Design Description
Captain Power and the Soldiers of the Future was a science-fiction action series that combined live-action performances with then-cutting-edge computer-generated animation. Running for 22 episodes from 1987 to 1988, the series was set on a devastated 22nd-century Earth following the Metal Wars, a catastrophic conflict that left humanity largely subjugated by intelligent machines. Captain Jonathan Power and his small band of surviving soldiers wage an underground resistance against the tyrannical Lord Dread and his Bio-Dreads, mechanical creatures created to hunt down human survivors and “digitize” them into virtual imprisonment. Despite its surprisingly dark, adult-oriented storylines, the series was heavily tied to a toy line. Special electronic vehicles and figures could interact with designated sequences during each episode, allowing kids to fire at targets on the television while the toys registered hits and enemy fire. It was an unusually ambitious marriage of television, computer animation, and interactive toys — and gave kids an extra reason to make sure they were in front of the TV every week.

Size Chart
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. ![]()
