Hey, Coffin Stuffers — Bender Sold His Body for Booze Money Again
However, this time, his head is full of DVDs — including all four seasons of Futurama, plus the four DVD movies, for a total of 20 discs. You’re looking at the special Bender head packaging, which was sent to me by sharp-witted TR reader Kelly S. Right now, you can pre-order it for $120 over at Amazon — which seems a little pricey to me, even though the four movies run $20 each — but whatever. I imagine the bigger sticking point is that now they’ve annunced 26 new episodes to air on Comedy Central, this thing is automatically incomplete. Still, it has a snazzy Bender head, and that alone is probably worth hocking your body for. After all, bodies are for hookers and fat people.
