For those who miss Futurama, check out the adorable Futurama Mini Figure Set that pays homage to the hilarious cult-hit cartoon.
I know "adorable" isn't usually the word associated with a booze-chugging, foul-mouthed robot, the devil and a squid who releases ink from its armpits, but the Futurama Mini Figure Set might change your mind. The collection shrinks down Bender, the Devil Robot and Dr. Zoidberg into cute little playthings that have huge smiles on their faces. Though this is quite an unusual image for the cartoon, it's surprisingly nice to see.
There's no word on when the three-pack collection is going to be released, but it's suppose to be sometime this month. Lucky for you, the figures are available for pre-order now at Entertainment Earth.
