I don't (though I am now enthusiastically looking); but Bender Bending Rodriguez is such a simple shape that it should be easy enough to kitbash/sculpt him in 28mm. The only trick would be making him 40% zinc, 40% dolomite, 40% titanium and 60% storage space...

..I'm sure this came up before...  
..anyway.
best I've found aside from the aforementioned now OOP piece is perhaps the Robot Legion models from Hydra minis

I think Armorcast may treat is as a 'show exclusive' to avoid legal problems.

Someone did one as a limited edition during a convention some time ago (armorcast or brigade games?)
There is one at shapeways that can be made into various materials
http://www.shapeways.com/model/104885/
it's about 33mm tall from the description (I assume that includes his antenna)
Check the comments below for the small amount of feedback. I've ordered a few things from shapeways. My impressions range from impressive to bleh.

Are they sending you one?
I theoretically have two: I bought a 'Folder' from ArmorCast back in 2010, and another this year. The first one disappeared during a rapid relocation of my hobby area due to my basement flooding and has not, as of yet, reappeared. Otherwise, if I had two I'd have tried to send you one.  I also got Folder's friend Stabby this year!
