That star shirt is too freakin' cool, I have to get one when it goets to my HT :D

I went into Hot topic, only meaning to buy the Legend of Zelda shirt I wanted, but when I saw this I couldn't resist. Good thing I had that american express giftcard with me. :bloogrin: I love this shirt.

Oh boy, more Cheese, Bloo and Eduardo stuff. :( /sigh

Roomy said he was gonna email them and ask if there's any chance of OTHER character merchandise coming out. I haven't been in HT for quite awhile simply due to the fact that everything is all Bloo/Cheese and to a lesser extent Eduardo. I did pick up the other throw blanket but only because of Mac.

Wow, Eduardo is lucky to get a new necklace. :p

I was just at the local mall and Hot Topic is gone. :sadbendy: Now I have to go out to the big mall in Sacramento, which is really inconvenient. Crudnuts. :( I won't be able to check on new merch a fraction of as often now.

Today I saw something with Mac on it!! Cheese too. And it's a girls shirt.

It was a turqiouse-ish blue t-shirt with numerous scribbles of Mac and Cheese all around the shirt with the phrase "I love Mac and Cheese" written all over it. Very cute.

Aw, that sounds so cute. I want to see it.

I wish HT would put it online. They take forever with that stuff. >:(

You mean this one?

http://www.hottopic.com/hottopic/sto...=1199765010569

It came out a while ago, has been on the Hottopic website a while as well, just not listed under the Fosters stuff.

Wow, I have never seen that one. It's adorable. I love it.

The starry shirt and neon shirt I mentioned a couple pages back are now on the Hottopic website, as well as the blanket with Mac, Bloo, and Cheese, and a perfume called 'I Pooted' (not the body spray):

Now I'm curious as to what the "I Pooted" perfume smells like...:P

And, um...I kind of wish it was Bloo and Mac snuggling under the stars on the shirt, instead of Bloo and Cheese.

I'm hoping they come out with a bottle of perfume with Frankie on the label for Valentine's Day. Unlikely to happen, but one can always hope. :frankiesmile:

I smelled the "I Pooted" perfume and it's vanilla, really.

...8D

Lol on the blanket, Mac's pants are colored wrong. 8D

They also have a men's sized version of the Craig's Blog shirt online now:

I really like that starry one, it's cute. And also kind of "pretty", given I've aways loved starry skies (one of my favorite screen savers is "Star Field", lol). But no, I am boycotting Cheese. So I don't see myself getting it, unless they start focusing more on the other characters. :scaryberry:

OK, I'm back with an update on my quest for the Wilt shirt. Just in case anyone out there cares... <shrugs>

I hit a HT while I was in Anchorage at the start of January, and-- hot dang!-- they had the Wilt shirt. I dig through the stack and find the 2X. I go back into the dressing room to try it on and unfold it; when I see it unfolded (complete with "Wilt" and the number 1 on the back-- I didn't know that was there), I think, There's no way in [heck] this is a 2X. I decide to try my luck anyway, and holy crap. It was white, tight, rather see through and like I was trying to squeeze my 2X body into a large or medium shirt.

I, alas, had to pass on the shirt and content myself with a notebook with the whole bunch on the cover and a Bloo and Cheese key chain that I've yet to put on anything. Can't say I didn't try for my shirt, though.

Well its a 2X babydoll, not like, a "regular" 2X. I'm normally a L/1X (on top, and a 2X on the bottom), but I can't wear a 2X babydoll. That's why I alter the ones I just have to have.

And, I have to confess a moment of stupidity on my part. I had thought the HT in my local mall was gone. Well, its not. Now, either they had been repainting or something, because the facade had been all covered in tarps and stuff or...I was simply looking at another, empty store (there is such a tarped-up store near one end of the mall, I saw it today). I think I just saw the empty one and thought that was it. :P I mean, I did look to see if it had moved and didn't see it...oh well, I dunno. But the good news is they're still there.

The bad news is that they don't have anything new or exciting. I went ahead and picked up the Foster's hair elastics, as my hair is finally long enough to tie up again.

Hottopic.com now has a Cheese wristband;
http://www.hottopic.com/hottopic/sto...=1200251385271

A Berry necklace;
http://www.hottopic.com/hottopic/sto...=1200251385271

And a new Bloo keychain:
http://www.hottopic.com/hottopic/sto...=1200251385270

SOmething like that happened to me once. I lost my mall's Hot Topic and I was convinced they had left. But when I went back again they were there, just with a smaller entrance that is easily missed by those standing more than 15 feet away.

Sounds like HT went through a remodel or something country wide. Much the same thing happened at my mall. They moved to a different part of the mall, and their new entrance is very small for some reason. It's easy to miss. I thought they were gone until I looked at the directory and just realized they moved. Thankfully the inside of the store is just as big (if not bigger) as before. :bloosmirk:

Well, our HT did in fact move before Christmas, and then - again unless I just had a ditz moment - they remodeled...although they look exactly the same as they did before. :P I dunno. And if they were remodeling when it was tarped up, a small note saying they would re-open would have been nice. They had a note saying they had moved when they did that.

Hmm, my mall's HT moving took place last fall. Yeah, sounds like the store had a company wide revamp of some sort.

I was reminded of a funny thing that happened last week this morning, concerning the first blanket featuring Bloo and Cheese. Thought I'd share. :P

As we are well aware, the show's style is without black outlines. Same goes for their merchandise, including the blankets. It's also useful for you to know I like to sleep in the darkest room possible. I have blinds and thick green curtains up in my bedroom window. At night it's nearly pitch black in there, and in the morning, only enough light creeps in between the blinds and the wall for everything to be in gray scale (that is, not enough light to see colors, but I can see). Now, I have the blanket on my bed, and one morning last week, I woke up and noticed the creepiest thing. In my drowsy state, I thought something had actually happened to my blanket! But what could possibly make Cheese disappear entirely?? All I could see of Cheese was his eyes and grin. The yellow of his body and the light blue of the background are apparently very close in scale that without my seeing the actual colors, they blended right into each other. I could see Bloo fine, as his dark blue stood out from the light blue background. But Cheese had disappeared! All I saw was his floating face! Oh, and Bloo had a hand shaped "hole" in his side. It took me a second to realize that nothing was actually wrong, it was just a visual effect. I reached over and turned my lamp on and Voila! There was Cheese, perfectly fine. I cracked up laughing at how I thought something had happened to my blanket. *gasp* Someone stole Cheese right off my blanket!! :wiltshock: 8D

Feel free to try it if you've got the blanket. As long as it's just dark enough to see everything in gray scale. All you'll see is Cheese's floating eyes and teeth. It looks kinda creepy. :cheese:

Hottopic.com has added a new pair of shoelaces with Bloo and Cheese;
http://www.hottopic.com/hottopic/sto...=1201024188113

and a pair of gloves with Bloo on them:
http://www.hottopic.com/hottopic/sto...=1201024334685

Yay Cheese. :cheesegrin: ::)

I'm looking forward to HT's almost inevitable "I Pooted" Valentine's Day collection. :P

*sigh* Goody! :cheesegrin: ::) Everyone else does NOT matter. :P

I stopped by Hot Topic earlier today while I was at the mall- I think I saw some new items (well, they seemed new to me).

There was a Bloo themed fragrance (body spray, I believe) that smelled like blueberries and cream (can't remember the name; Eau de Kazoo would fit). I tried it; smelled like blueberry candy.:bloosmirk:

There was also a lavender wallet thing with Eduardo printed all over it; very cute and practical. :smed:

Has anyone else seen these items? I'd like to know if they're new releases, or if they've been out.

I think I saw the wallet a while ago, but not that spray. I need to get out to an HT soon, its been a while.

The spray has been out for awhile. I picked up a bottle of it on eBay; pic here:

http://www.fosters-home.com/forum/sh...3928#post53928

I have no idea about the rest of the stuff.

Oh...well then that's the one I have. It doesn't smell like blueberries as far as I'm concerned though.

Any chance this was the wallet?
http://www.hottopic.com/hottopic/sto...=1201406405738

Yes, yes it was.

Everyone else posted about Eau de Kazoo(I like my name better than the real one) and the wallet, so they aren't exactly new. Still, it's good to know about these sorts of things, and that's fine.

Sparky's right about the fragrance; It's strong and long-lasting. I put some on my wrist about four hours ago, and I'm still smelling it. But at least I smell like Bloo, as opposed to the other character who got a fragrance.:cheese: (No offense)

OMG, the stuff they have on that site is awesome!! Thanks!! :bloogrin:

Hottopic.com added a new Bloo Tank Top a week or so ago: 8-)

http://www.hottopic.com/hottopic/sto...=1202275223371

I like that one. Wish it had sleeves though. :P

I wish there was more stuff with Mac on it... Mac and Frankie. That would be adorable.

I do like the Bloo pin, though. 8-)

A new Cheese hat was put on the site today, along with a Bloo and Cheese zipper pull and a Cheese sticker.

Overkill much on the Bloo and Cheese merchandise? =P
