Upcoming HT Exclusives

[WendyWho]

Hipster Belle is back for those wanting her.

Uggggggh.. I must've missed her. Again.

Not on the website yet, it's just that it's confirmed she will be making in appearance in stores and online soon.

Ah, okay. That's great news! Hope I can get her this time around.

[boolaboo]

Stich, can't wait for that flocked stitch so CUTE!

[pop_jumper]

I hope someone posts a DIY/tutorial on how to do it well

I just did it. Bathed the head in hot water, and the tougue comes straight out with a bit of pulling and prying. Problem is...now there's a noticeably small hole in Carnage's mouth. Not a huge deal, but it might bug some people.

I'm happy enough with my results.

The fact that it is the exact same mold as venom is still bothering me to the point where I likely won't buy carnage, even though I really like the character. I think a GITD exclusive version of Anti-venom would be interesting enough to make me buy it though.

Yeah, it bothers me, too. It's not so much the face repaint as the body. Carnage's build is almost skeletal, while Venom's is that of a body builder. It doesn't look bad by any means, but its not great.

Anti-Venom I can forgive, but Carnage is tough to get used to. The pop reminds me more of Toxin (hinthint Funko! ) Than it does Carnage.

its getting hard to keep up haha! cant wait tho pops seem to keep getting better and better!

Does the hole go through the head, as in you can see the spring through the hole? Or is it just like an indentation now.

Also, what does the hot water method do exactly to the mold? I just want to know what to expect and what I should be looking for when doing it.

The hole doesn't go through to the inside. It's millimeters deep, but good news is that the vinyl is molded in the color of his mouth, so yeah, there's a hole, but its the same color.

The hot/warm water will soften the vinyl and loosen the glue. You can use the same method to pry heads from neck plugs. Just remove Carnage's head, and bathe it in the water, although, I suggest holding it and only submerging the mouth that way you dont soften the whole piece, just what you need to work on. So yeah, put it in some water and every so often tug on/ move the tongue around to loosen the hold. Eventually, it'll come out. It might take some force (be careful!) and some heat (again, be careful!) but it will come out. Be careful not to get the vinyl too hot, then you might risk deforming the head while you hold/pull on it. I suggest tossing some water in a pot and get it to just below boiling. Boiling will be too hot, and drinking temp a bit too low. You can use lower temperatures, but it'll take longer. Good luck, and be gentle!

[emcee]

Thanks! I'll probably try to put a spec of clay or something in the hole and then maybe just use a felt on it afterwards.

[Stragon]

I was looking for hipster Ariel and missed her by a few hours, work sucks.

[Guneagle01]

Went to my HT today and they probably had every exclusive except the ones I wanted, they did have one Stan Lee but the box was damaged

[synergy56]

Went in to pick up a Hipster Belle I put on hold and they had just unpacked Hipster Cinderella. They actually had all 4 of the Hipster Princesses in stock and still had quite a few Comikaze Stans and Agents and were unpacking the 2 new Marvel exclusives too.

[RogueSolo]

Carnage and Anti-Venom showed up at my store today.

[wenhol8710]

Carnage and Anti-Venom showed up at my store today.

Store near-ish to me posted photos on Facebook of them today too.

[TjSosaR13]

Went To my local Hot Topic as i was walking in a girl was putting Carnage and anti-venom out. I asked about hipster belle and informed me that they had just got the box, went back and brought her out. Picked the 3 of them and my U.S agent that i had order

[CP3x]

Anyone wanna pick me up a Carnage and Anti-Venom? Would gladly be appreciated

[rainomatic]

So has anyone got their hot cash earning packages in yet?

I got my order that I placed on the first day that hot cash was started to be handed out, but there was no hot cash coupon inside so I called CS. The guy I spoke to said he'll send a request to have "them" sent to me, so I was like - huh? You guys don't do coupons with higher values anymore? Just multiples of $15 off $30 ones? Upon which point he said he doesn't have the info and it's the department to which he's sending the request that's gonna handle that.

I really hope it's not just $15 off $30 coupons now. I'd hate having to call in to combine coupons when I wanna place an order -_-

[jaymak]

Hipster Cinderella showed up online, already out of stock but should be in stock again soon. For those not near a HT

[alice]

I got Hipster Belle, Hipster Ariel, Hipster Jasmine, and Gir today. Pretty good day for HT exclusives. I'm out of town and this neck of the woods isn't so picked over.

[deadlyallianceleader]

I took a peak at my local Hot Topic today, and they had a load of Snowy Holiday Dancing Groots, which was awesome

I can't wait for them to get Carnage already

[Xx4ST2R0NoTxX]

My store received Carnage, Anti-Venom and Hipster Belle Thursday, I just now saw this on their FB page! Lol, I hope there's at least 1 of each there this morning!

[asilentliaison]

Can't wait to go to HT today to see if my store has Hipster Belle in.

[0ShadowStories]

So how about the HT pre-release Marceline? Lol

[dishsnthings]

Nothing new today in our MA hot topic. :-(

[RedPats]

Nothing new today in our MA hot topic. :-(

Damn, thanks for the heads up. If you ever do find anything new let me know. I'm in MA as well and my closest HT is the Saugus one.

[ks082091]

Hawaii stores started to get the carnage, antivenom, and agent carter exclusive pop. Loads of those. Carnage was the fastest to sell out though.

[ryanc_]

Went to a HT today to see some of these in person, even though I wasn't planning on buying. Looked at a bunch of hipster belles, but none of them had the glasses positioned like they are on the box. They all looked kind of wonky, not sure if that's normal. Also, lots of the new pops had box damage, rarely see that at HT.

[madman1366]

While purchasing an Anti-Venom, Carnage, and Holiday Groot the girl working the counter let slip that Hot Topic will have an AWESOME POP event for Black Friday.

It seems they may also be doing a mystery box. She couldn't get specific about but she was dying to tell me.

So it looks like that will be one busy morning!

[HappinessGuano]

My store got in both flocked Stitch and a TON of Hipster Belle. I grabbed them both.
They had also gotten Carnage and A-V, but hadn't brought them out yet. One of the employees offered to go get one if I wanted them.

[Kuro-kun]

I went to Twelve Oaks Mall, and it looks like they had a nice shipment recently. They had Hipster Belle, Jasmine, and Ariel. They also had Carnage, Anti-Venom, Snowy Holiday Groot, GITD Gir, and some older exclusives. No Flocked Stitch yet, but I did get a BMO Noire cause he looked so sad and adorable.

[HawaiianLion]

My local HT had someone come in and buy out all the Carnage, Anti-Venom, and Nerd Belle and all but 3 of the new Agent Carter exclusives. Around $500 worth of Pops.

Yay for flippers.

It would be a great time for HT to put them on their website so that flippers get screwed over.

[rockndrummer182]

Which figure is the Agent Carter exclusive?

The one with the nitramene bomb. The accessory is pretty cool because it's translucent, but overall the exclusive doesn't look that different than the regular one.

I really wish Peggy had a new outfit for her variant. The blonde wig and dress would have been amazing. But I can't justify getting another one just for a slightly different item in her hand.

If you guys have trouble finding her, Carnage, AV, and the hipster princesses, keep in mind PC have tonnes of them in stock - just without the stickers. Don't feed the flippers :P

[commodorefunko]

Agreed. Even just losing the hat would be nice. Still, since I haven't picked up the normal on yet, I guess I'll just get the HT one instead.

[WendyWho]

Hipster Cinderella back in stock. Was just able to order mine. http://www.hottopic.com/product/disney- ... a&start=15

Good luck everyone!

[sromo006]

The anti-venom and carnage should have hit most hot topics by now. Would be good to check this week. Mine got it in over the weekend.

Same.

Like had she had another outfit, I would have been perfectly fine with getting another Peggy, but she's just way too similar to the non variant.

Anti-Venom Is Up
