When this guy was first revealed people were quite excited about Hot Topic Guy. Along the way, there has been a lot of confusion on how you can get it. For starters, you can’t buy it. Some stores are receiving a few of these guys right now but these pieces are thank you presents for employees.
To actually get this guy, read this directly from Hot Topic:
