The Old One
The Beetle
The Beetle has built his identity around serving the strongest person in the room. He mistakes obedience for importance and takes pride in being trusted with the machinery. Loyalty, in his case, looks a lot like self-preservation.

Designer’s notes
The Beetle and the armour share the same visual language. A hard shell and compact mass make the emblem feel almost mechanical before the metalwork is added.
I treated it like a functional badge taken from a vehicle. The inner glow gives it status that the wearer has not entirely earned.
His complete devotion is faintly comic, though the totem still carries enough menace for the darker half of the collection.

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. -
How does the Fitted tee fit compared to the Relaxed?
The Fitted is a ladies' cut (Gildan 64000L): side-seamed with a tapered waist, narrower neckline, lighter 4.5 oz Softstyle ringspun cotton. That said, fit is yours to choose. Pick whichever shape suits your lifestyle; all are welcome here. -
Is the hoodie warm enough for winter?
Midweight 50/50 cotton/poly blend at 8.0 oz, plenty warm for autumn into winter as outerwear, or as a layer in deeper cold. Not a heavy fleece, so pair with a coat below freezing. -
Is the hoodie unisex?
Yes. Cut as a unisex pullover, sized by chest. If you're between sizes and want a slouchier fit, go up; for a snugger fit, go down. -
Is the mug dishwasher and microwave safe?
Both. The print is fired into the ceramic, so normal dishwasher cycles and microwave use won't fade it. Hand-washing is gentler if you want to keep it pristine for years. -
What's the capacity?
Two sizes: 11 oz / 325 ml, the standard cupboard mug, or 15 oz / 440 ml for a heroic measure of hot chocolate. Both are the same width, so the 15 oz is simply taller.
