Keep your head warm and in a Sci-Fi state of mind all winter long with these Futurama Knit Hats.

Found over at Think Geek, these toques show that its not too late to start thinking about which Futurama character best describes you, and what kind of creature you might be if the future turned out the way it does in the cartoon show. You might be Bender, the [mischievous robot](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/brooklyn-ninenine) who cares little for the plight of humanity and always gets up to trouble, or you might be Nibbler, the [adorable drooling pooch](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cloudheads) who is always found in the arms of the attractive Leela.

Both of these Futurama Knit Hats have a plush, 3D construction with little antennas sticking out and bulging eyeballs as well.
