Hey guys i'm new here. Been a pin owner for 5 or so years now strange s ience was first then came a whirlwind n lastly a who dunnit. Just wondering what everyone would think about a futurama pin. I guess im just a fan n thought maybe some others would be to. There would be a wealth of story lines to pull from. i don't know just saw some similar talk on a couple other themes recently. Anyone else agree or am i on my own on this one.

I think it would be a fun pin. I guess someone already made a custom one.

Quoted from Sunfox:
I'd purchase a Futurama pin sight unseen.
Plus 2 on that. And I know for a fact that our very own nimblepin is harassing the powers that be about it for at least the last year. Pat Lawlor where are you?
More like TWO years... 
Here was the original... (at least from this site. 
)

C'mon Stern! Maybe by Christmastime?!?!?
Or perhaps maybe my other suggestion???
Just in time for Halloween 2012!

I would jump on it in an instant! Please listen Stern and JJP!! While I love the other shows, Simpsons, Family Guy ect. Futurama is far and above the best. So many great one liners. This one pops into my head: "That's the saltest thing I have ever eaten, and I once ate a whole bowl of salt!" P Fry.
Wow, Evan did a wonderful job there. Way above my skill set.
As far a not enough broad appeal, I guess I just don't think Stern is trying to hit too broad of market. Tron, yes there was a new movie and the fans of the original are probably in the target demographic, but I guess making a pin based on a movie would be similar to a pin based on a TV show, ie Family Guy, Wheel of Fortune.
add me to that list tooI'd purchase a Futurama pin sight unseen.
As much as I think I would never buy a sight unseen pin, this might make me change my mind.

Quoted from jar155:
I think Futurama would be a great pinball machine, but its time has passed for the majority of its fans. It's not viable any longer as a license for pinball, but yeah, it would be a good theme.
...as opposed to ACDC and WOZ? I know what you're saying, though.
Well, those two are fairly "timeless" in comparison. I personally am not too hot on either WoZ or AC/DC as themes personally, but I know worldwide they still have a strong enough pull.
I'm just upset that we never got our Ghostbusters pin.
Quoted from davewtf:
i'd like a ren & stimpy pin
ohhhhh yea! just think of the "log" mod
Futurama's still going. They did their movies, they did 2 entirely new seasons, and there's still another 2 seasons to come. If it's not "big enough" for Stern or JJP, we'll just have to get Jpop to do it.
