He already sold out online yesterday. My guess is that he won't last long in stores either.

Nooo!!! He was online? Gah... would've been less stressful to get him online than to call around every day...

Going to hit up my HT after work today, keeping my fingers crossed somebody has something, anything.

Yesterday, they posted on Instagram that they had Castiel with wings, but since I have him already, I didn't make a trip.

I'm passing right by an HT and B&N later today, can stop in and look for stuff if anyone wants. This particular one never seems to have exclusives as quickly as other HTs, although they did still have some Castiels after everyone else sold out.

Saw that. Wish I could go!

Would have loved the GitD Storm, but oh well I guess.

Postby **DocRamon** » Fri Sep 26, 2014 4:24 pm

just like Peter Parker last year, they shouldn't say these are only available at the con... my stores have already put up signs detailing buying limits on sdcc and comikaze exclusives. they're clearly going to be in stores, probably for less money.

Is there a date when these will be at HT yet??

Postby **hreed2** » Fri Sep 26, 2014 5:21 pm

I'm in Tampa right now on vacation and have gone to 3 different Hot Topics so far and all of them have had the Castiel with Wings, Wishverse Willow and both of the new Walking Dead exclusives just a heads up for anybody in the area.

Postby **RogueSolo** » Fri Sep 26, 2014 5:57 pm

No Spike's yet, no Muerte either. Did see a couple Agent Coulson's though, thought that was odd. Picked up one for a friend.

Postby **Gren** » Fri Sep 26, 2014 6:15 pm

The HT in Joliet had a ton of Glenns, quite a few Carols and all the AHS exclusives. Don't remember seeing a Wishverse Willow and definitely no Vampire Spike.

Postby **asilentliaison** » Fri Sep 26, 2014 6:26 pm

Getting tired of waiting for vampire Spike to hit! Seems like it's taking forever. Pretty much every exclusive other than his is at my local store.

Postby **Rexus** » Fri Sep 26, 2014 6:37 pm

Omg I need that Captain America

Postby **saul_damascus** » Fri Sep 26, 2014 7:12 pm

Don't really want either of these. Maybe Unmasked Cap.

Great more Marvel pops get announced that I must get :/

They do look very nice though!

Postby **ITheDynamo** » Fri Sep 26, 2014 7:26 pm

More Marvel is never enough Marvel.

Just picked up a bloody Carol. There were a lot of variation on how "bloody" she was, so I picked the best one available! My Hot Topic had 4 each of Glen and Carol. They also had 2 Willows. I'm really waiting on the Jack Skellington!!

this hurts my brain.. saying HT exclusive but then saying a convention. are they just exclusive pre-releases and will eventually be in stores? if not, why not just call them a Comikaze exclusive?

to be fair he's not really an exclusive. I'm wondering if the stores that haven't gotten them yet, mine included, are just small stores and they don't get a box of 6. Mine has Spike but didn't have a Chase, so they must not have gotten 6 total or 1 would've been Chase. unless the main bigger stores just take what they want and the others get them from there.

When I picked up my chase Spike, Spike Pops had just been delivered to the store and the guy brought out the shipping box. The Pops actually get delivered 3 to a box. I know for sure that one HT near me got 6 regular Spikes while the one I got mine at got 2 chase and 4 regular.

They're exclusive to the Hot Topic booth at Comikaze, which makes them Hot Topic exclusives, sort of like Star Sapphire is a Fugitive Toys booth exclusive at NYCC. At least, that's how I read it.

I think they mean it will be sold at the HT booth/store in Comikaze... I hope they become available at popcultcha soon [-o<

I've gone three times to my two local HT this week and they have not had chase Spike yet. Looking to go out of town on Sunday and hoping to find something.

Yeah, the way I interpret a con exclusive is that they are made for the purpose of the con but are also available from a select number of sellers. Exclusively MADE instead of exclusively SOLD. I hope that makes some sense =P

Day of the dead jack and sally wernt hot topic exclusive but hot topic made glow in the dark versions for them. This jack and sally is a hot topic exclusive so I doubt they will have a glow in the dark version as well.

ht.com has The Book of Life Maria, Xibalba, and the exclusive GITD La Muerte up now if anybody's looking for those.

I noticed this sign in my local HT as well. It wasn't there immediately after the SDCC when I went in and found the Buffy Ex and Headless Herschel Ex, but was posted a couple of weeks later. I wonder if there were too many people buying all the same pops and therefore they put the 3 per style limit now.

I went in today to see if any of the Buffy line had come in and all they had was the regular Spike. They had at least 4 Spikes and nothing else. So I don't know if that is all they received or if the other characters had been bought already. No Wishverse Willow though and nothing from TWD.
There were a tonne of Winged Castiels a couple of weeks ago, but they sold out very fast.

Went to HT after work tonight and they had the new TWD POP!s. I was able to pick up the last of both Bloody Carol and Hershel. They had 16 freaking Riot Gear Glenns!!! Passed on that one. I'm not that type that buys something just because it's an exclusive/chase, and if you take away the fact that Riot Gear Glenn is an exclusive... man, that is one sh***y POP!.

I don't collect the Buffy POP!s, but I asked about the Vampire Spike chase since so many here are looking for it. My guy said they got 6 Spike chases in and all 6 were sold out of the back room before they even finished unpacking the truck. After talking to him about what came in this week and how many of each they received, I found it very strange that they got in more chase Spikes than they did the regular: 6 chases and 4 regular. Weird.

Btw, I usually have no trouble at all scoring exclusives at HT. So if there's ever something anyone needs, I can probably help out.

well Bloody Carol is an exclusive too, isn't it? I'd have sooner got Riot Glenn because it's atleast a change in character. I don't find the "bloody" ones all that appealing, looks like somebody spilled marinera sauce on them :p

Did your HT have any chase Freddy Krueger or Jason?
