    I actually checked the date to see if it was April 1st.

    I'd maybe buy the bucket hat?

    I think they are a decent effort, and if successful, they managed to blend two iconic, yet demographically different, brands.
    I remember when Mambo was first out in the late 80s, it was the trendy thing to wear to be "sociologically accepted" at high school... which didn't so much bother the geeky demographic that was into things like Transformers toys, computers and fantasy/scifi (because they didn't care about heeding peer-pressure-induced fads, or just knew that they wouldn't be accepted by the "cool crowd", "trend setters" anyway).
    I'm sure there was some who were into both, but generally speaking, at school it was the "Mambo" demographic that would look down on, or pick on the "Transformers" demographic.
    Which is why I'm curious to see how well this concept ends up going.

    I like the boardshorts and the tootin' dog shirt. I like to wear things on the subtler side of TF tshirts.

    Who's turn is it to drop this news on the international boards?

    There is less chance they are all familiar with the Mambo farting dog ..hehehe!

    I might consider the board shorts but I'd get sick of em really fast. The rest I'd say no, as Im not really a hipster
    my dress sense ranges from daggy to smart casual.

    ...yeah, this doesn't really appeal to me. I prefer Jay Jay's stuff over this. Meh.

    Maybe if they had a farting K-9.

    I've got waaaay more TF shirts than I need (about 70) so the shirts don't interest me. But I've only got 1 pair of TF shorts which I never wear for fear of wrecking them, so might pick up a pair of boardies if I find myself in a town with a Big W.
