LEGO Futurama Fan Set Makes Official Line a Must

gizmodo.com — For those of you who run on beer, tell people to kiss your shiny metal ass, and think there's nothing better than LEGO Star Wars or LEGO Space, here's LEGO Futurama. As you will see in the 24-photo gallery after the jump, the Planet Express headquarters features custom detailed minifigs of the main characters

  • yokozuka, on 03/24/2008, -5/+11LEGO should do special limited runs of these things. I bet they would be able to sell all the production at a very high price, since most Futurama fans strike me as LEGO fans. However, the custom printed minifigs are way too expensive to produce. That's why they had to provide decals with the new LEGO Space fan-designed test. I would be glad to apply decals as soon as I could have my own Bender minifig.

  • hypnotoad32, on 03/24/2008, -3/+11As I said in an earlier submission; Dugg for including the Angry Dome, and, of course, the Hypnotoad.
    • rz8472, on 03/24/2008, -1/+4Is that a suicide booth outside the Planet Express Building?
      • mcgruff000, on 03/24/2008, -0/+1What else would it be?A telephone booth? pff amteur
    • ishotthedoor, on 03/24/2008, -0/+7What are you talking about? The angry dome is obviously missing. It would be awesome if it was included though.
    • antich, on 03/24/2008, -0/+4I don't see the angry dome in any of those pictures.
    • rzurad, on 03/25/2008, -0/+2where's the Smell-o-Scope?
  • wonderwal, on 03/24/2008, -3/+36omg, it's true! There's the hypnot**MUST DIGG THIS STORY**MUST DIGG THIS STORY**ALL HAIL THE HYPNOTOAD**
  • godogg, on 03/24/2008, -2/+71ALL GLORY TO THE HYPNOTOAD
  • Trention, on 03/24/2008, -2/+14Front page dudes

    • yokozuka, on 03/24/2008, -5/+1Looks like they are down thanks to Digg.
  • djdole, on 03/24/2008, -1/+7http://www.brickpics.com/builder/PepaQuin/Futurama ...
    Kinda looks like Conan O'Brien...who oddly enough, also played himself on Futurama in '99.
    • moskaudancer, on 03/24/2008, -0/+6"I may have lost my freakishly long legs in the War of 2012, but I still have something you'll never have! A soul!"
      "Meh."
      "And freckles!"
      "Waaahhhh!!"
  • umbriago, on 03/24/2008, -27/+2Well, that's pretty cool, if you're nine years old.
    • Fatcheeseguy, on 03/24/2008, -0/+10Working wayyyy more fun than playing with Lego right?
    • santaliqueur, on 03/24/2008, -0/+3Go watch Family Guy.
  • Yarns87, on 03/24/2008, -1/+4I am flickr friends with the guy who made this (Pepa Quin). I saw all the WIP pics. Pretty neat stuff. It is the same guy who had his actual minifig-scale Millennium Falcon design stolen by lego and then sold for $300 a pop. So maybe there is a chance for production. I sure hope so. Flickr set:

    • carterbaldwin, on 03/24/2008, -3/+3Hey Yarns! And I'm pretty sure that Lego has A) not stolen Pepa's version of the MF, and B) never sold a MF for $300. A lot of people had built minifig-scale Falcons before Lego started producing them.
  • Maxmojo015, on 03/24/2008, -1/+4Its not kiss bender's metal ass, he wants you to bite it
    • hotpuck6, on 03/24/2008, -1/+1actually, it's his shiny metal ass.
  • Bologner, on 03/24/2008, -1/+15Good News, Everyone!
  • ultralights, on 03/24/2008, -1/+4everyone knows the secret to winning battles is the element of surprise.........."SURPRISE" thud.
  • PainToad, on 03/24/2008, -1/+23Dugg for Scruffy!
    "Scruffy's gonna die like he lived"
    • moskaudancer, on 03/24/2008, -0/+6*flips page*
    • Kilometers, on 03/25/2008, -0/+2Scruffy is the best character in any TV show ever. Hands down.
  • scy1192, on 03/24/2008, -3/+3where's ZOIDBERG!?
    edit: nvm, I see him.
  • JonTheGoose, on 03/24/2008, -1/+8The Zap Brannigan Lego man is the best thing ever.
    • Oronar, on 03/24/2008, -1/+1It's creepy...
    • SonicTitan, on 03/24/2008, -0/+1Yup, he's ready to score some chicks on the rebound all right :D
  • Shiftyeyedgoat, on 03/24/2008, -1/+25Dugg because all program schedulers at FOX should be fired for incompetence.

    And beaten pretty badly, too.
    • pdevries, on 03/24/2008, -0/+7And ground into a fine pink powder that has limitless uses.
  • Klarth, on 03/24/2008, -4/+5Buried for Gawker rehashing digg content from earlier today.
  • godplaysdnd, on 03/24/2008, -2/+2Awesome
  • rswelling, on 03/24/2008, -1/+13Bite my plastic lego ass!
  • mmkayz, on 03/24/2008, -8/+0Really cool! But how did they do some of these things - http://www.bookgoo.com/goo/view/3353c8f6-f9f0-11dc ...

  • odessadark, on 03/24/2008, -23/+0Buried for implying that a TV show that is released directly to DVD means LEGO should build model sets for it. Ease back on the fanboi throttle, realize it's a niche program, and try and live without Futurama, Battlestar Galactica, Jericho, and Ron Paul LEGO figures.
  • Switchnig, on 03/24/2008, -1/+3Zoidberg FTW
  • InnerBlueAbyss, on 03/24/2008, -1/+4Trade it for a sandwich?
  • RnFDoctorZ, on 03/24/2008, -1/+2Does anybody know how one goes about creating these custom Lego figures/hairpieces?
  • AmICoolNow, on 03/24/2008, -0/+3Bender does NOT look right...
    Other than that, it's amazingly awesome.
  • pigducksheep, on 03/24/2008, -0/+2DR. ZOIIIDDBEEEERRGGG
  • snaprolld, on 03/24/2008, -0/+1Oh, snap!
  • jetblackz4, on 03/24/2008, -0/+3Where is a can of Slurm?
  • asskicker32, on 03/24/2008, -2/+2How did this get duped already? It was just on the front page about 2 hours ago. Unreal how this place works...
  • Kenzan, on 03/24/2008, -0/+2Darn!
    No articulated Zoidberg tentacles?

    Darn..
  • TwolfJB, on 03/24/2008, -0/+1SCHWEET!!!
  • gkwillie, on 03/24/2008, -3/+1Dug for the Hypno-Toad. Even though the show went downhill after the third season.
    • gkwillie, on 03/25/2008, -1/+1(Everbody loves Hypno-toad, for you amateurs)
  • JohnsonGotOwned, on 03/25/2008, -0/+2Please please PLEASE Lego, turn this into a set...
  • rsm5068, on 03/25/2008, -0/+1freaking sweet.
  • binaryloop, on 03/25/2008, -0/+1Dugg down for saying "after the jump". New rule: anyone who says this --who is not competing in the long-jump event-- needs to be strung up and beaten with a stick. Especially if it relates to a blog or web site. It's over. That expression is so 2006 that it sickens me. Stop it already!
  • jasonsalas, on 03/25/2008, -0/+2the thing that constantly trips me out about Lego sets (while admittedly completely rad) is that they leave so little to the imagination in terms of letting people build stuff. sometimes the pieces don't even serve more than a single function. forgive me for being old school. :-)
  • secondwheel2, on 03/25/2008, -0/+1dugg up for the suicide booth
  • godplaysdnd, on 03/25/2008, -0/+0"The president is gasping on my gas bladder what an honor!"
  • raarky, on 03/25/2008, -0/+1Dear Lego,

    Please sell this as a kit. I, and I'm sure many other people, will buy one :D
