Walmart carries alot of the t-shirts and the book bags in child and adult sizes.There are some for girls but not alot the t-shirts can go either way cause i have most the guy shirts another good place is 5 below that is where i get foxs stuff and sometimes ebay.
I've also seen a lot of stuff in JCPenny and Sears. Most of it was in the boys/young men departments, but I did see a couple of shirts in the girls section. There weren't nearly as many as in the mens, but they do show up from time to time. You might want to check Target too. I saw quite a few gamer shirts in there in both sections.

I did notice that the stuff in the girls sections is almost strictly Nintendo related. Lots of Mario and Yoshi. I've yet to see a single Sonic shirt. I guess the designers think girls don't like Sonic :?

I was trying to find some Princess Peach, Samus, or Zelda shirts for size 3T, but couldn't find jack online yesterday. I'll have to stop by Wal-Mart one of these days and see what I see.

I've yet to meet a single female Sonic fan other than my sister. Most girls, if they play games, are either Sims fans, cell phone gamers, or Nintendo fans.

We picked up most of the stuff at Wal*Mart except, I think, for the Mario hat which came from Target. The big stuffed Mario is actually a pillow with a compartment in it to put your pajamas in. My grandson's kindergarten class sometimes has pajama days when the kids can wear their pajamas to school. He got to wear his yesterday and didn't want to wear a jacket since it would cover up his Super Mario DS jammies.

As for girls and Sonic, my 7 year old granddaughter loves playing Sonic 2 with my grandson and I just got her the Sonic Collection game thing for the DS.

Good news my wife loves sonic and she put me on to Polterguy!
(I told her about this post and she made me reply)
We argued yesterday while I was browsing Retro Gamer,and she askes how I dont like Sonic?
I told her its too fast for me and I get dizzy,plus I grew up with Nintendo.

As for passing retro on,we are naming our 2nd daughter after a female character from Ys (my idea).
Will let you guys know in August!

I have considered writing into the companies making these shirts to produce more Sonic ones, and with other canon characters on them (KNUCKLES!), in ladies' sizes. And I even already whined about this on some other thread, it irks me that much. But even so, the only Sonic designs I've seen for boys don't particularly grab my interest. It's not fair that all the neat designs I see are reserved for Mario.

I'll wind up making my own eventually, I bet.

AND I'M HAVING A CONTEST!

If you can correctly guess the game that she's playing you win something. It won't be super duper exciting but, hey, free! I will let the winner choose whether that something is Nintendo, Sony, Sega, or Microsoft related!

I was wondering what the game was, but I didn't say anything. It doesn't look like Sonic, so I don't have much of a guess.
