Brand new Dark Crystal tees for all you epic adventurers!
We always listen to our fans at TruffleShuffle and one of the most asked for requests has always been for Dark Crystal T-Shirts, so we are very pleased to announce the arrival of our first exclusive and official, own brand Dark Crystal tees!
The Dark Crystal is a 1982 fantasy film directed by the legendary Jim Henson and Frank Oz. The storyline involved Jen, an elf like 'Gelfling' and his quest to restore balance to his fantasy world by returning a lost shard of the dark crystal back to the powerful but broken gem. The film had a whole host of memorable characters including the Skesis, who were an evil race of grotesque birdlike lizards and who used to scare a generation of children enough to hide behind the sofa! After work on the Dark Crystal had finished Henson and Oz's next project would turn out to be the film Labyrinth, one of TruffleShuffle's all time favourites!
This fab new Dark Crystal design focus on Kira and Jen, but also has appearances from other characters including Aughra the wild-haired seer, Urzah the mystical urRu and Fizzgig the loveable pet. The ladies Dark Crystal tee is available in a sport grey colour for £19.99 and the mens Dark Crystal tee is in a darker Charcoal colour, also for £19.99. It's the perfect chance to show your love for this classic film!

The Weekly Retro Movie Rundown 18!
Poseidon's Trident! It's been three weeks since my last confession, I mean Movie Rundown! First came the great flood and then I went on me holibobs for two weeks but you'll be glad to know all I did was laze about in my pants watching films ;-) You'll be less than thrilled to know that the movies I watched were the likes of âMega Shark V's Giant Octopusâ and âTwo Headed Shark Attack" both brilliantly terrible films you're sure to agree so I watched them twice (totally deserve an Oscar!)
Also I'm to believe that someone else took over my duties as "Captain Film Dude" (official title - I have a badge and everything) and probably suggested you watched âSpidermanâ and âTransformersâ for three weeks! That menacing doppelganger must be stopped.
Never the less I'm back so that must mean it's the weekend Hooray! for us. So like the blistering hot sun showering us with rays of golden retro joyfulness as we stand buried waist deep in sand on a beautiful tropical beach let us be your bucket and spade and build you a nostalgic movie masterpiece.
Happy retro weekend folks :-)
