Hot Topic has some new Foster's stuff, icluding a new Eduardo shirt and two baby onesies (or however you spell it:P ) Here's the links:

Ohhh! The baby ones are really cute! I have a cuzzie who's having a baby soon, perhaps one would make a nice gift?

The onesies *are* cute. And I know the Eduardo fans will forgive me when I say I wish they'd do a shirt with someone else on it who hasn't had a turn on a shirt yet...

I don't think I like the caption on the back of the Ed shirt. "Eduardo es un bad boy"? Hm.

Well, he says it in the episode "Busted" after knocking Frankie out, so....

And I love the onesies! Too bad I dont want kids.

The onsies ARE cute!

But I don't know... Onesies excluded, I'm not sure whether to be happy about all the new HT shirts or not. While I'm really happy to see Foster's stuff, HT has 2 problems that I can see: 1) They seriously over-market things and burn people out on whatever it is VERY QUICKLY and 2) their shirts sometimes portray characters differenlty than what they are in the show because the quotes are somewhat misleading, such as the "Eduardo es un bad boy" one. While he DID say that, to me, it doesn't portray his character correctly to those who have never seen the show.

IDK... that's just me.

I agree with that. I'm currently trying to work out what uncharacteristic Wilt quote could be taken out of context. Of course, I'm so desperate for a Wilt shirt that I'd probably buy one no matter what it said...well, a girl can dream. :(

I strongly agree with HT over marketing things, but I don't mind much. I had about six heart attacks in a row when I saw an Eduardo shirt in the store. XD They can over market all they want as long as I can wear Eddie stuff. ^__^

Given that most of the shoppers I see in every Hot Topic I've ever been in, or walked past, are girls in their teens and early twenties, HT is REALLY missing out on a cash bonanza by not carrying any Wilt merchandise! That scene from "T-Rexatron, Alien Wolf III: A Prequel In Time", with Wilt running through the flames, against a black background, with that line, "Where chaos reigns like cats and dogs in a hailstorm of PASSION" would be perfect for HT!

WOW! If they made that shirt for men too, I would so totally buy one...two, three or even seven of them.

Agreed. They also have patches, stickers and buttons, too.

I know what I'm getting my sister-in-law when my third nephew enters the world in May!

EDIT: Now, they also have rubber lapel pins of Bloo and Cheese (together) and Eduardo as well.

Oh, finally! I knew they'd have those eventually.

At least some of these are on the HT site now. I'm going to HT tomorrow to see what I can get my hands on. :bendy:

OMG COCO PIN!

This is what I scored today

They were out of the Eduardo and Coco buttons. :( But it's nice to know that they moved so well.

Wow, go Ed 'n Coco!

As someone told me in the thread of the announcement that I was going to have a nephew for the third time, "He'll really be pimpin' in that Eduardo onesie."

And now, as stated in an edit on Page One, there's now lapel pins (with a rubberized front) of Bloo and Cheese in a set and Eduardo.

Here's the stuff I snagged at HT today.

On the left is a set of rubber "key-toppers", followed by the Ed button (they still don't have the Coco ones), the rubber Ed pin, and the rubber Bloo and Cheese pins. I couldn't afford to buy anything else, but they also had a guitar-pick Bloo-face necklace, a plastic Bloo-face bracelet, a cel phone charm thingie, and...one more charm-type thingie. All those things looked pretty chintzy, but if I could have afforded it I would have gotten them anyways. They also had a new black babydoll tee, with a couple pics of Cheese freaking out on it and like, "AAAAAUUUGHHH!!" or something in the background. Other than the one Coco pin which they never have, it seems that HT's entire Foster's line revolves around Bloo, Cheese, and Ed. Anyways.

They also had a huge window decal on their front door of Bloo whining "Come Ooooooooooooooooooooonnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn!" which was awesome. I took a pic of it with my camera phone and emailed it to myself but sometimes it takes a while for those emails to show up, so I'll post it later. I suppose I ought to have asked what my chances were of getting my hands on it when they take it down...Oh well.

I saw them on the website. Those look really awesome. :)

Yup, got the Eduardo onsie today (6/1) as well as the Bloo and Cheese pin set. Matthew's going to love it, and when my sister-in-law saw it, she fell in love with it. My brother's response? He loved it! As for the Blooregard and Cheese pins, they're on the right-hand side of my Authentic (2006) MLB Phillies batting practice cap.

That's gorgeous. Nice to see them deviating a little from their Bloo-Cheese-Eduardo rutt. ;)

(Oh, but most sizes appear to have sold out already. Hopefully they'll be restocking sometime soon).

Picked up a few new buttons at HT today, along with this folder/notebook set:

Fronts

Backs

There's also a Cheese barrel pen, Bloo and Cheese filler paper, and other back-to-school (if you have to go back) stuff as well.

They now have an Eduardo bag, its the same style as the Bloo bag (no matching wallet yet but perhaps that's coming). I took a photo with my camera phone and I'll post it later if I get time.

I'm personally amused by the vast amount of Bloo/Cheese/Bloo&Cheese things they have on there. XD (WHERE IS THE WILT LOVE?!?! WHERE?!?!?!1/1)

I'm looking forward to the day where they actually have a shirt with the main Foster's gang having fun together, instead of solo characters. Maybe playing hide and seek on the front and back of the shirt, or something. Or all over the shirt. Like, it'd be this white or light-colored Tee, and you've got Bloo somewhere up on the shoulder area trying to hide while Ed Coco and Wilt and Mac are on random places near the front/back hems trying to find him. (THEY NEED MORE GROUP SHOTS. WHERE ARE THE GROUP SHOTS?!?!?!/1)

The only group pic shirt that they have is one of black line drawings on a white background, based on an illustration from Craig McCracken's blog, in which the only character colored in is Bloo, who appears several times. Wilt appears once. There is also that Wilt t-shirt, with him running, that was recently released, but that's the only Wilt-centric merchandise released thus far. I'm totally with you on this one-we NEED MORE WILT STUFF! He is definately one of the most popular characters, usually tied with Bloo in most popularity polls, yet he's pretty much ignored by merchandisers. Every time I've been in a Hot Topic, and mentioned them getting in some Wilt shirts, the staff have all indicated that he's their favorite, too, and I almost always wind up discussing GWH with them in a rather lengthy conversation, lol.
Even more important, though-I wish that they'd have more shirts in stock that AREN'T meant to be worn by people who weigh 65 pounds! I mean, if the stuff is meant for Goth kids, I've seen some pretty hefty Goths walking around the malls, folks, so they aren't all anorexics! Given the popularity of Foster's among so many age groups and interest groups, you would think that the only chain to get a Foster's franchise would be more than happy to capitolize on that!

I think the only reason there isn't more Wilt stuff around is that frankly, it'd be hard to merchandise him. Sure, he's popular and stuff, but considering the length of his frame and the way he's built, it'd be tough. He'd probably be needing constant support to hold up his head or have something to prop up his arm. Either that or they have steel installed in his legs and fixed into the base or something. (Ouch. XD)

But duuuuude I'd totally kill for a Wilt shirt/hoodie. I know one of the members did a home-made one, with one sleeve that was stitched along the hem, can't remember who. But I'd totally kill for a Wilt-red shirt with the "1" on the front, with the right side having a long sleeve and the left one being short sleeved with thick, black thread (preferably really noticeable even from afar) "sutured" through the hems to replicate Wilt's left arm. :D Maybe it's just me but I love unbalanced-looking shirts.

If I knew how to sew/sculpt I'd probably do nothing but make Wilt-based stuff. XD

Were there any actual GWH posters or something? I know I haven't seen any, and there probably isn't since this was aired on TV and not on the big screen. I'm going off topic. XD

Caps! Those would be good too. I'd totally hit a Bloo cap. Or a Cheese one. ...Or a Wilt one with eye stalks coming out like Mickey Mouse ears. XD Or an Eduardo one with the "fangs" coming down around the front. What with global warming and stuff happening there should be more caps made. I DEMAND CAPS! :cheese:

Or pencil toppers! (I'm totally exploding right now lol. Is this what Goo felt like whenever she went on a IF creating spree?) You know, the little figurine things you stick on the top of pencils or pens or something. Not the "just a face" ones; like whole figure figurines. Cheese could sit on the pencil end. Wilt could "climb" one or something. I dunno. lol

And Frankie. There're so many Frankie fans on this forum lol. I'd hit her jacket and shirt. I can't see her or any of the humans being made as a plushie (human plushies always creep me out) but she'd be awesome on a planner, or something. A Post It pad! You'll have her doing duties in a corner of the Post It in the background or something.

Come to think of it, Bloo's actually the most marketable? You just stick his face somewhere, get that item his shade of blue, and viola. :bloogrin:

...I'm sorry, was this terribly off topic? :wiltshock: Feel free to delete it if it is.

I'd kill to find some desent, good-quality Frankie-related merchandise somewhere but there's nothing out there, and believe me, I've looked. All I've found thus far is the statue of her with Madam Foster and Mr. Herriman. Most of the rest of my Frankie stuff is homemade. And there's this, too:

Hope she doesn't creep you out too much. :frankiesmile:

they had a shirt with wilt at the hot topic I went to!
I bought two!
I just HAD to put one on.
^^ meh first-day-of-scool outfit!

Neat keychains!

Also they now have a Bloo+Cheese bag like the Bloo and Eduardo bags. Sorry I don't have pictures of those.

Oooh, I want the Bloo one in the shades. That one rocks! 8-)

Ooh! That Coco keychain is one of the most dazzling specimens of coolness I've seen in ages. They'd better have them in stock when I'm in Seattle a couple of weeks from now. ;)

Not only that, there's a Bloo necklace and now a cell phone strap with the logo, Bloo and Cheese!

Hey guys D:

I went into Hot Topic today, and they have new stuff =D

They have some Foster's shoelaces, three different kinds. One featuring Bloo, another featuring Eduardo, and the last pair with Cheese.

They also have a wristband that is blue with...well Bloo on it =D

Bloo wristband

I do not think they have pictures of the shoelaces online yet, but I am not sure because Hot Topic's website is going incredibly slow for me, and not even working at all using Firefox as my browser.

Anyways, I apologize if this has already been posted, I did a search and didn't see anything, so I took the liberty to inform you all =D

Enjoy!

Edit: Ahh, they put the Bloo shoelaces up on their site, no sign of them adding the Cheese ones and the Eduardo ones D:

Bloo shoelaces

Enjoy =)

Yesterday's haul

A men's size "Gotta Go!" t-shirt, the Bloo wristband, and the Cheese, Bloo, and Eduardo shoelaces.

Ooh, nice shirt. It's presently not available at the site. If I go anywhere tomorrow, I may look for it.

Hehe, I just got back, and they had this shirt =D

Ignore my laptop which managed to weasel its way into the photo =D

Question, with the men's shirts, where do I find them D:? I know my Hot Topic probably has them, but ahh, the girl's area has it's own little stand with Foster's stuff. Does the men's area have the same thing too? Or am I just blind and the men's shirts are located on the wall, similar to how they have wall displays of the shirts...Ahh I am probably jabbering and getting all confused with my words lol D:

I had trouble finding them myself when I went to one of the malls in my area today. I found that the mens shirts were in the Foster's area, but they were shoved behind all the girls Foster's shirts. As for the new "Gotta Go!" shirt... they just HAD to put it out after I got my "I pooted" shirt! Oh well, guess that's the price I have to pay.:cheesegrin:

Aww snap, I didn't see the new gotta go shirt today =D But I asked how often they get new stuff, and they said everyday Monday through Friday. So I will totally head back as soon as I get home from vacation next Saturday =)

Thanks for telling me by the way, I appreciate it =)
