Guide Review - The Simpsons Series 6 Action Figures

The Simpsons Series 6 action figures are a lot of fun. Each one comes with very approriate accessories for the character. And each one works with a variety of "The Simpsons" playsets or environments.

When the action figures are popped into a compatible playset, the character will say quotes from the show that are appropriate to that room or environment.

Mascot Homer works with just about every playset Playmates made for World of Springfield. He's wearing his Isotopes mascot uniform, cape and backwards hat included.

The chuckling Dr. Hibbert works with the church, Simpson's kitchen, Springfield Retirement Castle, Main Street, doctor's office and Moe's Tavern playsets.

Carl is compatiable with the Springfield Nuclear Power Plant, Barney's Bowl-A-Rama, Simpson's kitchen, Main Street and Moe's Tavern playsets.

Professor Frink only works with the Noiseland Arcade, Springfield DMV and Main Street environments.

Bleeding Gums Murphy is compatible with the church, Simpson's kitchen and Main Street playsets.

Snake can talk in the Noiseland Arcade, Krusty Burger, police station, Main Street, doctor's office, courtroom and Moe's Tavern playsets. Seems like he should be compatible with more, no?

Regardless of how many of these you own, any number of combinations of figures and playsets is really fun.
