We did see a couple of shirts which were suitable for the guys to wear, even if they were never much of a scratch upon the vast range of skinny fit designs available for us lasses. It's only in recent months that they seem to have regressed into doing absolutely nothing but Cheese - even their earlier favourites Bloo and Eduardo started to come out a bit short in the process. True, Bloo's face still found its way onto a lot of stuff, but chiefly as Cheese's marketting sidekick. I can only imagine how degrading Blooregard Q. Kazoo would find such a prospect.

Case in point: the new "Imaginary Friends are Forever" shirt, while a nice enough design, really does strike me as being better suited for Bloo and Mac than for Bloo and Cheese. But that's just my opinion.

It isn't just your opinion, but mine, also. If the reason for discontinuing the merchandise isn't because of other companies to license FHFIF merchandise, then I think it could be the over-saturation of Bloo Cheese (especially Cheese) merchandise. I look forward to seeing what's being offered from other retailers in the future.
