More surfing vibes with this T-800 who wouldn't look out of place striding into Fat Willy's. I'll be back… for some sex wax and sticky bumps.[Available from Qwertee.
Cuter than a forest full of Ewoks, The Mandalorian's enigmatic "Child" – Baby Yoda to most of us – here throws three adorable shapes in the centre of your chest.
4.
Blade Runner
The Tyrell Corporation's electric replicant owl peers beadily from above the company logo. For '90s grunge fans, this doubles handily as a White Zombie shirt. Get it on!
Perhaps the ultimate slogan for 2020: the classic mantra of The Hitch-Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy's paranoid android Marvin. It's the 2005 movie design, but we can live with it.
6.
Futurama
All aboard the Planet Express, travelling at 99% light speed. Sadly this shirt is not available in Professor Farnsworth's favoured shade of Electric Mucus. Oh my, no.
7.
Doctor Who
Fourteen Doctors in weenicon form adorn this Eaglemoss exclusive. Everyone's favourite should be in there somewhere - unless it's Peter Cushing, Richard Hurndall or Jo Martin.
8.
Picard
Crack open a bottle of La Barre's finest 2399 vintage and wear this shirt while you drink it. The bouquet may contain shy hints of Number One.
Erase the 2017 movie from your memory hard drive and return to Ghost in the Shell's anime and manga roots. This shirt finds the Major wired up for a tranquil moment.
There are many variations on the "I'm Mary Poppins, Y'all!" t-shirt theme out there, but none quite as disturbing as this one. Reveal your inner Yondu. Confuse people.
