I Want to Believe

I Want to Believe design by My First Raygun
I Want to Believe design by My First Raygun

A lone robot stands beneath an impossible light, caught somewhere between evidence and hope. I Want to Believe turns the promise of first contact into a worn retro science-fiction poster.

Designer’s notes

I wanted this to feel like something pulled from the wall of an old roadside UFO museum. The saucer dominates the sky while the beam cuts a path through the forest, leaving the robot waiting at the centre of it all.

The restricted black, rust and cream palette gives the design the look of an aged screen print. Heavy grain and rough edges stop the image feeling too polished.

The scene never explains whether this is rescue or abduction. That uncertainty is where the design lives.

FAQ

Frequently asked

  • Are these officially licensed?
    No, nothing on MFRG is officially licensed. Every design is original artwork I make, inspired by the films, shows, games and pop culture I grew up loving. Fan art with my own twist. If you're after official merch, you'll find it elsewhere.
  • How long does shipping take?
    Each piece is printed to order. UK orders typically arrive within 5–7 working days; international times vary by country. See shipping for the full breakdown.
  • Can I return it if the size is wrong?

    Every piece is printed to order, so I'd really rather you nailed the size first time. The Fit & sizing charts above have both inches and cm and the full body-length figures. Give them a proper look. If you're between sizes or unsure which fit suits, drop me a line at hello@myfirstraygun.com with your usual size in another brand and I'll talk you through it before you order.

    Because everything is made to order, I can't take change-of-mind returns or swap a wrong size. Anything faulty, damaged or not what you ordered is on me, though: open a ticket within 30 days of delivery and I'll sort a replacement or refund. See the full returns policy.

  • Can you put a design on a different garment?
    Absolutely. Drop me a line at hello@myfirstraygun.com with what you're after and I'll see what's available. If I can, I absolutely will.
  • How does the Relaxed tee compare to the Fitted?
    The Relaxed is a unisex cut (Gildan 5000): boxier through the chest and waist, slightly longer in the body, heavier 5.3 oz cotton. Runs true to size. If you want a closer silhouette, size down, or try the Fitted tee, a ladies' cut (Gildan 64000L) with a tapered waist and softer hand.
  • Does the Relaxed tee shrink in the wash?
    Pre-shrunk cotton, so minimal further shrink (1–3% if washed hot). Wash cold and tumble dry low and it'll hold its shape for years.
