Bare Metal Bender includes a lit stogie ( cigar ) and a can. You can even open and close Bender's chest door to stash his accessories or anything else that needs stashing. You can change Bender's expression by rotating his antenna. Just don't try to do that on the real bender.

This ain't for kids; a robot that smokes ciggies and guzzles booze!     Posted 15 February 2008 There. Politically incorrect diatribe aside, this isn't for kids.
When I got mine, and upon removing the packaging of my lovable rascal, there was this funky smell and Bender had a slick feel to the case. So I'd advise washing it, and your hands, before really winding him up.
Bender is reasonably well built, and at 9" is a terrific size. And the reflective version has grown on me (I bought both reflective and matte versions.)
Best of all, he's educational because, when people ask, I say "He's the lovable rascal from 'Futurama', a show written by a bunch of folks with PhDs!"
Not a bad price, but wash or burn (and/or get high from the smell)...
bender robot     Posted 01 January 2008 Very cute, but not very durable. One of the latches broke when we first played with it. Not good for a child's toy, but any adult fan of Futurama would probably enjoy having this.
