Synch-Point Production Blog

We just ran out of the larger sized t-shirts (large & extra-large), so we sent an order to our t-shirt printer to get a bunch more printed.

So if you requested a large or extra large… please be patient.
We should get the t-shirts from our printer in a week or so.

The production @ synch-point.com email address is having trouble.
So I created an email address for those who want to contact us about the status of their FLCL Ultimate Edition t-shirts.

Please email flcltshirt @ bro-usa.com if you haven’t received your t-shirt.
Production staffer Yukiko will get back to you shortly.

Although reading the comments… those who send in the postcards one year ago should have received them. We’re not that backlogged, so email us with your name & address to check if the t-shirt was already sent out, postcard got lost, etc.

Short message to let you know that the FLCL t-shirt Powered is available for pre-order at dot-anime.us.

Available in Youth Size Medium, and Men’s sizes Small through 2XL.

Happy shopping!

We had a FLCL t-shirt design contest a while back.

One of the winners was the one called “Noir” (we called it Scarface during the planning phases).

We had selected another design from the entries.
And we called it Naotamsk.

It took a long time, but we finally got the design approved & we’re going to print soon.

So this is the standard version, in brown:

This brown version will be available in anime stores.

And the black one will be a dot-anime.us exclusive.

We’ll have both products available on dot-anime.us soon.

Well, it’s not October yet.
But we’re only a few days away, so we’ll just call it the October 2007 update.

1. We’re having serious issues w/ the production@synch-point.com email address.
So if you have any questions about the status of your t-shirt delivery, please email pr@bro-usa.com.
I’ll forward them to production assistant Krystal, who’ll get back to you.

2. T-shirt shipments
We are getting through them!
Although very slowly.

So you will get your t-shirts!
Just very slowly.

We’re getting a few production interns next week, so we should be shipping out a bunch of them starting next week.

So sorry for the delay.
Designer Chris suggested having a FLCL Ultimate Edition t-shirt sending party (we call anything “party” when we force our staff to come in on a weekend to work on a task one department is behind on), but we’ve been having other parties… like “warehouse cleaning party”… “warehouse sale party”… “Anime Jungle grand opening party.”

But like I said, we have a few production interns coming in.
So we should get the stack of postcards down soon enough.

We received the Naota & Haruko plush samples from Great Eastern the last week or so.

Naota came right before Anime Expo, so we ordered a bunch so we can sell them during the convention. Hopefully some of you were lucky enough to pick one up.

Haruko came right after Anime Expo, so we’ll be taking them to Otakon.

Designer Chris was reading a blog on the Wired when he noticed something very familiar.

It’s the FLCL 2003 t-shirt (very limited run of 500).

The guy playing w/ the Nokia N-Gage is wearing one.
Weird, where these t-shirts pop up.

I got an email from the folks at Level 5 Group/Kaching brand.
For those who don’t remember, they’re the people who manufactured the Canti 12″ PVC figures.

Anyhoo, they sent over the designs for the Canti designer series II.
ie. the re-paint versions.

So they have 6 new designers with 6 different designs.
And two of them have alternate colors, for a total of 8 designs.

They’re gonna be limited edition & kinda pricey at $100, but a definite collector’s item.

I sent the designs off to GAINAX to get them approved (FLCL director Tsurumaki-san loves these things), so once they’re approved, we’ll post images here.

Eck.
I’ve been meaning to announce the first winner of the FLCL t-shirt contest, but kept forgetting.

Anyhoo, the first winning design is Scarface Haruko.

Here is the original entry:

And here is the final design:

Due to legal issues (or something), the FLCL t-shirt has been named “noir.”

Look for it in Hot Topic stores in late January.
And anime stores in early February.
