Out of the Toybox (61): Welcome to the World of Tomorrow!





Unlike the World of Springfield’s Simpson line, which produced 200 action figures, 40 interactive Playsets, and 3 town dioramas over a 4-year span, Toynami’s Futurama made a mere 28 figures between 2006 – 2014. These included robot figures (Build-a-Bots) whose parts came along with other figures, to be assembled when you had bought them all. I never did complete Roberto, whose arms came with Chef Bender (who, along with Wooden Bender and Url, were all figure in Series 8 in 2010 that ended the regular series and which I never got). Other characters never obtained (mostly because they were limited exclusives at toy shows) were a double-pack of Alternative Universe Fry and Leela, a Santa Bender, a blue Alternative Universe Zoidberg, an Alternative Universe Golden Bender, and a double-pack of Destructor (almost two feet tall) and Gender Bender. Figures announced but cancelled include Morbo, Lrrr, Clamps, Joey Mousepad, Flexo, and the Donbot.
