Bionic Six was an American/Japanese animated series that debuted in 1987 alongside an ambitious toy line. Though the toys varied slightly from their on-screen counterparts, they stood out for their die-cast metal construction and translucent panels that revealed each character’s bionic enhancements. The show ran for two seasons from April 19 to November 12, 1987, producing 65 high-energy episodes. At its core was the Bennett family—a forward-thinking, multiracial blended household of biological, adopted, and foster children—united by teamwork and loyalty. Unknown to them, patriarch Jack Bennett was a covert bionic agent until a crashed alien spacecraft triggers an avalanche, burying the family in radioactive snow. After rescuing them, Jack turns to Professor Dr. Amadeus Sharp of Special Projects Labs, who equips the entire family with bionic implants. They awaken with superhuman abilities, get rad codenames, and join Jack as a team of secret agents—pure, unapologetic ’80s sci-fi adventure. This design is largely based on the toy line and features the entire family - Bionic-1, Mother-1, Sport-1, Rock-1, IQ , and Karate-1 - as well as F.L.U.F.F.I., the family's a gorilla-like robot, the Bionic Dirt Bike, and pretty much hidden in the back, the M.U.L.E.S. Van (Mobile Utility Energizing Station).
Like all our designs, this one is treated with our signature ‘relic-ing’ process which includes our own secret recipe of hand-painted chipping, cracking, fading, and just the right touch of yellowing to ensure that it looks the part of a true vintage imprint.** We lay these works of art down on premium Bella+Canvas 3001 Unisex Jersey Short Sleeve Tees, one of the softest, best-wearing t-shirts available today, via state of the art direct to garment (DTG) printing which allows us to create a vintage effect that simply can’t be accomplished with other printing methods.

Not sure what size is your best fit? We recommend taking one of your current t-shirts, laying it flat and measuring it. The measurements in the chart below are taken with the shirt laying on a flat surface. To get the length, measure from the high shoulder point down to the bottom of the shirt. To get the width, measure approximately 1-inch below the armhole, across the chest, from seam to seam. While our tees are all made using premium, pre-shrunk, ring-spun cotton, there can be some shrinkage depending on your personal wash and dry cycles. With that said, if you’re on the fence, we always suggest going up a size.
