wilt gear? iv only seen one thing that even HAD mac on it. they need a wilt and mac shirt.

Bleh, look at the position Frankie fans are in; I don't think HT even knows she exists. The store is useless to me. :frankiemad:

Yeah that's why I edited my post awhile back. ;)

I've never seen a shirt with Frankie on it yet(I think she was in 1 group shirt). :(

Mac and Frankie have appeared two or three times in group tees, but as far as I know they've yet to be centre of Hot Topic's attention. I do find it somewhat surprising that, Cheese's immense popularity aside, there's been considerably more merchandise focussing upon Bloo's relationship with Cheese than there has his relationship with Mac (I mean, given that Mac and Bloo's friendship is kinda at the very core of the show). I can only assume that they have far greater interest in marketing stuff featuring the imaginary friends than in anything focussing particularly strongly upon their human co-stars, no matter how critical their role within the show itself...hence why Mac and Frankie have been given the cold shoulder thus far.

Initially, Bloo, Cheese and Eduardo pretty much ran the Hot Topic show, although Wilt, Coco and even Bendy and Berry appear to have been slowly making their way in in recent months. I picked up the Wilt t-shirt during my visit to Seattle in the summer, and I know there's also been a Wilt wristband since.

No Frankie merchandise = no HT purchases by me. :frankiemad:

That Bloo body mist I bought doesn't count.

TOO MANY BUTTONS
 

I thought my new "nerd" t-shirt was an appropriate background for displaying my current button and keycap collection. Um, I spent $30 just tonight buying a bunch of these... :-[ Enjoy, and let me know if I am missing anything besides the round Coco pin, which I never could find. Sorry for the glare, they are very shiny!

Click me

Yeah, I saw some of these online. Very impressive collection. :smed:

When did that Goo pin come out? ;___; I waaant!

Interesting to see the emergence of a Goo badge. As far as I know, she's the first human character to have received that honour.

Oh, and awesome collection there, Sparky. That Coco pin appears to be quite the elusive little bugger, doesn?t it? I searched high and low down the badge aisles whilst in Seattle and couldn?t find it. Oh well, I got the Coco shirt and key chain, so I can?t complain. And besides, my favourite badge in the Foster's series is easily the one of Eduardo snuggling his little pink bunny, which I did find. :smed:

I leave it to y'all to guess my thoughts on the matter. :frankiemad:

GOO PIN! GOO PIN! DO WANT!!!

BabyCharmander informed me of Hot Topic having a new Wilt t-shirt in stock, and some other stuff, like a Bloo plush, so I immediately ran off to see what I could get my grubby hands on!

I didn't find the Wilt shirt, but I did find a ski cap that is basically Bloo (it reverses to Cheese), some gloves with Bloo on them...

And a Bloo plushie =D!!!! Maybe my dream of a soft Foster's blanket will come true =)!!

Pictures can be seen here!

The Bloo to the far left is the one from Hot Topic, and next to him also on the left is the Bloo hat...

And the gloves apparently are not visible, but they're all black with Bloo on them and he's wearing sunglasses =P

Thank you. :) They did have the Bloo gloves when I bought all those buttons on Saturday...I forgot to mention it. :P

Oh my, Oh! A Bloo plushie? Gloves? I must cart myself to the mall once again.
Still have plans on getting the "Smack'N'Yack Bloo", so that's one plushie I am hoping on owning, but now another one. Without me having to pay shipping and handling, I'm on it! :bloosmirk:

I checked their website, and they don't have any new Wilt merchandise on there, unless it's the new pastel group t.

pitbulllady

You mean this badboy right here?:

http://www.hottopic.com/hottopic/sto...=1194364982723

I want a Foster's blanket with all the characters, or just one really tall one in particular, lol. One that's like my hoodie would be nice.

pitbulllady

Well...One more specifically with all the characters, or just maybe Wilt =P But of course if I see that I will probably buy it, since Bloo is my second favorite, I just want to squeeze him XP

But I'd rather have the whole cast =P But it's soooooo clooooooose D:

@Pitbullady, BC said she saw a new Wilt shirt that was of him just standing there, and she couldn't find it on their website, and I couldn't find it at my particular Hot Topic, but maybe I didn't look hard enough? And they were still unloading a ton of stuff, since the Bloo plush I snagged was still off in a box, and the guy saw me buying my Bloo hat and was all "OH, wanna see something awesome =D?"

So yea, I'll check back this weekend after my holiday meeting at work =)

I could've been wrong about the t-shirt. XD; When I went to the mall the other day the weather was pretty bad, and my little sister has a fear of bad weather so she was rushing us through the shops so I never really got a good look at it. Even so, I don't think it was the one that was on the website. (And there was only one in stock... I happened to find it under a pile of Cheese shirts. Oo)

I wanted to buy it right then but it was $20 and I didn't want to spend $20 for a t-shirt right when we were starting to get snow. >>;

I'll take your snow =)

I went to Hot Topic and just got back, and picked up the blanket. It is awesome <3

The guy there said to expect a TON of more Foster's items, and he also said if you see something you want, buy it now, because they're not going to re-release anything again like they did last year apparently.

He also said he was at Hot Topic's headquarters about a week back, and he said the wall of Foster's items that have not been released was biogger then the whole store I was in =D!!

So yea, new stuff soon, and he also said Foster's will not be going away for a very long time =D

Okay see, the problem with all the cool stuff coming out now is, I realise they do that so people can buy it as Christmas gifts for other people...but I want to buy it for myself. But I need my money to buy Christmas presents for other people, which makes it hard for me to afford to buy anything for me. :P Dangit.

Same D:

I have that same problem, and it annoys me so much, but I think this year I'm only going to really go all out on buying both my parents a nice present, my brother and my oldest sister and her husband, so hopefully that will leave me with some cash to at least get myself a nice treat...

Or several treats :]

Well, my birthday is on the 25th of this month, so if anyone wants to get me a Hot Topic gift card...lol. 8D

They rarely re-release anything, as far as I know. The blanket looks impressive. :)

That's kind of what I thought, but they re-released some of the bags (the one with Bloo on it, the one with Ed, etc) and I forgot some of the other things he mentioned XD

And the blanket is awesome, it's so soft I love it.

I'm also impressed that he said the wall of Foster's stuff at the headquarters is all new and bigger then the store XP I am so excited :3

My wallet however is already crying =)

Went in today due to the whole Wilt shirt thing. ;)

I did end up buying the Bloo/Cheese blanket and then went with Adam on his break. He said he was going to email the guys and see if there are any plans on OTHER character merchandise(Frankie, Mac, Madame Foster, Herriman, ect). I hope we get some good results. :(

Yeah, like I said earlier I was told November/December is supposed to be a HUGE Foster's bananza. I know I've filled up a whole Hot Topic punch card in only 3 times going in there. :-[ The blanket gave me the last 2 stamps I needed.

I hope they'll be getting some Frankie-oriented stuff with the new merchandise. It's way overdue. :frankiemad:

Sounds like some wall if they're releasing so much new stuff! I can't wait to see it all!

Just got word from my sister, who was at the mall today to buy a dress for her school's S&B banquette, that the Hot Topic in our trusty Alderwood Mall has the Bloo plushie! Ooooh, I want it so bad, but by the sound of things, I worry that there won't be any more there when I'm able to stop by (next week, probably). She said it was only like 6 or 7 inches tall, I'd prefer a bigger one, but any Bloo plushie is cute and lovable, if you ask me. And a blanket now?? I must stop by soon. VERY soon!

There's a larger Bloo plushie available on eBay. I have one; he's very cuddly. :bloogrin:

Congratulations on your 500th post, by the way. :)

Actually the Bloo plushie they have at Hot Topic (both Hot Topics by my house have them) are quite big, probably over 10 inches, in fact the one Cassini90125 link to looks just like the one at Hot Topic, but a bit darker in color.

Unless she saw a different plushie, when I went to get my blanket at Hot Topic today they had several plushies out, and they were all the same one, and all around 10+ inches tall, and pretty wide too.

Ok, ya know what? EBay is evil. It's too tempting. And PayPal makes it too easy. And there are too many amazing things available. I haven't done a Foster's search there in a while, just now did, found an identical Bloo plushie/pillow NWT that had just been posted with a BIN option of $28, so I jumped. A little bit of an early Christmas present to myself. :clap:

I also bid on a Smack'N'Yack Bloo, and will hopefully win it for cheaper than either CN or Amazon offer. Yay!

EBay is evil, I tell you, EVIL!! 8D

Oh look, I'm a Foster's Legend now. Thanks for the congrats! :)

Edit: In response to Nem, ooh, yes, 10+ inches does sound better. I'm confused at to what my sis told me now, though. It's very possible she guessed the dimensions wrong. Or she saw something that she thought was a plushie but wasn't, and didn't look at it too closely. She was in somewhat a hurry. I'll take your word over hers. 8D

Haha, congrats on being a legend =P

Also, this is a size comparison between my 14 inch wide laptop and my Bloo plushie that I got from Hot Topic.

http://img251.imageshack.us/img251/85/sizetm8.jpg

Bloo plushie is $16.99, so cheaper then ebay =)

Sorry for the lowish quality, I forgot to turn the flash on XD

You think eBay's bad for Foster's stuff? Be glad you're not a Sailor Moon fan. Sailor Scout goodies are wiping me out. I'm loving it, but I'm switching to a cheaper brand of everything to pay for it. :cheesegrin: 8D

Hmmm...
 

I think I just got jibbed, lol! The one I just BINed is exactly the same as you have, Nem, the tags are in the same places and everything. And now that I look at them, the one you have has a bigger face than the one Cass has, so I don't think they're identical. Ah well, I don't mind so much, I hope the seller does something useful with my money. I still look forward to it. Does it have microbeads inside?

Yes, the one I have has microbeads =D Also, the one Cass linked to is the same version as the other one I have, it has a bit of a smaller face, and is like a tiny bit taller and not quite as wide, and also a different shade of blue, kind of a bit darker and stuff :]

I got that one off of ebay, I heard it came with a DVD or something or was for sale on Cartoon Network's site for a period of time, but I'm not sure D:

Here's a side by side comparison between the two =)

http://img251.imageshack.us/img251/5...parisonjz3.png

The one on the left is the one I bought from Hot Topic, and the one on the right is the one I got from ebay =)

Hope that helps, and so sorry to steer off topic XD

I wouldn't think we're really off topic as we're discussing the plush Bloo at HT. ;)

They do look very similar, thanks so much for the pics! :) I like the glossy sheen the HT Bloo has, he's pretty. Still a little miffed at spending almost twice as much, but whatever, I won't let it get me down. I'll finally have a Bloo plushie that I've been wanting for like for-EVER! Yay! 8D

You could always be like me and buy one of each, though I am debating on selling one off eventually...but then again they're both sooo cute XD!

The version you bought is softer though, and more squishy XD

I want the ski cap so badly!

XD it's really cute, I should totally wear it when I go snowboarding :3

Also, Bloo plushie is up on the website =)
