Bender

While I’m not that big a fan of Fox TV's The Simpsons, Family Guy and several of its other animated situation comedies I am a fan of the hilarious science fiction parody Futurama.

Set in the far future the series focuses on a bunch of human and alien misfits and their outrageous adventures.

My favorite character is the beer-guzzling, cigar-smirking and womanizing robotic wise guy: Bender.

The Bender bendable figure comes in a clear plastic hanger/standup with a futuristic city background and picture of Bender.

The Dark Horse Comics figure looks just like its TV namesake.

The entire figure is gray, with an single antenna on the top of its round head, two bulging white eyes with black iris encased in a rounded extended rectangle of metal, a large grilled mouth, a tin can shaped body with panel and knob, serpentine segments legs and arms, two finger hands and circular flat feet.

The figure is posable in all sorts of twisted positions due to its flexibility and it holds a long rod of steel in its left hand.

For fans of Futurama the Bender figure is a fun desk or shelf accessory.
