Dino, please make more Harbinger pins available. I learned my lesson, not to hesitate when buying Valiant.
Thank you.

Got myself the bloodshot tee

PJKing just received his XO shirt and posted a pic on Valiant's FB page, it is miles away from what we saw on the website. It's like dark orange and looks like hell. The best thing about that shirt was that it was such a good representation of that cover, now...not.

I'm worried now, I wanted one that looks like it did on the website. If I knew this is what it was going to look like I would not have ordered it.

Pete is annoyed as will be everybody who ordered this shirt if it looks like that, I know I will be.

Damn. That's really disappointing to hear. Almost popped for that shirt, too; guess I'm kinda' glad I didn't now

.

Be that as it may, my BloodShot T (uhm, duh

) and my Valiant logo pocket T both look awesome, 'specially the BS shirt. I've gotta' say, I was definitely not a fan of the Shadowman #5 Grampa cover (hey, jus' personal pref', ya'll), but I'm totally diggin' on his version of Bloodshot on this shirt. It straight-up *SQUEE*in' rocks

! And the Valiant logo pocket T? Basic black with the big "V" on the back; what's not ta' like

?

Got my Valiant logo coffee mug, too

.

Actually, the only thing missin' was my friggin' BloodShot pin

I got mine today too.

It is orange. Different from the color shown online. I'll try to post a pic later.

Big Red · Post by **Big Red** » Fri May 24, 2013 5:37 pm

Here it is. I don't mind the orange but I would have prefered what was pictured online.

hawkeyeps · Post by **hawkeyeps** » Fri May 24, 2013 5:47 pm

Thanks for posting the picture.

I think everybody would prefer (and expect) what they saw online as it matched the cover, this does not.

Glad to hear the Bloodshirt is good, I'm getting one of those too.

bygranddesign · Post by **bygranddesign** » Fri May 24, 2013 5:50 pm

wow .. if I knew it was gonna be that dark shade of orange I would have gotten The Harbinger shirt or The Bloodshot shirt instead

Maybe I'll still get those anyway ... but now I want to see PICS of those before I order it.

Yeah, that is NOwhere near the almost Gold-looking orange-colored shirt pictured on the web store. That's actually just North of Halloween pumpkin orange. Blech

Wow, that is way off. For $23 I expect the shirt to be exactly like it's pictured on the website.

And if that's what it was to look like why not show that on the website?

This is not right, something has gone very wrong.

BugsySig · Post by **BugsySig** » Fri May 24, 2013 6:12 pm

I was worried when the description said "orange" instead of yellow or gold. Now I'm glad I hesitated. Still getting the Harbinger Lemire T and possibly the V pocket T.

I wonder if its more expensive to produce that color orange that's displayed on the website?

The one on the website is true to the original cover ... I know I wouldn't have gotten it if it was that dark orange color.

I'm glad that Bloodshot looks good ... Maybe someone who ordered the Harbinger can let us know if that looks true to the image when they get their order.

I can't imagine that someone at Valiant actually looked at the physical shirt while knowing what was on the website and would think "Oh yeah that's close enough, this won't be a problem. It's not like Valiant fans talk"

Ask, and you shall receive:

Yeah, I know it's "reversed", but I think you get the idea

I just ain't used ta' takin' selfies like some a' you jack-a-lopes

Now that looks awesome!

BloodShot · Post by **BloodShot** » Fri May 24, 2013 6:42 pm

Okay, okay; just so I don't confuse anybody by havin' "my" name spelled backerds:

'course, now it looks like the title is BLOODSHO

Yep, got mine today and not loving the orange, I want what I saw in the picture when I ordered, I didn't even read the description that said orange.

Bloodshot and Harbinger shirts look like the pictures

Packaging left something to be desired...
three shirts and a set of pins shoved into a priority flat rate envelope

You shouldn't have to read that you are being tricked, the shirt should look like what was solicited on the website.

End of story.

I guess I haven't seen that cover. It looks very Geoff Darrow ala Hard Boiled (with Frank Miller!) I like it.

Poor Valiant. Here they did this wonderful thing in setting up a merchandise line and website and now customers are disappointed with the X-O shirt. And ya can't blame them, for $23 the shirt should look like the ad. That's gotta frustrate Dino and the gang.

Glad I didn't order the XO shirt

Baramos · Post by **Baramos** » Fri May 24, 2013 10:10 pm

A question for any fellow fat/big members who ordered one:

Is the 2X actually a 2X or should I order up a size (probably a rhetorical question but anyway...)?

EDIT: As an example, a real 2X is like, a Fruit of the Loom 2X. Also is the cotton material thick or that clingy filmy silky stuff?

ANOTHER EDIT: Also yeah that is way darker for the X-O shirt than the pictures, which is a very light orange/almost golden color.
