sucks for you Agent J^_^ No seriously, one cannot call themselves a Muppet collector if they dont indulge in the Muppet emporium that is Hot Topic...I mean seriously, do you have any idea what Muppet and Fraggle stuff your missing out on???
As for the Orange Julius thing...Im assuming its the Dairy Queen KSY promotion Warrick.(same company owns both right?)
As for the Mrs. Fields thing, hmmm...could be cool.
Yeah, It's one of my many weirdo quirks, that and I don't like wearing ANYTHING with long sleves! As for Dairy Queen/ Orange Julius, I don't see many of them round these parts! unfortunately, there is one Dairy Queen somewhere in Chelsea or something, And I can't get there (unless I take a commuter train, but that's like 5 bucks to find a stoire that sells Ice Cream) Between that and the Hanna Barbara promotion of 2000 (or 2001) I can never find one if I needed to.
Remember that little mall pizzaria Sbarros is the ONLY fast food place that has continually had kids meal promotions from all three major Muppet brands(Muppets, Sesame, Bear)
They have lots of those, though... but I never eat at the mall, anyway... too expensive. Plus when I finally heard about the Bear promo, they took it down and put up the Jump Start computer program related promo...
Though I do think the MFS ones stunk (cheap little viewers), and I never saw the Sesame one.
As for the Hot Topic Sesame stuff, good to see theyve added SS to their Classic Muppets and Fraggle swag mix. I will say however, that a lot of the Sesame stuff at Hot Topic is...um, not exactly for guys. And that Cookie Shirt looks horrible, like a thread bare thrift store hand me down. Will say its nice though theyre trying to make a small effort to market Sesame stuff for the older collector(nothing close to Japan, but oh well) But my, go to: http://www.hottopic.com/
Sesame is splashed all over the front page!!!
I hate when great characters turn into girl's shirts... Like the Pink Panther... on ladies undies... no no no!!! If I were to buy a shirt (a man's one... fictional) people would think I was ... well, you know. It's just not fair But I'd get those buttons and patched in a heart beat. Maybe if the sales are good, this will finally prompt SW to make more adult collectibles... or at least some new PVC's.
Nothing sexier then nerdy alterna chicks decked out in Muppety garb!
Man, we both have such weird turn ons, you and I.
