Metal Gear shirts at UNIQLO

Postby RetroMartin on Wed May 16, 2012 6:03 pm

Went into Uniqlo on Oxford Street on the way back from work yesterday and lookie what I picked up in there!

This bag was given to me at the till with the shirts in.

The card reads:-Metal Gear 25th Anniversary - The Metal Gear series of stealth-action vide games has steadily risen in popularity since its debut in 1987. The series has fans throughout the world and is now one of the industry's most respected titles among game developers. UNIQLO is proud to commemorate the game's 25th anniversary with a limited run of UT Metal Gear collaborative T-shirts.

That one and the last photo were part of the tags on the shirts.

The text in the bottom left reads "Solid Snake made it past Zanzibar's impressive steel wall and penetrated deep into its interior."

The shirts weren't bad at £14.95 a pop. They're 100% cotton and quite thick....very good quality for the price. They had about 10 or so different designs in there but the colour to image ratio of the other shirts wasn't my bag (or i'd have picked up the red MGS logo one and a mucky green Snake Eater one)

Also available on-line

I bought a nice peace-walker shirt from them for a fiver so the least popular of these may end up going for the same price. The Peace Walker ones came with a code that allowed me to wear the same shirt in-game which was pretty cool.
I wish I got The Che Guevara style one but they had sold out by then.

See the only other one I fancied there was the red one (but my missus doesn't like red much.)

I didn't really have that sort of money to go sinking back when the original PW ones came out sadly...

Yeah, it's a common offer. Uni Qlo have lots of nice shirts, currently have a bunch of One Piece shirts at my local store. Some of which have very fine graphics on them. Awesome.

Well the other two were also nicely coloured AND the missus doesn't mind so it's win-win. Besides I'm not the hugest fan of red myself (it doesn't suit me) so that's the other reason! Worry not, if I want something, she can bugger off! :p
