Product Description

Presenting Matt Groening's hilarious creation from the animated series Futurama. The sarcastic, beer drinking, cigar smoking robot Bender!

The Futurama Classic Bender Windup Robot Toy stands 8.5 inches tall and swings his arms as he walks. Bender includes a lit stogie ( cigar ) and a bottle of beer. You can even open and close Bender's chest door to stash his accessories or anything else that needs stashing. You can change Bender's expression by rotating his antenna. Just don't try to do that on the real bender. Bender comes packaged in a retro styled window box.
This wind up Bender robot is the classic Bender as seen on the short-lived Futurama TV series that is now in syndication on Cartoon Network.

Bender lovers will rejoice- this nifty little toy has got him nailed, down to the removable cigar and bottle of "Old Fortran" malt liquor. Twisting his antenna changes his mouth expression, and his door even opens to expose his mechanical workings. The only flaw I've found is that the wind-up key isn't especially sturdy- mine bent slightly when I wound him up.

I think what I like most about this toy is that it is designed and packaged in a retro-style reminiscent of the classic wind-up tin robots of the '50s. As such, it probably wouldn't keep most modern kids entertained for long (nor survive their physical abuse) but it's really something targeted toward older collectors anyway. Mine will adorn my office desk.

This guy is awesome... It seems like nowadays EVERYTHING is made of plastic.. Bender is made of metal, and has an actual mechanism that you wind up to make him walk. I don't know if I'd put this in the hands of a small child, but since Bender is an alcoholic theif, that copletely lacks compassion for anybody except himself, he probably isn't exactly a good role model for a kid anyway. But I think he's AWESOME, and so is this toy!!

There. Politically incorrect diatribe aside, this isn't for kids.

When I got mine, and upon removing the packaging of my lovable rascal, there was this funky smell and Bender had a slick feel to the case. So I'd advise washing it, and your hands, before really winding him up.

Bender is reasonably well built, and at 9" is a terrific size. And unlike the reflective version, this one's color is accurate to what you see on TV (I bought both reflective and matte versions and love them both equally.)

Best of all, he's educational because, when people ask, I say "He's the lovable rascal from 'Futurama', a show written by a bunch of folks with PhDs!"

Not a bad price, but wash or burn (and/or get high from the smell)...


So now I've got to ask -- they had the Gender Bender model... why not the parallel universe Gold one, preferably reflective too? :)
