila into Studio Ghibli and scores extra points for using the original Japanese name for the Kaiju. The good news is that the t-shirt from Teepublic is currently on sale with 30% off and available in a range of colours. There’s a choice of tee styles as well.

Pimp your own board games!
