Planet express ship...

[gort]

HEY....has anybody ever seen a Planet Express ship offered as a toy...hopefully in metal? If so...where? I know where to get a Zapp Branigan toy gun, but a Futurama rocket ship would be SOOO COOL!!

[Gazereths]

Im sure i have seen one!! But futurama merchandise is becoming more and more difficult to buy!! Hopefully when the new episodes come out they will make a whole new line of merchandise!!!


Give me a few minutes and i will track down a link for you!!!

[gort]

I've seen the little one before...I was hoping for a LARGE tin one...ya know Japanese production...6-12 inches...that would be cool ( as previously stated by Gort )

[Gazereths]

Sorry..i was unsuccessful in my hunt for a planet express ship .... The only one i could find was on eBay...And it was the small one!! I don't think there is a large model available yet!! Hopefully (like isaid previosly) There will be a new range of stufff coming out in 2008!!!!!

[gort]

Thanks for looking dude...I'll keep my eyes peeled ( Ouch! ) in the future for more stuff...so far I have...........Hmmm......let me think...................um......ZERO Futurama collectibles....just the dvds. Would buy a ship though........

[Gazereths]

Yeah so would i...Ive got the comics..Thats about it....except the DVD's

[Metter]

They havent really made thqat much stuff have they?

[gort]

I think they have Metter ol'chum...I've seen lots of figures, magnets, wind-up toys and stuff...I just want MORE!!

[Gazereths]

tThey've made figures and stuff...But not loads! Bender...gender bender... slurm cans...some other stuff..but not loads

[Metter]

I havgent seen any fry or leela or zoidberg!!! ONES THOUGH....Zoidberg is the best..I want ZOIDBERG STUFF!!!

[chirpy7]

TO be honest the only figures I've seen of cartoon's are from Simpsons, Dragonball Z and Pokemon!!!

[Cloverfield]

You never seen any Futurama ones?

[chirpy7]

No Im afriad I don't, I would love some thou!

[gort]

Smokey...can you set up a link to 'the garment district online store'....they offer Futurama and simpson toys and collectibles...lots of pictures of items offered...


I've seen Leela figures AND Zoidberg.....never in a store, just online....wait...no, once I saw some stuff at a comic book store

[Cloverfield]

Give me the link and i will make it a sticky here.

[chirpy7]

Oh I'd love to see some pics!!

[gort]

Don't know how to cut or paste or drag or anything...I'll type it out for you and try to get it right...http://www.garmentdistrict.com/store/popculture/futurama/index_futurama.htm


that's at least close....good luck smoke!!

[cerberus]

i might by a bender figure if i see one in a store sometime.....


*randomness*

[JetGirl]

they've only come out with the small ship, no big ship and it's super rare at this point so if you see one i suggest picking it up. the horrible gelatonus blob with the professor inside is another one that's UBER rare but man, it's such i cool toy, it goes Squish! lol it's probably my favorite one.

i was supposed to get a windup nibbler, the really big ones, but never got around to giving the comic guy money so he eventually sold it. ah well.

[Cloverfield]

A massive version of this would be soooo cool. I would love one!

[hoopymo]

same

[hoopymo]

but theres always ebay!

[Cloverfield]

Already been checked and theres nothing there.

[hoopymo]

hmmm thats bad

[Cloverfield]

Yeah, its a shame, but i guess the price would be extortionate!

[hoopymo]

yeah

[The Illusive Man]

Too bad Hasbro doesn't have the licence then all sorts of stuff woulf be made, including the PE ship i bet

[hoopymo]

probs yeh

[The Illusive Man]

Hells yeah, hasbro would make it definetly

[hoopymo]

have u seen the way they've merchandised family guy

[The Illusive Man]

Yup,it's exploded into merchandise, if Futurama was done by Hasbro then it would have greater mainstream success, like the Star Wars line.

[JetGirl]

but at least the company that's doing it now is making really good quality toys

[hoopymo]

yeh but there not really out there compared to hasbro

[The Illusive Man]

Yeah so does Hasbro, but they have a much greater distrubution

[Cloverfield]

Well hopefully, due to the new film, lots of new merchandise will be made for people to get!

[frys_red_jacket]

yeah like there was with the simpsons movie

[The Illusive Man]

Exactely

[hoopymo]

no offence guys but remember how overhped the simpsons film was and all the advertising

[The Illusive Man]

It was, plus all the funny bits were shown in the trailers

[hoopymo]

oh yes im feckin sick of spiderpig it was funny ONCE not 70,000 times

[The Illusive Man]

Wasn't even funny the first time

[Cloverfield]

Was just about to say the same thing. But if i recall correctly, you did actually laugh at that jedi.

[The Illusive Man]

Mildly, but not a proper laugh which i was expecting the movie to be like.

[hoopymo]

same here it really dragged on

[The Illusive Man]

Hell yeah, just got boring towards the end anyway

[hoopymo]

it was a predictable story plus why was arnold swarchenegger drawn as rainer wolfecastle guy

[The Illusive Man]

Because they both have similar accents, and rainer wolfecastle was meant to be arnold schwarzenegger.

[hoopymo]

yeah but it just sucked doing that,plus the simpsons is terrible at drawing real people

[The Illusive Man]

Their ok at drawing people but it was a good move putting wolfecastle as Schwarzenegger.

[Cloverfield]

Yer, it was very similar and worked well i think.

[The Illusive Man]

Thanks mate

[JetGirl]

i haven't seen the simpsons movie yet, lets leave that talk for the simpsons thread, which i've been avoiding until said movie has been watched

[Cloverfield]

And when are you going to watch it?

[JetGirl]

at this point i might have to wait for it to be released on video, i dont' think it's in theatres anymore. damn my laziness

[hoopymo]

damn the police for shutting down tv links .co.uk

[The Illusive Man]

It's still showing here in the UK, well where i live anyway.

[hoopymo]

same here

in EK

[The Illusive Man]

EK?

[hoopymo]

east kilbride

[JetGirl]

i guess i'll have to make my trip out to UK early then lol
if only i had a REAL planet express ship

[hoopymo]

that u shud

[JetGirl]

i need some dark matter :P

[hoopymo]

and a proffesor

[The Illusive Man]

But you have a Dark Jedi, it's a start

[JetGirl]

Excellent point! :D
now come over and help me with this ship

[The Illusive Man]

Fine

[Pariah]

Spider Pig is over. Drop it you n00bs.

You just got told by Pariah. That will be $20 and your girlfriend. If you don't have one then go play in traffic for my amusement.

[JetGirl]

LOL
you time traveled to the wrong part of the thread. change your dials

[The Illusive Man]

Maybe we can go back to the part in history when Pariah was a baby and make it so he isn't a noob lol

[Pariah]

lol Sorry its the forums deafult post limit in a thread coliding with my own number of post per thread. Does it to me all the time and I guess I forgot to check :P.

Still spiderpig = noob.

[The Illusive Man]

Yes silly Pariah, for not checking

[Pariah]

They should make another model. The "Awesome Express" ship.

[JetGirl]

i was wondering if they were ever planning on making figures of the kids, i'm not too keen on them so i wouldnt' be that unhappy if they decided not to

[The Illusive Man]

The kids might be made, as there featured a bit.

[Pariah]

Even though everyone hates them. I bet the creaters of dumb wit and retard hate them to.

[The Illusive Man]

Good point

[Pariah]

I know.

I would like to see someone create the professor home. That would be awesome.

[The Illusive Man]

That would be cool.

[Pariah]

Yes I know it would. Thats my dream house right there.

[JetGirl]

sort of like how they did the talking simpson playsets? those things rocked. my friend has every single one that came out. along with every single figure

[The Illusive Man]

Hmmm, wonder if playsets would be made for Futurama.

[hoopymo]

depends a new series first then the popularity may convince them to make playsets

[The Illusive Man]

Maybe, playsets are expensive to make so only a few may be made if not at all.

[hoopymo]

how much do they usually cost?

[The Illusive Man]

Don't really know, companies tend not to give stuff out like that.

[H.G. Heather]

I've seen a model of the Planet Express Ship that you put together yourself that's pretty awesome. It's on a stand and everything and looks really great...problem is, the site that has it says it's out of stock. :)

[Spideristic]

Yeah that model kit is ultra rare. I always hoped to get one someday, but after I came across this photo, it's not in my wish list anymore. Cause I realized the nose of the ship is too sharp and narrow when compared to MAC's model (which is more accurate to the series). Of course in spite of that one inaccuracy the model kit still looks pretty good.

Hopefully Toynami or some other die cast model company would make a bigger and more accurate model of the Planet Express ship in the years to come.

[H.G. Heather]

Yeesh...I didn't realize how inaccurate it was.

[Robot's_Best_Friend]

I love how the planet exp ship has an oversbite like everyone in the futurama universe. lol

[KING ZOIDY]

lol

[MarcShinner]

I had My Planet Express ship signed by Lauren Tom at the London Comic Con, holding on to that mofo!
