A couple months ago I randomly saw an episode of Futurama, Season 5, Episode 6 "Less than Hero", wherein the main characters don superhero outfits as the New Justice Team of New New York. This episode was notable for me because (1) as much as I'm a fan of (the vast majority of) Matt Groening's work, I've only seen about 10 episodes of Futurama in my entire life. And (2) I loved Leela's Clobberella design. I liked the obvious nod to Barbarella with the name, and I was drawn to the costume parallels to Electra Woman from the Electric Company. Even Clobberella's weird rolling pin emblem is bizarrely similar to Electra Woman's "EW" logo. I decided to check if there had ever been a toy made for this costume, fully expecting to find nothing, but surprise surprise, all three heroes (Captain Yesterday and Super King as well) got figures in the 2009 Toynami line. I snagged her on eBay before the episode was over. She's essentially a statue, but she's really fun. Let's check out Clobberella below!
Clobberella comes with the arms for the Robot Santa Build-a-Bot.
Clobberella's only articulation are her arms which have swivel joints at the shoulders.
Time for a Comparison Pic!
Cheers!
