Welcome to TeeTurtle! Our mission is to create products that bring people together, promote self-expression, and foster genuine moments of delight. We began as a t-shirt company in 2012, when our founder, CEO, and head turtle, Ramy Badie, began selling his award-winning designs as adorable, funny, pop culture t-shirts. Today, TeeTurtle makes apparel, toys, and games, and features both in-house designs and licensed characters from Disney, Marvel, and Star Wars. We are also the original creator of the Reversible Octopus Plushies that have gone viral on TikTok! Ever heard of the game Unstable Unicorns? Well, that’s us too! It won the 2019 People’s Choice Award from the Toy of the Year Awards, and we are so proud and pleased with the joy it has brought to people.
We are a team of creators down to our core, and we let the values of curiosity, compassion, community, and integrity serve as our guiding principles. These values have helped us at every turn while collaborating with one another, pushing our creative limits, and building our brand. As an LGBTQ-owned company, we strive to be kind and inclusive to all of our customers. We also donate to companies whose causes we believe in and offer an interactive charity initiative for customers. After you place an order with TeeTurtle, we will donate $1 to a partner charity of your choice (with no additional charge to you). Current and previous partners include: the American Cancer Society, the Brain & Behavior Research Foundation, the Trevor Project, Team No Kid Hungry, and WildAid.
What began as a one-man operation in a tiny Baltimore apartment has now grown to a company with two corporate locations and over two million products sold worldwide. We now employ upwards of 100 creators, all of whom collaborate on our completely original toys, games, and t-shirts.
So, welcome, and we hope you’ll pull up a favorite rolly chair and stay for a while! Don’t forget to hit us up on social media, and learn more about our brands below. :D
If you’ve made it this far, you know who we are! We began as a small start-up creating t-shirt designs and have grown to over 10 different product lines with worldwide distribution. Our goal is to provide cute and nerdy products to our fun-loving community. Our in-house artists create products that help our fans express themselves, resulting in favorites like I’m Doing Side Quests and Seal of Approval. So whether your specialty is gaming, sarcasm, or animal puns, our t-shirts have you covered! (Get it? Covered? Cause t-shirts cover your body? Okay, we give up.) You can also get our designs on socks, enamel pins, and even underwear!
Marvel and Disney and Star Wars, oh my! Our Fandoms brand began in 2016 when we signed our first deal with Marvel to create and sell officially-licensed designs. We are unapologetically nerdy and create fan-based designs referential to the worlds, characters, and licenses that we contract. Some fan-favorite t-shirts include Today Has Been a Pretty Good Day, It's Over Anakin, and Inside Thoughts. We release new t-shirt designs every week and are steadily working to expand our roster of licenses to include more fan-favorites. You can also find us at major fan conventions all over the globe!
We invented the Original Reversible Octopus Plushie, and we haven’t stopped there! Our vast plushie collection now includes Axolotls, Cats, Foxes, and more. We are delighted to have accumulated over 50,000,000 views on TikTok, and honored to be a 2022 Toy of the Year Awards Finalist! Recent releases include the adorable hand-holding Plushmates, Big Reversible Plushies, and Plushie Charm Keychains. Now, you can also find our plushies in select retail locations, including CVS, Hot Topic, Claire’s, Barnes & Noble, Six Flags, Books-a-Million, and Ripley’s Believe It or Not Museums and Aquariums.
Unstable Games was born in 2017, after a wildly successful Kickstarter campaign funded our first game, Unstable Unicorns. Since then, we can’t stop making games and we couldn’t be happier! We release multiple new titles and expansion packs each year, all filled with tongue-in-cheek humor, chaotic characters, and puns around every corner. Some of our most popular games include Here to Slay, Happy Little Dinosaurs, and Tic Tac K.O. While TeeTurtle’s games can be brutal and vicious, we actually create them to bring people together. After all, the strongest friendships begin with good old-fashioned power struggles during game night!
Somewhere on a sandy beach, a clutch of turtle eggs hatched and TeeTurtle was born! This little guy was our original logo!
We moved into our first tiny office! There were t-shirts EVERYWHERE.
We introduced our first plushie, a red panda, and were quickly overwhelmed by its cuteness!
We released our first pair of socks, and fan favorite t-shirt Stabby the Unicorn made his debut!

Disney t-shirts, Reversible Plushies & enamel pins arrived! We also launched Unstable Unicorns on Kickstarter—33,000 incredible fans backed the game!
We opened our Denver office and started selling our products via Amazon and wholesale!
UnstableGames.com was born and Unstable Unicorns won the Toy of the Year People's Choice Award!
We launched the Here to Slay Kickstarter and our Reversible Plushies went viral on TikTok! We also released Unstable Unicorns vinyl figures, and Happy Little Dinosaurs made its big debut!
We were the #1 Toy on Amazon for most of 2021! We released new toys including the Reversible Jack-O-Lantern Spider Plushie, Big Reversible Octopus Plushie, and Plushmates! Two new games arrived: Tic Tac K.O. and Wrong Party!
We are now a team of over 100 turtles! Our Reversible Plushies are nominated for Toy of the Year and we are releasing a new Kickstarter project in March! Plushie charm keychains have just launched and more toys are on the way. We have also introduced our post-checkout donation initiative that we are very proud of. More on that below!
An important part of TeeTurtle’s company culture is giving back when we can, to organizations that we believe in. After you place an order with TeeTurtle, you will have the opportunity to donate $1 to a partner charity of your choice (with no additional charge to you). Current and previous partners include: the American Cancer Society, the Brain & Behavior Research Foundation, the National Women's Law Center, the Trevor Project, and Team No Kid Hungry.
In addition to funding cutting-edge research, the American Cancer Society provides 24/7 support for cancer patients, promotes healthy lifestyles, increases treatment access, and fights for crucial policy changes.
The Brain & Behavior Research Foundation funds research in psychiatry and neuroscience to develop new treatments for brain and behavior disorders, including anxiety, autism, ADHD, PTSD, OCD, schizophrenia, and depression.
Since the coronavirus pandemic, up to 1 in 6 kids in the US could face hunger. No Kid Hungry is a nonprofit that partners with local organizations to eliminate childhood hunger in America.
The Trevor Project provides intervention and suicide prevention services to young members of the LGBTQ community. They offer 24/7 counseling and support via chat, call, and text, and also have an informational resource center where anyone can learn about mental health, sexual orientation, gender identity, and more!
For the past 50 years, The National Women’s Law Center has been working with policy, courts, and the public to end sexism and discrimination, especially against marginalized women of color and members of the LGBTQ+ community. The Center is currently working to increase access to healthcare (including safe and affordable abortions) and child care, as well as end the wage gap.
