FIVE33 is uniting Pirates of the Caribbean fans from coast to coast with a special Hot Topic takeover event, kicking off this Saturday, April 30th. We’re pulling out the big guns at Hollywood & Highland in LA and Garden State Plaza, NJ for a truly unique Pirates experience. Expect appearances from Pirates talent. Expect to catch a glimpse at the costumes and props used by Johnny Depp and Penelope Cruz. Expect the unexpected. Grab your mates and join Jack’s Crew at Hot Topic… Captain’s orders.

Nothing says “pirates” more than a skull and crossbones… except perhaps a major motion picture franchise with “pirates” in the title. As the 4th installment of Pirates of the Caribbean cruises into theatres May 20th, FIVE33’s “Mall Mutiny” comes crashing into Hot Topic stores across the country this Saturday, April 30th.

Head to Hollywood & Highland to see Hot Topic’s exclusive Pirates line, check out the actual costumes, compass and weaponry worn by Johnny Depp, meet the hot new stars in person and of course, get treated to a few BIG surprises. Grab your first mates and your cameras, because this one-of-a-kind Pirates experience has to be seen to be believed!

To the Batmobile! Oh wait, I have to go to work today... Charles GO AND TAKE PICTURES!

The first 100 HT+1 members get a VIP pass for a special advance screening of the movie on 5/14!

Would have helped if we knew about this prior to the actual day. I'm really not a big fan of the Disney Marketing strategy in springing these things on the fans just 24 hours prior to the event.....

[sithspadawan]

is it just me or do the button holes on the coat look....different

The frock coat button hole trim is definitely darker. More of a slate grey.

Ugh traffic both ways, well I saw Ronnie and the gang there (in pirate garb), so someone knew!

[Captain McCool]

Aye, I definitely agree with Charles. Although being far from that state it wouldn't have mattered much for me, heh. Still, Mojo's right, there are photos of a bunch of "regulars" out there on the Facebook page.

[Mojo Turbo]

ok, my pictures didn't turn out great. I was rushed. I was the last person to walk through before the store closed and they were going to redress it for their normal operation. I could have waited around for the store to re-open but I was with my 2 year old and we didn't have lunch. When I got there, I saw Ronnie and the gang posing behind Sam Claflin and Astrid Berges-Frisbey who were there signing autographs.

You were supposed to get a wristband, but nobody told the last 7 people in line (which was me) and so we were let in at the last minute. Because the actors were tired and ready to go, they were rushing me out and I had to beg them to let me take some quick picks of the costume, so here is all I got. (it's a long drive to take more, so hopefully some start springing up on the www now)

and to be honest, I was so rushed and so worried about taking pictures, that I don't think I even looked at the costume with my own eyes. I don't remember even having a moment to take it all in. megh.... maybe I will go back

[Cap.cristianSparrow]

well done , thanks mojo !.

[Jack of All Trades]

Yep! Got to see it today! They opened it back up again after the actors left and I got to see it without any crowds! and... hate to say it... but but as mentioned before... I didn't see any gold...

[Mojo Turbo]

Too bad we missed each other... eh I wouldn't have been fun to talk to hauling my hungry kid around. Now to see if I can make my gas money back

[Jack of All Trades]

I ended up meeting some friends that were there for lunch and it happened to open back up. I didn't know so I only got camera phone pics. Maybe I'll head up there sometime soon and get some decent ones if it's still up.

I am thinking its close to what I've started painting mine with. Its almost invisible to the naked eye, but lights up gold under a lens.

Really? I'd like to see that.

[Bilge Rat]

I agree, there is no gold! I just saw other pictures of the costume on display at Hot Topic that where taken by a certain person that made a certain vest, and they were taken without flash in direct light. Acme's vest looks very much the same. The embroidery on the Acme vest, may be a tad bit on the darker spectrum of Maroon, but I think a bit of good old sun weathering should knock that down some. Looks like ACME was right....again!

[Cap.cristianSparrow]

right, i thought most of you guys are familiar with the word " weathered ". a quick sample how the fabric changes colours with a bit of spray paint.
shiny silk blue -purple ish.. gold pattern.


Original. under day light.



Studio lights.



Even here you can see how change the colours under differents shades of light.

cloudy day light in london took it with me phone ( NO FLASH )


Indoors , with flash:




NOw about this topic.. go to "as a jack " "WHAT COLOR IS THE THREAD ON THE OST WAISTCOAT"

comments there plz.
cheers.

[Capn_Jack_Savvy]

Strange to believe that Disney would give Hot Topic's the HERO costume for display. I'm wondering if we are truly looking at the get up that JD wore in the movie or a mixture of parts he wore....?
