There is a seller on the bay who has listed them with their rarities. Here it is.

According to them:

5/40 Bender
5/40 Nibbler
5/40 Zoidberg
2/20 Fry
2/20 Leela
2/20 Zapp
1/20 Lrrr
1/20 Mom
1/20 Morbo
1/20 Sal
1/20 Slurms

Looks like they already sold out of robot devil, because I remember seeing him there before. I think he had a 1/20 rarity or thereabouts too (maybe 2/20); he couldn't have been there rare if you guys pulled 2 or 3 in your cases.

[Reply #441 on:]

I'm glad they seem to be making the rarity a bit less of a factor. Last time Robot Devil was way to hard to get. Speaking of Robot Devil, the six inch version is coming out on October 3rd according to the KR website...

Wow, that looks awesome! I really like the design of his Box! It shows the difference between the Original Version and the Stylized Version very well.

I wish he had the top hat and cane though.

I just picked up my Robot Devil today at the Kid Robot store in Soho. It's pretty sweet. If anyone happens to be in the NYC area they are having a "buy one, get one free" sale all day today on blind boxes.

[Reply #445 on:]

Ooo, will need to check that one out online. Thanks Snips!

[Reply #446 on:]

I completely forgot that they'd made a set of keychains. Haven't even seen any in shops which is a bit strange! I ought to get at least one so I can have a radical dude on my keys.

[Reply #447 on:]

Hope they continue making stuff even though the show is done.

[Reply #448 on:]

well, they have already announced at least one more 6 inch figure. Hedonismbot. Hopefully sales will justify continuing.

[Reply #449 on:]

Did they mention around when they'll release Hedonism Bot? I'll definitely be buying him, whenever he comes out.

[Reply #450 on:]

I have seen preorders advertising December of this year.

[Reply #451 on:]

How much would you say Hedonism Bot would cost?

[Reply #452 on:]

I think 50 bucks is a very safe bet. All the other 6 inch KidRobot figures were that price.

[Reply #453 on:]

It's also the price listed at entertainment earth for him.

[Reply #454 on:]

Nov. 21st!   ...and he comes with the grapes

[Reply #455 on:]

Imagine the line for the Hedonism Bot figure.

[Reply #456 on:]

If it weren't so expensive I'd get that to go with my Morbo & Mom.

Hi guys, been wanting to share some Kidrobot Futurama customs I've added to my collection recently.

Came across an eBay auction, tracked down the customizer, had a bunch of fun conversations shooting around ideas and in the end I received eight custom figures! 

So you've got the Universe B foursome, which is what I'd originally seen him do. He also had done a Zapp in a pink uniform, which is not from the show, but just for fun and I liked it.

And from there, we came up with ideas for two more Zapps - his dress uniform and his bathrobe 'welcome to the Lovenasium' look.

Lastly, we took a stab at a glow-in-the-dark Fry, which would be from the Slurm Loco episode if memory serves.

I say "we", but I had just had the easy part of throwing out ideas!  The hard work was done by this great guy named Ricky, who goes by the username excorphy over at the Kidrobot forums.

So if you like his work, look him up over there and tell him. Maybe he has time to do more...

For more pictures of these babies, check out my album here.

got my Hedonism Bot today...

[Reply #459 on:]

Those customs are very awesome!  They look very well-made, I wonder if he'll make any more customs.

[Reply #460 on:]

I'm loving that Hedonism Bot! I have a question about him, though; Do they only produce the figure in the larger size, or do they also make a more standard medium size? I want to know because if I get one, I'd like it to be as in-scale with the Toynami figures as possible, seeing as that line is practically dead at this point.

Kidrobot - Futurama Series 2 is coming!

[Reply #462 on:]

I can't really find any proof for that on the internet, do you have a source to show?

[Reply #463 on:]

From the site where that image is linked:

Forbidden Planet Futurama Merch

[Reply #464 on:]

This wave looks pretty awesome to me. I'm definitely going to try to purchase Hyperchicken and Roberto. It's cool to see that this line's producers are willing to make a variety of main and secondary characters.

[Reply #465 on:]

I am disappointed that there is no Farnsworth in Series 2. 

[Reply #466 on:]

So we've got:

Captain Yesterday (Fry)
Kif
Super King (Bender)
Clobberella (Leela)
Hermes
Hyper-Chicken
Elzar
Amy
Calculon
Roberto

And maybe:

Hedonismbot ?
Donbot ?

[Reply #467 on:]

My reaction is...

A big cheer!

Kidrobot gives us a second season. It hardly seemed to be in doubt mind you, but nevertheless you never know with toylines, especially with the show's cancellation.

A half-cheer!

Lots of good characters, but I'm not a big fan of the New Justice Team taking up 25% of the slots. If there was going to be a group, would have much rather had the Robot Mafia.

A loud boo!

No Farnsworth? Nooo! It's pretty cruel not to complete the core Planet Express crew as a third series is hardly a given (though quite possible).

It's also a bummer not to get Scruffy. Really should have had him before Sal and it's disappointing he's not in this series.

[Reply #468 on:]

Futurama fans really need to support the Kid Robot line. Toynami has killed theirs just like MAC, RocketUSA, Dark Horse, RIX, NJ Croce, etc... This is all we have left and you figure it has to be fragile with the show being off the air.

I think the lack of Farnsworth and Scruffy is a good sign to be honest. That would lead me to believe that they are holding a few core characters back for a third series. I think only including one of the three Robot Mafia members reinforces this theory as well. Let's hope series two sells well.

[Reply #469 on:]

I am impressed with Series 2. The keychains I didn't get because they look exactly the same as the originals. With the show deceased though, I find less reason to get into this merch like I used to Also, that finale really pissed me off

[Reply #470 on:]

Last year, I got a Fry, a Leela and Mom figures from the Kidrobot store (almost completed the sweep!  ).

I'll say, I was fairly lucky.

Sure, it's a good sign in that it means Kidrobot is saving some core characters for a future series. But that's the trouble with toylines, they always hold key ones back for the future, but then the line ends, as all lines do, and we end up with holes.

Scruffy aside, the Planet Express core group is really just six characters, so they really should have got them all done within these first two series of 24 figures. I'll support Kidrobot and get this second series, but if we don't get to a third and Farnsworth, I'll be pissed.

[Reply #472 on:]

Yes! The new Rid Robot line is the real deal! I'd given up hope to be honest. Really liking that there's Roberto and Hyper Chicken figures. I'll jump on these when I can within price reason...

[Reply #473 on:]

Yes! The new Rid Robot line is the real deal!

The Rid Robot's new line is okay, but the Kid Robot's new line is better.

[Reply #474 on:]

You've got to be ridding me...

[Reply #475 on:]

I am not ridding.

[Reply #476 on:]

Just opened a full case of the key chains.

Got everything except for mom,

Have Zoidberg, Nibbler, Robot Devil up for sale/trade.

[Reply #477 on:]

January release date for Series 2 gone, "Stock on the way soon" ...

edit - There's a picture of the actual figures on Kid Robot's official website. Roberto looks especially awesome! Mid Feb....

[Reply #478 on:]

Calculon looks intoxicated in that picture.

[Reply #479 on:]

Really disappointed with the choice of characters.   The only one I really care about getting is Amy.

They should have had: Hedonismbot, Hermaphrobot and the Crushinator.    I would have also loved the Countess but I think she's too obscure.   Fanny would have been nice too or Angelyne.  An Amazon would have been cool too.   What Kidrobot should do is a spinoff called Bots, and Aliens.   I would have had three series: humans (meatbags), non-meatbags (robots) and green meatbags (aliens).
