I think the Simpsons will do well with afols. Kids, not so much

Did anyone catch the national news yesterday that a major character is going to be killed off? The only clue they gave is that is a character that is voiced by an emmy award winner.........by my calculations that narrows it down to 13 possibilities lol

Oh wow, that's helps a whole lot. NOT!

Not related to your post, Stephen. I just happened to remember this April Fools Day prank of Bart yesterday.

Some of these figures will be so easy to smoosh with those giant heads.

Love the heads, but the bodies need work.  Homer needs a pot belly if he's not going to have a shirt.

And Lego says new molds for parts is expensive. Jeeze, I can hardly imagine just how many new ones they had to create for those 'bobble heads' alone. Man, those are some big noggins, and what the heck is with those outfits? Going for the Mad Max look with Road Warrior apparel? Those heads may be 'official' but those bodies aren't.

Haha bobble heads were the first thing I thought of when I first saw them. I haven't watched the Simpsons in a long time so I'm not sure if those were outfits in the show.

I found some vids on youtube that are showing the simpsons minifigs

look like a custom hope'****** they will be better then that

yea, why would homer be topless?

Homer definitely needs to be fat... Fat and wearing a shirt.

The only minifigure that I can think of with the same size cranium is General Ackbar.

Extra credit for using cranium instead of head!!!

...not really all that big of news but I did find the following interesting...

"Lego is reportedly set to release a collection much like the Olympic minifigures. It'll feature series 13 blind-bag minifigures, with 16 Simpsons characters total. Some of the characters include Homer, Marge, Bart, Lisa, Apu, Chief Wiggum, Moe, Itchy and Scratchy. Expect a release sometime in May 2014."
 

I personally think that is a brilliant idea.  (I don't like it as a collector but as a investor I think it's cool.)

EDIT:  On kind of a side note, you may remember the graphic when you look at this link.  I remember it from last year...  They made the TMNT...They made the Simpsons....think this is a prediction for other sets that are in the works?

We already knew this (http://community.brickpicker.com/topic/5037-the-simpsons-coming-to-a-lego-store-near-you/?hl=simpsons, http://community.brickpicker.com/topic/5007-the-simpsons-in-lego-for-2014/page-8?hl=simpsons), but thanks for sharing that interesting photo. It's surprising how recognizable they are despite being so simple. For those who don't want to open another tab:

I know we knew it was coming out but I wasn't sure if we had a date or if we knew they were releasing the figures in the minibags.    I wasn't going to read the entire thread to find out if it was there and it didn't show up when I searched.  If it's been shared before...well I'll share it again for those who didn't see it, like myself, the first time.  

If a mod wants to merge this go ahead...

 

As for the picture...I assumed THAT was the thing everyone had already seen...

I don't recognize the black and yellow shirted figures... Who are they?

it says in the article, never heard of them either

Not sure about the top right and left but the rest are instantly recognizable. Neither of those two look like Asterix and Obelix (this roman/bandit warrior cartoon thing - not a bad kids comic actually).

Looking forward to it.

Isn't the top left Donald Duck and his 3 nephews? That's what it looks like to me.

Now that you mention it... yes it does. Nice!

is it a series 13 or just a theme like Olympic?

I believe its been said to be series 13 not a teamGB thing. but that does get me thinking will we see the same thing for the next olympics
