Well, I'm not a person with business experience by any means, but, I'd try to sell what you've got already, if you have the inventory. How? Perhaps you can find someone that travels to a lot of conventions - they usually sell a variety of t-shirts - and either sell them to this person outright or (less nice) have them sold on a consignment basis. (Apologies if you've already tried this, I don't recall you mentioning it.)

Also, speaking from a general consumer point of view, I'd make the default view of the tshirt's graphic to be quite large. I'm always annoyed at seeing something that might be cool, might not, but I have to click on each and every design to enlarge it to a point where I can see it clearly. Most of your shirts on http://www.printmojo.com/bakafox/index.php are fine, but the "I love cosplay" and "Warning!" ones could use a larger version, if you can fiddle with that...maybe make them 'full front' like the "It Takes A Man..." shirt. I'm assuming here that people aren't amazingly stupid and can visualize the graphic on a shirt, but perhaps the reason why these stores usually show it on a shirt graphic is because that actually works better.
