Designer brand and urban vinyl toy producer extraoidinare, Kidrobot hooked up with the masterminds behind Futurama (Matt Groening and David X. Cohen) to design and produce a limited edition series of miniatures based on the characters from Futurama. These little figures are about 3 inches tall and are designed as a super deformed version of the characters. Unfortunately, like many Kidrobot miniatures, these adorable Futurama figures will be sold in blind boxes (blind boxes mean that you won’t know which one you will be getting). Heres a little description from Kidrobot regarding the Futurama figurines.

~ We’ve teamed up with Matt Groening and David X. Cohen for the second time to bring your favorite Planet Express employees to vinyl.
From the cryogenically frozen Fry to the ancient Dr. Zoidberg, 12 iconic characters, including 2 chases are coming at you blind boxed in the very near future. Each figure in this series comes with a sticker and some include accessories too!Time warp to the 31st century with cast of Futurama!

Some of the characters in the set will be Fry, Leela, Bender (HELL YES!), Dr. Zoidberg, Mom, Zack Brannigan, and more. Each of these blind boxes will cost you a little under 9 bucks. Hit the jump to see the rest of the figures and info where to buy them.

NIBBLER!!!

I’m a bit sad that Kif Kroker wasn’t part of the set, but I’ll keep my fingers crossed that there will be a series 2 to this set. The numbers on the right side top corner is the ratio of that certain character is in the boxes. So for Fry, there are only 2 Frys for every 16 blind boxes.

Also, remember… these figures are produced on a limited run so don’t hesitate to get yours.

Where to buy:

Kidrobot (sold as blind boxes only, but you get 10% off it you buy a full box of 16 blind boxes)

Tenacious Toys (sold opened at a moderate price, but they don’t have all the characters for sale yet)

  2. I recently got practically every Kidrobot Futurama figure that I planned. I started accumulating these a week or two ago and I assume they were released last year.
