It seems like only 2008 when Kidrobot teamed up with Matt Groening to make adorable Simpsons mini-figures, but in fact, it was distant 2007. Now the two are taming up again for Futurama figures of the same design, which is noteworthy because I adore Futurama and this line will include aliens like Llrr, Morbo and a few other surprises, which is something Toynami's (ever-so-slowly-released) actyion figure line has so far been missing. They're vinyl, $9, and will be available blind-boxed on August 13th. I love these things, but man, $9 is a lot to spend on a toy where you're not sure what you're getting. Eesh. (Via Toys R Evil)

Might be worth playing the odds for a Bender, Zoidberg, Brannigan, or Robot Devil.

I'd like Bender and Zoidberg, please.
So who are the blacked-out characters? Slurms McKenzie and...Hermes? The Professor?

Futurama is always a good thing. I love me some western animation, and Futurama is in the top 5 for me.
But yeaH... $9 IS HIGH.

I really want that Mom figure. And Zoidberg.
But the other human figures look a little deranged. (It's okay that Mom looks deranged, obviously.)

Morbo's already swaying me, but if they include a hypno-toad I will be totally all over this. Like, totally.

Awww... Cute little Robo-Devil.

Those look amazing!
But $9 blind-boxed? I dunno. They're pretty small and that's a high price not knowing which one you're getting. Might be one of those I'll get online already un-boxed/checked to be sure. Either way, I want a pile of them all over my desk...

I love kidrobot's stuff, but it's way too pricy, and the whole blind box angle just sounds like a scam to get you to buy more items than you normally would so you have a better chance of getting what you really want.
That being said, those do look pretty cool.

I love Futurama toys but F Kidrobot. $9 blind box? Come on. There's not a single affordable thing in their store and I usually want to punch anyone who's in there.
Froppie said:
instead of shamelessly making money off the franchise they should actually make some more episodes or movies,...
Futurama rules but if they not making any more they should just leave it be

Ugh. $9 blind box is hard to swallow, but I'll probably end up paying for it anyway.
I hope I get the Robot Devil 1st. I kinda need his hands.
