Any fan of Futurama will probably be shocked to see the Baby Bender. It's cute and it doesn't appear to want to verbally assault anyone who gets in its way.
The adorable Baby Bender is a take on one of Futurama's most beloved characters. The difference? Well, everything is the same except for the fact that he looks shockingly friendly. Mostly Nerdy Crochet have decided to shrink down Bender into an infant to make him a little more approachable. Of course, that doesn't mean his attitude doesn't remain. Look at his hands and you'll notice a bottle of Mexican beer clutched graciously under a metal clasp hand. If you've ever doubted that Bender has a soft side, this crochet doll will prove you otherwise.
