As 2008 comes to a close, CGEF and Toynami Inc. would like to ask Futurama fans a simple question: Who do you want to play with in 2009? Don't be a pervert, we want to know what would be a killer new action figure in the line of toys Toynami has been releasing as of late.
In the vain of all things Toynami, let me remind you that Captain Yesterday Fry, Nudar, Calculon, and Super King Bender are now available at Entertainment Earth for only $27.99 in pairs of two. Each of the four figures come with a component that is necessary to put together Evil Robot Santa. Perfect Holiday gift? I think so. I managed to get my sweaty paws on the Captain Yesterday Fri and Nudar and I have to say these figures are pure quality. Some of the best toys I've obtained in a while.
Below is a poll I've put together that lists numerous characters that could potentially make it into the next line of figures Toynami puts out. Now is the time to voice your opinion and let us know what YOU, the fan, want next year! If your favorite character isn't listed in the poll, head over to PEEL right away and part-take in a great discussion we have going on right now about future Toynami toys!
I love Bender, you love Bender, we all love Bender. And unless you've been under a rock for the last few weeks (which is possible, I suppose), you know all about the awesome new Futurama DVD movie "Bender's Game" that was recently released not too long ago. However, I ask the question, do all your friends know about the DVD?
ILoveBender.com, in association with Fox Entertainment, has posted a mighty attractive Widget on their website for the release of "Bender's Game" which can be placed on your Myspace page, Facebook profile, and numerous other HTML-based websites to help promote the new DVD. What makes this widget stand out from all the rest is it's hilarious tool to morph your favorite Futurama characters into an entirely new character (hint: morph Leela and Zoidberg... you won't be disappointed).
What are you waiting for? Click "Grab It" on the Widget below and copy/paste the HTML to each of your profiles all over the internet! Send me an email with the link to your profile and I'll randomly select one winner to win a copy of "Bender's Game" just in time for the holidays. Email your entries to enjoyaslurm[AT]gmail[dot]com with the subject line "CGEF Widget Contest". The contest is only open to US residents, and you must have your parents permission if you are under 18.
For those who still don't have the DVD: The second Futurama Movie "Beast with a Billion Backs" will be on TV tonight at 8PM on Comedy Central.
In addition, 'EZ-52' told me that UK fans might want to switch on their telly next Sunday when Futurama "makes a much anticipated television return on Sunday 26th October at 7.30pm only on Sky1". Not yet exactly sure what they are showing.
As was noted on our forum "PEEL", the fourth Futurama movie "Into the Wild Green Yonder" is set for a UK release on February 23rd, 2009. Going by the international release policy for the upcoming "Bender's Game", the US release of "Into the Wild Green Yonder" should be around that time, too.
As you probably know, November 4th 2008 is a big day for the US - the day that the third Futurama Movie "Bender's Game" is going to be released on DVD and BluRay. For me, November 4th was a few days ago. FOX send me a pre-release screener copy of the next Futurama incarnation so that I could tell you what you are waiting for.
Slashfilm blog poster David Chen scored an 18 minutes phone interview with Futurama director Rich Moore. They talk some about how Futurama got started, a tiny bit about where Futurama is going with the new movie Bender's Game and then on what projects Rich is going to be working during the next few years:
After having moved CGEF to a new server last month, our affiliated Futurama forum PEEL followed suit last weekend. In addition to switching to the new, faster server, the old forum software from the year 2000 ("4 million lines of BASIC") was finally upgraded to something modern.
The third Futurama Movie "Bender's Game" has been added to amazon's database and is up for preordering at $19.99. It will be released on November 4th, 2008. At the same time, a Blu-Ray version of Bender's Game will be available for $27.95.
