Lol well *I* never saw him! Well that's cool that's he's been around since the beginning, to deserve his own sticker! I wonder if he's some sort of injoke at the studio somehow. *shrug*

Here are the books that just came out: The first one is a sticker book, where you put facial features on featureless IF's. The second one is basically a junior novellisation of House of Bloo's.

I pre-ordered them from Amazon but they haven't arrived yet. How large are they? what's on the inside?

The sticker book is like 8 1/2 by 11 inches. It comes with stickers of the main characters and lots of eyes and noses and mouths. It starts with a scene of the house, and it asks you to put the stickers of Mac, Bloo, and the other main characters on it. Then it shows pictures of the main IFs from the show and asks you to put their facial features on. Then it goes on with pictures of some of the "background" friends from the show and asks the same. (Yay for Clumsy and the Groucho Chicken!) That's all.
The chapter book is 5 by 7 I think. There are some little color pictures - maybe I'll scan them and make clipart with them. The rest is text. Again, it's just a junior novellisation of House of Bloo's. I think it's well-written.

I ran out to my local Barnes and Noble to pick up these books yesterday. I think the cashier was a little freaked out, but oh well...his problem. I had such trouble finding them, with different people pointing me in all different directions of where I could find the books. I was lucky I even found them!

How are they? My parents would kill me if I wanted to buy one... which I wouldn't do for if I want to shop on the Net they'd get to know somehow, and in Hungary, well... releasing stuff of ANY kind is just sooo slow... and I couldn't find *ANY* CN stuff in *ANY* shop, even in some huge shopping centres... okay, Foster's is kinda a new show, but, I say, there isn't anything even about PPG!
Anyway today my Mom got the shock of her life when I told her I'm gonna buy a blank T-shirt, then find a good pic of Wilt (may I take one of your screencaps, Sparky?), and go to the shopping centre where they'll print it over it...
Anyway you shouldn't think you are the only ones who watch and *like* it... my classmates keep on "revealing" themselves... For instance, I drew a kerchief-like thing on the blackboard, and a guy said "Cool! That's Bloo!" and another one replied "Yeah, have you seen the episode when..." And today, the teacher said to one: "I like your shirt, it's of a lovely blue colour...", and another one said "Bloo is a nice guy..."

(may I take one of your screencaps, Sparky?) Like I think it says on my site, people are free to take my caps if they're going to use it to make something out of them. Anyways if you don't like any of the caps, a piece of "clipart" might be better. I plan on scanning in some of the drawings in the storybook. It just might look cleaner to have just the character, without a whole screencap. (Or just look for some good fanart?) I used to make a lot of custom t-shirts like that; coloring books are usually the best place to get the drawings but unfortunately there are no Foster's coloring book yet.

I heard from my little brother that there's a cartoon network annual out, and Foster's is featured on the cover - not sure about inside though. I had no luck finding it in the shops though, anybody else know anything about it?

Some of my Foster's stuff: There's more, including a couple of homemade calendars (one about Frankie, the other about Terrence), but not everything fit in the frame without sacrificing some detail.

Wow! That looks so cool!! What exactly is everything there? I know exactly how you feel Fomalhaut, I was trying to order a plush Bloo online...I want one so bad.. I'm slowly working on everyone I live with in college - got a few of them watching it! I know it sounds a bit silly, but I love the way it's hard to find Foster's stuff - it doesn't seem to have been taken over by the whole commercial thing yet (hope it never does). Kinda nice the way it's happy to just be a really really cool cartoon I think

Glad you like it. From the left:
"Make your own imaginary friend" stickerbook, from Amazon.com "Eduardo's Disc" w/ episodes "Who let the dogs in", "Eddie Monster", and "Land of the Flea", a homemade item "House of "Bloo's" storybook, from Amazon.com Plush Blooregard Q. Kazoo, about 8 inches tall, from the CN site The complete Foster's episode collection, all homemade
Hanging over all is a limited edition print from the CN site, measuring 13 by 19 inches. This print is so spectacular that I gasped when I opened the shipping box and first saw it.
Not shown are the figure set, the two homemade calendars I mentioned earlier, two T-shirts, a poster from CN, and a 6-foot bus stop poster I picked up on eBay. My apartment is starting to feel a little cramped...
You've got a good point about the lack of Foster's stuff. It really does make it seem that much more special when something new turns up. I still want a cap with the show's logo on it. I'll wait.

Here in Budapest I'll just have to get a plain cap, find the show's logo and download it on a CD-rom, then take it to the shopping centre and it'll be done in 30 minutes. I'm gonna have a T-shirt done. ;D

For now, I had a "Fomalhaut" T-shirt done. At the school the others loved that one, they know it's my symbol and artist name.
