And even MORE shirts at Hot Topic
 

Went to a HT today and saw three new girly tank tops - too skinny for me to buy, even the XXLs, so instead I just took photos with my camera phone. Sorry they're not the best pics. (The BlooCheese one is on the website here but not the others yet.)

Those are really nice :) , even though they're not for males (:P ).

I'm sorry you can't quite see the cute little faces on the happy falling potatoes. I guess they're Imaginary Potatoes...too bad they'll have to go hole up with Charlie the Chicken Leg if they don't want to get eaten!

And here I was hoping.

So, more Bloo, Cheese and Eduardo? Don't get me wrong, I think those shirts are really neat (the Bloo one especially) but don't they realise what a market there'd also be for Wilt and Coco shirts? Hot Topic needs to stop neglecting those guys. :(

Keeping away from Eduardo would be a pretty good start.:bloocross:

LOL! I need that second one!



But yeah no more Eduardo. I want a Bendy shirt! Bendy's soooo cute~ :sadbendy:

I love the bloo cheese one XD

and I agree they need tshirts of the other characters =(
I want a wilt or berry or bendy or goofball shirt

I can't disagree there. It definitely would be interesting to see a Goofball t-shirt.

I'd kill for a shirt that had Berry on it and it said "Cute but Mental". :)

Seconded. Or a Duchess shirt saying "You dress terribly, you're uneducated, and your feet do smell!" >:(

I would buy it. :bloogrin:

(Thinking about it, there's probably a wealth of potential Duchess t-shirts which I would get a real kick out of wearing whenever I'm in one of my meaner moods. "Why are you making that hideous face? Oh, I forgot...you always look like that.")

On second thoughts, I don't want to get punched.

Maybe Sparky will take our ideas to heart and make shirts in the Cafepress store...;)

But back on topic, I luff the pink Bloo one.

I can use the quotes but not the characters on the Cafepress stuff. :P Although I was thinking of making a designs section on my website, ready-made t-shirt designs (which could have the characters) people can print out themselves on those printable iron-ons, you know. But as for the Cafepress shop, y'all are free to make suggestions in that thread, or through PM or something. :terrsmile:

a Deo shirt would be cool XD
no I don't mean a shirt with bloo wearing the deo costume
I actually mean a shirt with the Deo design

I'd love to see other characters make it on merchandise too but I would most certainly die for that Eduardo tank. I NEED it. That Bloo tank is really adorable too. :bloogrin:

I demand they start making men shirts!:frankiemad:

Oh I forgot to tell you guys, when I was at HT today I saw yet another babydoll shirt. It was a darkish grey with a large image of Bloo playing paddleball, the same image I used in this drawing. I passed on it, as I wouldn't look good in any of those shirts.

Dya think they'll sell tops like that in England? Or at least deliver them over here? I love the BlooCheese one, it's got to be one of my favourite episodes=]

Yep, Hot Topic do deliver internationally. I had the Craig's Blog t-shirt sent out to me at the beginning of March, and it arrived in great time. Postage is a tad pricey, but it was worth it. Now I can walk around with Wilt, Coco, Bloo, Eduardo, Berry, et al displayed proudly on my chest - it feels so empowering. :scaryberry:

Lol, thanks=] I'll start nagging my parents now then! Muahahhha!

Who says discrimination isn't still a problem?
 

Gaaah! :frankiemad: Whywhywhywhywhy is all of this stuff for women only? :(

I swear, it's like the Powerpuff Girls all over again...it's so frustrating sometimes to be a male fan of this show! Thing is, with PPG, even though it really got to me sometimes (I found a PPG fashion shop in Guangzhou, full of really stylish, well-made and well designed clothes that I just couldn't buy :(), I could understand it - even though I'd be perfectly happy to walk around in a T-shirt with Bubbles on it, I guess not many other guys would. :P But why Foster's? There's nothing inherently girly about the concept, or the character design, and they could easily produce suitably masculine-looking Foster's clothing. I mean, I'm not deluded - I'm not expecting them to produce guys' shirts with Frankie or Berry on them, but why not male or even unisex T-shirts with Bloo, Ed or Wilt on it? :terrconf:

Seriously, I'm desperate for Foster's stuff - I feel like I've got my money in my hand, and I'm just waiting for the chance to give it to them, but they won't let me! :wiltshock: I tell you, stuff like this, and the fact that there's still no indication the Foster's DVDs will ever come to the UK (:frankiemad:!!!), sometimes makes me wonder if CN even wants me to be a fan:( ...

More specifically, skinny women only. :P And don't tell me to get the XL or even the XXL. Those fit me fine around the...yannow, chest area, but not over my hips. I want plain t-shirts, not those stupid babydoll things. -_- I mean, I did buy a few of them just to have them, but it sucks majorly that I can't even wear them. The closest I can come is giving them to my skinny, perfect Sims.

Dear Hot Topic:

How 'bout some shirts for the guys, too?

Sincerely,

BlooNuggets

I'm tempted to send an email to Hot Topic. I'm kinda getting annoyed with the fact that the guys are being left out. >:(

Not to sound mean or anything, but the first two shirts that Hot Topic put out (the Ed shirt and the one with the house with everyone around it) were guys' size shirts. Granted, it was only two, but I just thought I should bring that to everyone's attention:P

It's a conspiracy, I tells ya.
 

Well, that's something I guess, but from looking at the website, it doesn't seem like they sell those any more, unless I'm being incredibly thick and have just missed them.

To be honest though, the fact that they used to sell them but don't any more just adds to my paranoia that they're deliberately trying to avoid letting me have what I want. :frankiemad: I know what's going on here...they're all against me...all of them...:bloocross:

Yeah, I don't think they sell them anymore, which kind of sucks. That's the thing about Hot Topic...new stuff that they come out with gets fazed out and replaced by new stuff pretty dern quickly. That's why I'm always rushing out there to get something that I want as soon as it somes out:P

Ditchy McAbandonpants has a point there. I did know at one time Cartoon Network's shop sold adult unisex shirts.

I'm aware of that and I have them (and the other Ed shirt which was also a standard-sized shirt). It's just there's been this massive *wave* of babydoll tees and tanks. It hasn't just been a couple, it's been what, at least a half-dozen by now.

Yeah, I mean, I'm not really fond of many things HT has, but they're the only ones rolling out the Foster's shirts that are NOT home made, and I like a lot of the shirt designs they have. Unfortunately, most of them are only the babydoll tees and tanks.

Anyway, I sent an email using their customer service link. I doubt I'll accomplish anything there, but I wanted to let them know that I and some of the guys feel left out. Yeah, they DID sell unisex shirts before, but that was early on, and they never did carry anywhere as many of those as they did with baby doll/tanks.

One last reply in a row. I actually got a reply from someone at the HT customer service.

Well, there you have it. It doesn't guarantee that they're going to roll out anymore unisex t-shirts, but at least I was heard.

There are some men's shirts in development right now. There won't be as many as the girls, but there will be some. Keep telling Hot Topic that you want them so they stock 'em!:)

-Lauren

ooh thanks for telling us.:)

Men of Never Forgotten, unite!
 

Cheers to ORD for taking the time to put our queries to Hot Topic, and cheers to Lauren for once again coming in and clarifying things for us. :) At first I thought that the reply that Hot Topic gave to ORD sounded a little bit too much like an insincere stock response, but the fact that they are developing some men's shirts gives me hope that they are somewhat prepared to listen to consumer demand. Of course, the best way of telling them that we want men's shirts is to buy the ones that they produce, so here's hoping I'll be able to get my hands on one once I get back to the UK. :)

Speaking of which, I wonder if Lauren could wave her magic wand and get those good-for-nothing CN honchos to fix Europe up with a release of the Foster's Season One DVD...actually, I doubt her powers are that great. :P

Don't worry. They will. Anywho, that "I pooted" shirt is still available at shop.cartoonnetwork.com!

You can see all the shirts they have on the Hot Topic Website. ;)

Thank you for the easy link. All I have to add is that I hope these upcoming shirts kick some serious butt, and not be all focused on Eduardo (even though I understand why there are more Ed shirts).

=/
 

I'm not trying to be rude (Really, I'm not. I'm new and I should know my place.) but it's driving me crazy on how whiney you guys are being. It's either "OMG WHY DON'T THEY HAVE SO-AND-SO ON SHIRTS?!?!?!?! TOTALLY NOT FAIR!!!!" or "OMGZ THEY HATE BOYS THERES NO BOY SHIRTS OMGZZ"

I for one was excited (and surprised) just to see Foster's stuff being carried anywhere, whether I could buy it or not. I'm usually broke and I can't buy merchandise anyways but I don't complain about the prices. They still have pins and patches that you could easily make your own shirts out of if you don't like the shirts they're offering.

When it comes down to it, they're going to make what's going to sell the most; not what you personally want. They have a lot of tank tops because it's almost summer. Tank tops = summer. See? And they're going to put the most popular characters on the merchandise (ie: Bloo, Cheese, Eduardo) because that's what makes them money.

I apologize if I come off cranky in this post, this is just something I really wanted to get off my chest. I think we should be celebrating the fact that Foster's is expanding, not complaining about it.

Um, yeah I am excited that Foster's is expanding, but I have a complaint about the shirts too. I am a girl and I am too tall for the girl shirts. They don't look right on me. I hate the whole baby doll trend thing. I'm waiting for boy shirts too, just so I can buy some that are long enough!

I'm buying the patches and stickers and everything, but I just want more!
