Jack and punxdude with some nice fanart!
by JavieR / June 30, 2009 / 23:52
Time for me to show some new Futurama love from the fanas all around the world. I'm gonna start with punxdude, his fanart features Nibbler vs. Domo (holding a Bender doll).. a very interesting and kinda funny parody (if you can call it that way =P)

Fry and Bender: We're Back Baby by JackPlease let me welcome a new fanartist around here, he is Jack, and I must say that his Futurama images are great. I've added 3 new images today, all of them made in traditional watercolor. The fanarts feature infant Fry playing with a Planet Express starship, Morbo talking on TV about his Valentine date, and the one featured here.. Fry and Bender happy because Futurama is back once again!

Y2W and MissusPatches with new stuff!
by JavieR / June 28, 2009 / 16:46
Hi, sorry for the late update, I've been lazy really, so no excuses this time. I've some nice fanart for you to enjoy today. First, 2 new images created by MissusPatches featuring both the Human Robot Devil (also known as the Human Beelzebot).

The Nimbus by Y2WThe second artist today is Y2W. Two new neat images await for you. The first one is a security camera video where you can see Amy and Leela kinda naked doing I don't know what, and the second one features The Nimbus (The ship commanded by Zapp Brannigan) with the particular and neat style of Y2W, so please take a look!

I've to go now, but I'll add more stuff in the very near future, and more info about the return of Futurama on Comedy Central in 2010.

Preorder the Futurama Complete Collection DVD Box 1999 - 2009!
by JavieR / June 24, 2009 / 10:31
Futurama Complete Collection DVD Box (4 Seasons + 4 Movies) - Preorder now at Amazon!Amazon.com has deleted the Futurama Complete Collection item, hopefully this is just temporal. Any info is welcome, just write it in the contact page.

Oh my, this is awesome. The Futurama Complete Collection DVD Box is finally available for Preorder at Amazon for $118,99 (and if the price drops, but you preorder now, you'll get the lower price!). The Box includes all the 4 Futurama seasons (15 DVDs) that aired since 1999 to 2003 + the 4 DVD movies from 2007 to 2009 (Bender's Big Score, The Beast With A Billion Backs, Bender's Game, Into the Wild Green Yonder).. making a total of 19 DVDs.

The Box is very nice, features Bender's head inside a head-in-a-jar.. jar, funny, because Bender doesn't need one (geek comment, I know..). According to the description, is a "[..] limited edition collectible Bender Head with a numbered letter from Matt Groening and David X. Cohen" , it looks like Bender Head is printed in that special material that looks like a 3D object, but is not, in all the vertical faces of the Box.. or it could be a real Bender Head with all the discs inside, like the Family Guy Total World Domination Collection with Dewie's Head.

There's not a release date yet, but I'm sure that this box is an Essential Collection Item for all the fans that didn't get the Seasons and DVD Movies separately or if you are a die-hard Futurama Fan, so what are you waiting for, preorder it now!

SDCC 2009 exclusive Toynami Futurama figures, Universe 1 Fry and Leela
by JavieR / June 22, 2009 / 17:13
Universe 1 Fry and Leela Toynami exclusives in the San Diego Comic Con 2009Thanks to a post by deanobot from the KidRobot.com Forum, it seems that the next exclusive Futurama Toynami figures in the Next San Diego Comic Con are Universe 1 Fry and Universe 1 Leela, both limited to 2,000 pcs.

This is great news in one way because we already have the exclusive Universe 1 figures of Glorious Golden Bender (SDCC exclusive, 2006) and Blue Zoidberg (ToyFare exclusive, 2007) ..so if you have those two (I only have the Blue Zoidberg) you can add more Futurama Universe 1 figures to your collection.

Toynami had a clever idea.. they are repainting the original Fry and Leela figures of course, but by doing that, they don't have to sculpt new figures (that makes them cheaper to create).. regardless that move, it makes you wanna have them because is part of the alternate Universe 1 exclusive collection.

I don't like the acessories though, because those are also the same than the original ones, according to the preview. Leela 1 should have a Diamond Scrunchie and Fry 1 perhaps something else, but not the holophone again (maybe some Bachelor Chow!). Please don't forget to check the original KidRobot.com post.

Beeju and mr35mm with new Fan stuff!
by JavieR / June 21, 2009 / 10:40
Hi, and thanks for waiting. I've some nice stuff for you today, thanks to the Futurama fan artists. First, I've added 2 new images created by Beeju, this time featuring fry fighting the worms from the episode, Parasites Lost.. one is a sketch like a charcoal drawing, the other is the colored version in an aquarelle style.

Would you like to do it now? (Fry and Amy) by mr35mmThe other artist today coming back is mr35mm, with a new image about the episode Put your Head on my Shoulder (featured today).. with Fry, Amy a mad Leela and an indifferent Bender! Is a very intersting fanart with a very funny situation that i really recommend you to check out, the image is called "Would you like to do it now?".

Interesting, Futurama airs on MTV
by JavieR / June 16, 2009 / 22:44
Futurama airs on MTV!Well, this is kinda interesting. Thanks to David Lauff that saw Futurama on MTV today. According to the MTV schedule, you will be able to see 2 Futurama episodes from Monday to Friday in the 4:00 pm and 4:30 pm time slots (Futurama started airing on MTV this Monday, June 16, 2009).

Futurama is also still airing on Comedy Central from Monday to Friday in different slots each day (check the full Futurama on Comedy Central schedule) and the slots of course, do not mix with the ones of MTV.

Now, let's see some facts:
  • Viacom owns MTV and Comedy Central, so Futurama can be on both channels (perhaps part of the negotiation with FOX)
  • Futurama will get more exposure, making it more popular, the kind of promotion that the series really deserves
  • More time slots and more channels means new fans will appear in order to receive the new Futurama Season 6 in 2010
  • Some of the Comedy Central series do appear on MTV in other countries or regions (For example, South Park appears on MTV Latin America, because there's no Comedy Central over here)
  • Perhaps they are just filling an empty slot for the moment.. but Futurama is alive fellows.
So, I think is an interesting move from Viacom and FOX (because Viacom is doing what FOX was supossed to do back in 1999-2003, promote the show a lot more). Even when I know many people that don't watch MTV a lot (including me) you have to understand that Futurama on MTV is better than Futurama nowhere. So, if you can watch Futurama on both channels, do it, and spread the word!

The Fan Stuff keeps coming!
by JavieR / June 16, 2009 / 19:35
Hello again everyone. I've been working in some inprovements for TFP, but there's a dely because of my work (and extra freelance work too), but today is time for a new update. There's always neat fanart for you over here, and today I've some of it created by Hiwi. She created three images featuring her favorite characters, Ignar and Larry (the 2 youngest Mom's sons) and one also featuring Walt.. so please visit her gallery and check them out.

Fry and Leela by supercluster-hongThe other artist today created her fanart long time ago (aroung mid 2007), but she is new over here, her name is supercluster-hong, she's from South Korea, and I've added two images made by her, one featuring Zapp Brannigan and kif Kroker, and the other Leela and Fry in an interesting drawing.. and both have a different but very nice style.

In other news, Twitter is malfunctioning today, so there you go David X Cohen, now you and the other writers can have fun with it!

Fanart + Futurama new Season ideas
by JavieR / June 14, 2009 / 23:09
Still trilled because Futurama is back? So am I, that's why I've been searching the web a lot about Futurama, and I found an article from Underwire (from Wired.com) where they talk about some of the ideas that could be added in the future Futurama Season 6.

The ideas that David X Cohen has, are about the new tecnologies that we have now (and the geek stuff used today), compared with the start of the series in 1999: "I keep thinking of the insidious possibilities of the iPhone [..] Or the sinister possibilities of Twitter, and so forth". He also says that there's at least one "shocking sexual relationship" in the future episodes. For more info please visit the original underwire article.

Leela attacks a muck leach by Mike Jessen (Kaspired)Since I always add news backwards, is time for some new fanart by the talented Mike Jessen (Kaspired) with 7 new images that feature varied characters.. Leela in a sexy gym outfit, a cool art trade with Wolich22 portrait, 3 girls (Leela, Amy and LaBarbara), another Keeler Crater image featuring Amy, Leela, Marge, Edna Krabappel and LaBarbara topless (but backwards).. Leela, Fry and Bender using masks (referring to the AH1N1), another sexy plane art featuring Amy this time, and finally a pic of Leela attacking the muck leech from Into the Wild Green Yonder movie (featured today). Enjoy!
