Playmates continues to release wave after wave of action figures of The Simpsons. Use this guide to find out which ones are worth shelling out for so far. These figures were chosen based on the creativity and usefulness of their accessories, as well as the quality of their likenesses.
1. Waylon Smithers, Series 2
The inside joke about Waylon Smithers continues with this great representation of the character. He comes with a to-do checklist, and a framed photo of Mr. Burns.
2. Barney Gumble, Series 2
With his belly hanging out of his shirt, this Barney is a must-have action figure. His accessories are a sandwich and a mug of beer. Not surprisingly, he says, "Wow, I need a drink."3. Lisa Simpson, Series 1
She comes with a stack of books, her saxophone, and Snowball II. This Series I figure can sell for $45.00.4. Chief Wiggum, Series 2
Wiggum can use his night stick, a cup of coffee, or a donut with sprinkles. I love it when he says, "That's nice work boys."5. Grampa Simpson, Series 1
His jaw is hanging open, like the many times he's fallen asleep mid-sentence. His accessories are reading glasses, magnifying glass and a newspaper. They could have picked some better quotes, but his "When I was young, toys were built to last!" would be typical.6. Milhouse Van Houten, Series 3
Make him drink a Squishee, eat an ice cream cone, or talk on his walkie-talkie.7. Moe the Bartender, Series 3
He's ready to serve up some Duff in his spiffy apron, with mug of beer, a telephone (for those prank calls,) and bar cloth. Moe typically utters, "Aw, for crying out loud."8. Krusty the Clown, Series 1
Krusty looks like he's hosting the opening of his show. He comes with a slew of accessories, including a box of Krusty O's (labeled "Flesh-Eating Bacteria in Every Box,") Krusty Fries, a Krusty Shake with straw, a Krusty Burger clamshell sandwich container, and a camcorder.9. Mr. Burns, Series 1
Whether he's looking for a place to ditch Blinky, the three-eyed fish, or a place to hide his stacks of cash, this figure's sly expression works well.10. Ned Flanders, Series 2
Saying a hearty, "Evenin' neighbor," Flander is ready to preach or host a BBQ with his Bible, a chef's hat with "Bishop of BBQ" printed on it, and a spatula.
