Zoidberg figure

[on:]

Ive seen toy figures of Fry, Leela and Farnsworth on the internet, but does anyone know if there is anywhere you can buy a Zoidberg figure?

I think Rocket USA had a Zoidberg figure in their second set of Futurama figurines.  I don't know where to buy them, but I bet there are some on ebay.

I've heard there is plans to make a naked (sans shell) Zoidberg (like he's seen in the episode "Amazon Women in the Mood" ) that would kind of have the same feel as the Horrible Gelatenous Blob that's now available. Should be pretty cool.

I've heard people wishing they'd do that, but no plans by any company ... If you could add sources (same with the region dvd release, if it's just some shop keeper who said it, I won't bet on it), that would help.

I'd love to, but I don't want to get my source in trouble. I realize that you guys probably deal with rumours all the time, but you'll just have to take my word for it on both items -- my sources are pretty reliable.

It would be cool if we had some though.

Dark Horse had considered the idea about a year ago so it is possible that this idea could become a reality. My bets would be on them at this point as they already have a history of producing squishy figures like HG Blob and the forthcoming Brain Slug.
Dark Horse never gave me any indication that they were going forward with this and even at SD Comic Con some of the workers at their booth seemed down on further Futurama merchandise. It sounded like they did not sell very well which made the announcement of the Brain Slug all the more surprising. I know that they were very interested in this idea as early as January/February of this year but after the HG Blob came out it got very quiet over there and then came the cancellation of the pop-out peoples. At that point I had figured that DH was out of the market for Futurama and were moving on to the Simpsons.
What does all this mean? It is a possibility that this could happen but I will believe it when I see it. I certainly hope they do that is for sure!
