Hey Twilight Fans!!
My name is Tracy and I work at Hot Topic. Anyway, Hot Topic has the exclusive license on the movie and book images for Twilight at least through the end of the year. So, it will be the only retail store where you can get Stephenie (and/or her management company or whatever) approved merchandise.
Here is some of what we will be carrying:
Tees:
- Right now we have two girls cut tees. One is the Bella/Edward movie pic with "When you can live forever, what do you live for" on the back and one is the Twilight logo with "The Forbidden Fruit Tastes the Sweetest" on the back and then one "guys" shirt with the movie pic of Bella next to Edward with all of the Cullens in the background. Of course we are selling out of those at lightening speed.
Within the next 2-3 weeks, we will be getting: Team Edward and Team Jacob shirts. A shirt with just Edward on it. And a "guys" Verbiage/Logo Tee.
- At the end of August, all stores will be getting a hoodie
Accessories:
- For Aug.
we will be getting pins, stickers, posters and key chains
They are working on (I am not sure if they are thinking of designs or if they are trying to get these items, I would say this means there is an 99% chance we would be getting them)
Oct:
- Sketch book
- Journal
- "Team" rubber bracelets
Nov/Dec:
- Fragrance
- Body Mists
- Body Shimmer Powder
- Assorted "Crest" jewelry
- Tote Bag w/ Bella and Edward
- Fleece Throw and Pillowcase of Edward
- Jewelry Box
Now, unless stated otherwise, there is no guarantee that all stores will get all items. The only "all store" item so far is the Hoodie, but I am sure they will send it to many many stores seeing as how they expect this to be our biggest license this year. Hot Topic has exclusive rights to it so no one else should be carrying it and if they are, it is not authorized which means that Stephenie is not getting any royalties (or whatever they call it for merchandise) for it.
This stuff is also just the beginning they said they have a lot more ideas in the works. I will keep you updated.
