So I couldn't get pictures, but saw prototypes of the following at Toy Fair... Mom, Farnsworth, and Hermes.

Up to the standard of what Toynami has released so far.

Woo-hoo!
Is Mom in her fatsuit or her unitard? |

Both. I couldn't tell if it was two variants, or one figure with two pieces. Hopefully some other site will have better info/pics on that.

Figures.com has some pics up: http://toyfair09.figures.com/showgallery.php?cat=573
Looks like the next two waves, after Amy and Clobberella, are: http://toyfair09.figures..../showphoto.php?photo=1572 Hermes Mom Farnsworth Chef Bender Roberto Build-a-Bot!! Here's a shot of all four protos: http://toyfair09.figures..../showphoto.php?photo=1578 |

Excellent news! Completing the crew is outstanding - here's hoping that they get the orders and these make it out. I was very worried we wouldn't get
there after they were passed over in Waves 4-6 (initially) but felt they got the message when they added Amy. And Mom was my next choice after Hermes and
Farnsworth.
Any word if Roberto is only 4 parts, so he is completed by these four figures? That would make sense given his size but wanted to check... Don't need Chef Bender, but could use the Spice Weasel Chef if the line continues now. Morbo and Lrr would be nice, as would a Hypnotoad. (Hypnotoad strikes me as a perfect con exclusive). I would also like a Globetrotter... May be the best news out of ToyFair this year for me... |

GOOD NEWS EVERYONE!
I am so glad we are getting Mom, Hermes and Farnsworth. I would rather have had the previously announced Lrr instead of Chef Bender, but at this point I am thrilled just to be able to complete the Planet Express Crew. If it will take 6 to complete Roberto like the other waves, my votes for the last 2 would be for Lrr and Scruffy. I'll be happy if this is all we ever get, but I'd love one wave after that, with Morbo, Wernstrom, Flexo, Donbot, Clamps and Joey Mousepad, with a buildable URL. Seems unlikely we'd get a wave without variants though, so I'd be happy to spread those across 2 waves with variants like spacesuit Fry, young Farnsworth, wooden Bender, and military Fry, Bender and Leela. Also, as Con exclusives or whatever, I hope they make the rest of the alternate universe variants.

I don't know if it's the angle of the photo or not but Hermes looks a little too bug-eyed.

Zoidberg and Fry just sold for 160 on ebay! Hopefully this means demand for the line is high enough to get all these (and hopefully more) produced.

On Big Bad Toy Store's website, it says Amy and Cloberella have been pushed back to May.

Hopefully we'll get a SDCC exclusive, maybe another parallel universe variant.

I hope we get an exclusive there as well. Particularly one we aren't likely to see in the regular series. I was thinking the blue backwoods country hyper
chicken or maybe a Lrr and Nydunda (I tried my best with spelling) two-pack since they would need to be bigger than the normal packages to be in scale.

Looks like Fry and Bender are getting a reissue sans build-a-bot pieces: http://www.bigbadtoystore.com/bbts/product.aspx?product=TOY10343&mode=retail
Odd that Zoidburg isn't being rereleased. |

Darn. I was hoping they would overhaul Fry. His ultra-jointed body doesn't fit in with the rest of the series.
