Make that collar out of stiff-enough plastic, and it’ll make it a lot more difficult to smash the “head” with a couple logs.

OK, that’s the AT-ST, but that model never gets any fan-love.

  As per the film “Up”, it’s a “cone of shame”.

I guess it isn’t years late if it is timeless.

I’ve had a shirt with that for YEARS:

Is this design independently created, licensed, or stolen? The design credit on this is different from that on the shirt by Great Ape.

  Agree. Mark, Cory, Xeni, somebody get in front of this…
  
  I have the Go Ape shirt too and my first reaction was “Did BB steal this design?” If not, please be clear about it. If so, well, drop the product and issue apologies aplenty.

Aww… :(

But it is for it’s own good, helps it get better to fight those pesky rebels again.

It’s a nice idea (and T-shirt!) but a relatively obvious one – it’s extremely likely that two people could think of it independently, rather than one design being copied from the other.

What’s with the tape on the leg? (Which isn’t in the Go Ape version)
