Toynami Figurama 1.2 - Forum Discussion Now on Pre-Order!

[Reply #480 on:]

Whoa!  That's quite a collection.  I'm inspired!

[Reply #481 on:]

Thanks for all the kind comments, has taken a good few years to put this together.  Am always on the look out for rare items, so if anyone has any for sale drop me a line.  Really interested in prototype figures like the Bender Moore Action Collectibles figure.

In regards to the Futurama Cards, purchased them from eBay in May from seller thisisartiiist my understanding is he is bringing out new ones after Christmas.

Below is a Moore Action Collectibles Planet Express Ship, this is what the sculptor produced before the factory made the final figures.

Just had the Bender Figure graded by the CIB in the States and UKG in the UK, both gave it a grade of 85NM which is amazing for a Hardcopy Prototype.  Think you'll agree he looks amazing in his grading box.

Gimmie!

Just added a few pictures to our Twitter account @Futurama_shopuk showing a number of variants of figures.  The pictures are below.  Bender Sliver bobble head, SDCC variant and European Variant.  Also the Rocket USA URL.  Both amazing figures.  Want to see any other close up pictures please ask.

[Reply #485 on:]

that URL variant is great. Was it a prototype or actually released? Are there any other differences aside from the baton?

[Reply #486 on:]

From what I have found out both figures are standard release, you can find examples of both on eBay.  Only other difference is the blue pain on the solid baton version is darker.

Another picture uploaded to our Twitter account @Futurama_shopuk be great to have some members follow us, will upload pictures from the collection for reference.

the last time i posted in this thread it was october 2, 2013 in the morning. wow, its crazy how long its been since i was let down to the wonderful possibility of having flexo (altho, i was never a fan of toynamis obsession with bender; they did sell probably better than most of the other figures) and the robot mafia with tommy guns. but the figures i'm so down on not having have got to be morbo and lurr.

the kickstarter didn't pan out, so am i to believe that it's set in stone that i'll never get a morbo. sad faces all around.

[Reply #490 on:]

It's not just we collectors who were sad over the figures that never got made.

The sculptor just put up a sad Facebook "Memories" post on the Robot Mafia set.

Apparently, it was it's favourite set to do. Sad faces all around on that one, as well as Morbo and Lrr.

Such awesome sculpts... 

[Reply #491 on:]

All things considered, Toynami's run of figures was a pretty good one; cohesive, generally well-sculpted, and quality enough to be worth the (retail) price tags. It really is too bad the line ended before it fully kicked into World of Simpsons-style supporting character mode, but it's great we have pretty much every member of the core cast, anyway.

The Shogun Bender was one hell of an awesome way to end the series, too.

I was just randomly thinking about this group I’m really gutted it died in 2014.... and 2015.... and 2016

[Reply #493 on:]

Nice to see you around again, EvilPDA!

[Reply #494 on:]

Cough, then fall over dead.

[Reply #495 on:]

Yeah I’ve come back, holding out hope that Toynami will release the robot mafia

[Reply #496 on:]

Ha! what a foolish fool I was...

[Reply #497 on:]

Oh wow, this thread brings back some good memories.

I still have all of the figures, after all of these years. What a hell of a run.

Too bad the robot mafia and morbo never happened, but it was a blast all those years ago talking with y'all. Hope alls well. White flour, bake a cake.

[Reply #498 on:]

Just heard that Futurama is coming back, which reminded of this thread.

Still have the old toyline displayed on a shelf above my desk.

[Reply #499 on:]

I've sold off a handful of mine over the years. Still got all the P.E. crew, and a few cool variants and random characters like the big Destructor. Oh, and the huge Bender. That thing's sick... if not a bit hard to store.

Memories all over this thread!

[Reply #500 on:]

All I have are calendars, and the illuminated PE ship.

[Reply #501 on:]

I still have my toynami stuff

It'd be nice if the revival would somehow manifest that Lrrr and Morbo into reality though I won't hold my breath on that!

[Reply #502 on:]

Man, I really need those two and the Robot Mafia by Toynami

[Reply #503 on:]

Right Futurama is back, someone get in touch with Toynami and get them to release the robot mafia

[Reply #504 on:]

I just wrote a little blog about the various cancelled Futurama toys! Even mentioned PEEL and how the forum almost influenced Morbo's kickstarter release. Are there any significant cancelled figures I missed?

Very cool! The only merch I have besides a t-shirt or two is a light-up PE ship.
