Rocket USA's Futurama in Your Future

usa_thinkposter.jpg - 11874 BytesFuturama fans hungry for merchandise based on the show will begin to be appeased soon as the first products from Rocket USA make their ways to stores soon.

Rocket USA has several products planned for the Futurama license, all of which have a very retro-styling to them. The first product expected to roll out is Rocket USA's line of tin-signs, expect to ship this month. Six signs are planned at this point and each measures 10.25" X 15.75".

Next up is the 8" wind-up tin toy of Bender, the acerbic robot from the animated series. Bender is a tin toy wind-up, that will have walking action with moving arms and feet. Bender will have posable eyes and a rotating antenna that will change his mouth's expressions!

Also included will be a Bender Cigar and bottle of Olde Fortran Malt Liquor to hold in his hands! Bender is tentatively scheduled for a May release.

Nibbler, the alien critter with a voracious appetite, is due in July and will be a tin toy wind-up that will have moving feet action as it rolls forward, with Nibbler's mouth opening and closing, nibbling away!

August will see the release of a series of 3" die-cast collectible figurines of Bender, Fry, Leela, and Professor Farnsworth. Figures are also planned for Dr. Zoidberg, Party Bender, Hermes, Amy, Kiff Kroker and Zapp Brannigan.

Rocket USA is working hard to make the coolest, most unique toys possible. All dates are tentative, and could change.
