Thanks to Quolnok from PEEL, is now official that the Futurama/Toynami wave (series) 9 will feature Wooden Bender + URL (Peace Officer) like it was mentioned before over here. Is now available for pre-order in the Big Bad Toy Store website. Here you go the official images thanks to Toy News International (click the images to enlarge):

Futurama/Toynami Wave 9: Wooden Bender + URL Morbo, the next Futurama/Toynami Build-A-Figure

Is kinda odd to change from Build-a-Bot to a Build-an-Alien figure (acording to the sources), in this case, Morbo. We know that Morbo is popular enough to be a build-a-figure, but I would have preferred another bot (like Donbot or the Hedonismbot for example). Perhaps the main reason why they added him as the next build-a-figure instead of another robot, is because Morbo is too tall to be a regular figure.

Is obvious that Linda should be one of the next regular figures to finish build Morbo, but we will have to wait and see what the next Futurama/Toynami waves offer.

Bender the Snowbot by MissusPatchesHi everyone, I'm back from 2-3 days of heavy work but now I've more spare time. Like the title suggests, is time to see some photos from the fans, of course, Futurama related. The first photos in the Photorama section are from MissusPatches, with 2 images of Bender the Snowbot. She created a Bender with snow, and it looks very good!

Wood & Paper Futurama fans by KaspiredThe other photos here today are courtesy of Kaspired (Mike Jessen). He created some interesting Futurama handwork. The first stuff he made is 2 different kind of hand-held fans, one is made of paper (+ wood) and the other is made of wood sticks, both featuring the Futurama main characters (there's also other photo with both hand-held fans). The other clool stuff he made is a puzzle with the same image, that it was featured in the fan letters page of FuturamaFreak1's latest comic.

Perhaps you noticed a small change in the news layout. In the bottom left of each update, you'll now find the Go To Article button, and in the bottom right you'll still find the Share it! button, but more minimalist and only with the AddThis icon. The title of each news entry is now bigger and you can also click on it and go to that specific news (like the Go To Article button). These changes where made because I noticed many people link a specific news with the main page and not with the specific news URL.

Hi everyone. I think we are still excited because new Futurama will appear in about 3 months, that's why you'll see a countdown in the right side of this site, over there --->

The Kiss (w/ Fry and Leela) by Kaspired (Mike Jessen)Is time for some sweet sweet fanart, this time with 2 artist you already know. The first one is Kaspired (Mike Jessen), and I believe I forgot to add some of his fanarts (sorry Mike). The image featured is a parody of the painting called "The Kiss" by Gustav Klimt featuring of course Leela and Fry instead. This image is very very well done and is truly a real painting. I've also added other 4 images like a chorus line headed by Zoidberg (along with Zapp, Kiff, Scruffy, Fry and the Professor), Amy and Leela vs The Odd Parents, and 2 other images that feature Granny Turanga (sweet old lady) and Granny Amy (crazy committed nut) that could be either interesting or shocking for you.. there's only one way to find out...

Nibblerina (w/ Fry and Leela pets) by Fer GaliciaThe other fan-artist today is Fer Galicia, and I've added 5 images he created. The first 2 images features the sketch and the color version of a commision he made that features Amy and Leela in bikini. The second 2 images are sketch cards of a very sexy Amy Wong and a sexy Turanga Leela. The final image (featured) shows Nibblerina with her nibbler-like-pets Fry and Leela.. that is an interesting idea of switching pets and humans.. or something like that.

Futurama Season 6 premiere dateAs you know, Comedy Central ordered 26 episodes to be produced as a new Futurama Season (if you didn't know, you're not following @slurmed on twitter). Recent news from Comedy central Insider confirm that Season 6 (Broadcast Season 7) will feature 12 of those 26 episodes

That's not all, an hour later, according to HitFlix's Comedy Central sources, the specific release date will be on Thursday, June 24th, 2010 at 10H00 p.m. Way earlier, we knew June was the target date of the premiere (later Phil LaMarr said in an interview that the release date could be near the Summer/Fall of 2010) so this was not entirely official.

Now we can wonder if Broadcast Season 8 (aka Season 7) will hold the other 14 episodes. or depending on how good Season 6 does, order more episodes.. pleeease.. In other early interview (sorry, link missing) David X Cohen said that perhaps Season 7 could premiere in 2011, but I think it all depends of Season 6 ratings.

[EDIT: March 5, 2010 / 09:28]
Svip from The Infosphere made me notice something. If this new Season has 12 episodes, the last one will air in September of 2010, giving us 2 months until December, and like CGEF contacts said, the 1st episode of season 8 will be an Anthology of Interest Xmas one that will air for the holidays.

What I wanted to say over here (I made the strike through paragraph confusing) is that depending on how good Broadcast Season 7 does (the first 12 episodes), Comedy Central could be asking for more episodes (Broadcast Season 9) even when Broadcast Season 8 has not started yet, because if they don't ask for more episodes soon enough, we will have to wait a long time (once again) for more Futurama.

The Surrogate Mutant, a fan comic by FuturamaFreak1 (Freako)Is here.. is here.. the latest fan comic by FuturamaFreak1 (aka Freako), I'm talking about The Surrogate Mutant.

This new comic has 36 pages (including covers, and funny extra pages) of Futurama goodness, and is the history about a casual delivery of the Planet Express crew after 1 year without an actual delivery mission. Things get complicated a lot when one of the professor's experiments is in the middle of the mission... So, that's all I can tell you about it, is very entertaining, and you'll find the extra pages very funny too.

Freako made an incredible work that required a lot of time, so if you wanna say something to him, visit his deviantArt page or send him an email (you'll find it in the comic).

everything is new today, the month, the fanart and the framegrabs. There you go, 200 new framegrabs from season 2 episodes 2acv04 - Xmas History and 2acv05 - Why must I be a Crustacean in Love... I wanted to add more but I've been busy with some other stuff on my PC. I'll try to create more each week until I finish them.. my deadline should be before the Season 6 episodes appear at Comedy Central in June.

St Valentine Eww (Fry + Zapp) by Sof-SofI've also added some new fanart. This time from 2 different artists. 2 new images created by Sof-Sof, featuring Fry with a Zapp plushie for St Valentines and other of Fry called "Melt". The other artist today is Miyojin Fry Mutou with 1 fanart featuring Leela + the FOX logo (not a winner combination according to the history between Futurama and FOX). Check that out and come back any time.
