And even MORE shirts at Hot Topic - Page 4 - Never Forgotten: a Foster's Home Community

One Radical Dude · 04-10-2007, 01:30 AM

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!

ooh thanks for telling us.

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.

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).

Eduardos_Mamacita · 05-07-2007, 11:24 AM

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.

Pawbah · 05-07-2007, 12:07 PM

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!
