Can't get enough Futurama
In Color

Kittens give Morbo gass...

This week in New York the Toy Industry Association is putting on it's annual Toy Fair.
Among many of the pretty sweet new toys on show were 3 new ones from the guys at Toynami, makers of 8 previous series of Futurama figures. Two of them, which are due summer this year, will make up series 9 and consist of Wooden Bender from the episode 'Obsoletely Fabulous' and our favourite smooth talking Peace Officer, URL.
Also on show was a fantastic Morbo figure but it is not yet known when he will appear and in what figure series(could he be another build your own figure like Roberto?).

Figures.com has extensive pictures of the figures and all of the other new releases at the Fair so go check 'em out!!

Nice! Really nice! :D I recently watched Obsoletely Fabolous and I was thinking that I would really like a wooden Bender action figure! I guess someone must have heard my prayers :D

I don't think Morbo will be the BAF. The whole thing with the Futurama line is that it has Build-A-BOTS (i.e. Robots). And while Wooden Bender is a pretty cool figure, there's enough Benders already. I'd rather have a Scruffy or Lrrr or Mr. and Mrs. Wong or a lot of other characters.

Good point. You may be right. I was just speculating.
Indeed, I would love to see Scruffy, Lrr or maybe even Slurms...!
I think they've expended all the Fry/Leela/Bender variants after this Bender although I think they will try and keep a main character in each series.
Other ones I'd buy: Cubert, Linda, Mom's sons, Elzar, Donbot, Joey, Clamps, Smitty. Hell, I'd buy 'em all!

Good list. Pretty much everyone I was thinking. I think if they released Clamps and Joey in this wave the Donbot would be a good Build-A-Bot. I think if they did Cubert they'd also put out a Dwight.
I'd also love to see Sal, Hattie, Agnew (to go along with Nixon), Kwanzaa Bot, Chanukah Zombie, etc... Any figure they put out I'm definitely buying, so I guess it doesn't matter too much.

How much you want to bet that if the series continues, they'll put out a Flexo?

All the figures are great. Just like most of you I'll buy all of them!!! If they are going to have a main character in each series I'd want them to go from the Futurama movie Bender's Game.
