I think Zapp was in the same Series as Leela; that would be Series 3, and there are only two figures per series anyways. As I said, I found Leela for cheap online, and that's because she was on sale... together with Zapp. So I picked up both of them.
Zapp comes on a similar box as Leela and Fry, but it's customised for him, of course. It's less flashy than Leela's or Fry's and he seems a lot less attractive in that box somehow.
Zapp does come with a whole lot of stuff though, including the arms of the Robot Devil. There's also Nixon's head and a podium of some sort. Zapp only has 3 points of articulation - shoulders and neck. The bent elbows is not articulated and is pre-posed in place. One good thing about the articulation points are that they are cleverly hidden. The head sculpt has a Simpson-esque look to it with the big eyes and the wide grin and is well done.
Apparently Zapp doesn't wear pants underneath his tunic. I think that's cartoon accurate too...
The podium is plain, but it does have a nice looking crest on the front and a cartoony microphone on the top. Nixon's head is encapsulated in the head jar with his plaque beneath. I don't think it resembles the real life Nixon, but it probably does resemble the cartoon portrayal of the character instead. The glass of the jar is even given a blue wash to represent liquid in the jar!
Zapp's basically a glorified piece of plastic. His poses are limited and he's rather boring as a figure. I guess he's display bait, and like Leela, he's only good when he's standing up.
