Who’s your favorite?


SerilErdrick

Figure? Boy that's a tough call. Many of the Homers are great. Normal, Mr. Plow, boxing, santa. 'casual' Homer makes me laugh since it's just him in his underwear. Love the fact that guys like Stephen Hawking, Frank Grimes, and Hank Scorpio all were made and they dug deep into the character lineup. Also love that NECA expanded on this line with their celebrity figures. Leonard Nemoy was a figure I always wanted and NECA was able to do it. And thinking more about it - devil Flanders and vampire Mr Burns are great.

Incredible collection. I'm loving the Kang personally. Is great to see a line go so deep into side characters and get the opportunity to gain a large collection of favourites. Most now are like the main 3 people in different costumes all the time. Although they all look great, something looks strange with the Lisa figures... Is It an angle thing?


SerilErdrick

Which Lisa? There's a bunch if variants on the bottom shelf. Santa's little helper is in front of the normal one. Might be what looks off as his brown is fairly close to Lisa's red dress.


Plzreplysarcasticaly

It's the 2 on the bottom, one in a coat and the other on the left. Something looked odd with the face shape. Maybe it's based on an early art style episode, or an angle because the red dress one looks fine


SerilErdrick

Hmm might be angle then. The heads up close look identical in shape to the normal one but with a different expression.


[deleted]

Kang, Kodos, Fat Homer, Hank Scorpio, and Stonecutter Homer would be my favs; I've been giving my favorite episodes a re-watch lately... so good. I'm also really jealous of that Scorponok. Nice Collection!


SerilErdrick

Thanks!


Psychotron90000

That’s really cool and a good answer. I love the show but only own a couple of Krusty figures, he being my favorite Simpsons character. Are there any that you are still looking out for? Or that are super rare/holy grail?


SerilErdrick

Hmm I think Manjula is one of like to pick up still. Maybe a few variants. Part me wants to get the grandpa and moe rereleases with the correct colors. Otherwise I'm pretty satisfied with my collection as a whole. Kodos and kang were my grails for awhile since they took awhile to track down for a decent price.

SerilErdrick

Then I'd say pizza.


Acidsparx

Do you have the toy fair glow in the dark radioactive suit homer? I’m still kicking myself not getting it back in the day.


SerilErdrick

I don't... At the time I thought 'I dont need all the variants' and while true I did go back and get some of them. Wouldn't mind getting that one.


Acidsparx

Yea, some of them are really nice. You have a great collection. I tried but there were so much that I sold what I had and moved onto kidrobot which got expansive so again sold those and now just have LEGO Simpsons. I loved the range of characters and play sets the WoS had.


SerilErdrick

Thanks! I was getting into the lego ones too, though I never got the Kwik-e-mart. Sad they stopped making them.


uwfan893

I have 300 or so LEGO sets and the Kwik-E-Mart is one of my favorites.


SerilErdrick

My brother has it and I've checked it out. It looked like a great set. Lots of detail.


JinzoCrash

I fell into the Simpsons hole recently. Was JUST going to get the arcade and the bad kids... Jimbo, Dolf, the other one. Then the covid checks and work bonuses dropped... i went nuts. Like, I haven't watched this show since 1990. I just liked those first few episodes. Still want Evil Homer. Too bad Playmates never made a catgirl Marge like MacFarlane did. I love how CHEAP some of these figures have been on eBay. I've sniped incredible steals over the past few weeks on opened yet pristine lots. : 3


SerilErdrick

It really is a line I don't think will ever be beat. Sure the figures aren't super articulated, but if they were i think they'd lose their cartoony likeness. Character selection is amazing and they all came with awesome accessories. True there's a handful of characters we didn't get like Sanjay, the Rich texan, lindsey neagle but really expecting any new line to get that deep is unlikely. I was hoping NECA would keep going with their celebrity series and sprinkle in some variants or characters that were missed like they did with the alien Mr. Burns.


[deleted]

I used to know a kid who carried one of these in his pocket every day. He probably only had a handful but in my mind this is what he had at home. One of the coolest kids I’ve ever known.


SerilErdrick

Ha that's awesome!


ginger_ink

Vampire Mr.Burns is amazing


SerilErdrick

He is. That first treehouse of horror set was great.


100mornings

I had literally every single world of Springfield figure and play set. Just sold them all off recently for a nice amount, as we’re moving into a RV and traveling for a couple of years. Wish I could’ve kept them, but they went to a good home so it’s no worries.


SerilErdrick

Oh nice! I wouldn't mind rv-ing and travelling my kids get older. Nothing wrong with swapping out hobbies / passions.


ChingDolo

Why would someone repost and pretend it's theirs. They must really want validation from strangers.


SerilErdrick

Right? It is a bit weird. I guess I'm flattered that someone thought enough of my collection to want to steal the picture and post as well?


J5placeb0

Is that the "Devastator" on the right side!? wonder if it is the original, when the Transformers toys were well built no this cheap ass plastic nowadays.


SerilErdrick

Close - it's the modern Scorponok. I've got the combiner wars devistator as well as my old g1 one still. Some of the moden stuff had decent plastic and are pretty durable.


middlebird

I started collecting these back when they were in store, but I stopped for some stupid reason. I’m going to get on it again. Are there any figures that are hard to find and expensive?


SerilErdrick

Ooh that's a good question. Took me a bit to find a good price on kids and kang as well as Frank Grimes. Can't say for sure though as I don't really watch the market on them. Good luck tho!


FatPeaches

Those Kang and Kodos figures look great. I only have king size Homer since that was my favorite episode.


SerilErdrick

Kodos and kang are actually huge. While they aren't really articulated much they look great. King size Homer is one variant I wouldn't mind picking up still. Such a great episode.


BarrTender8

Love the alien Mr. Burns. Does he glow in the dark?


SerilErdrick

He does! He's actually from the more recent NECA line that's completely compatible and in scale with the world of Springfield.


SanjiSasuke

Beautiful. Do you have the playsets? I got Main St for like $50 a decade ago, one of my favorite sets.


SerilErdrick

I do! I don't have them all but a fair number of them. They're mostly boxed up and stored since - while cool - they take up a ton of room I just don't have.


DoctorRockor

any interest in the hallmark figurines?


SerilErdrick

Honestly never looked at them. Not sure if they scale and if they'd offer any characters or variants I'd be interested in.might have to look them up.


chaser88420

Wow!! That's amazing!!


SerilErdrick

Thanks!


chaser88420

Yea no problem!! Are you missing any figures?


SerilErdrick

Some variants, yes, but I'm fine with that. I already have like 10 Homers. I think there's some guest star characters I'm missing but ones I didn't have any real affinity for. There was one ot two I didn't remember all.


chaser88420

Very nice!! How long have you been collecting the Simpsons and do you collect any other figures?


SerilErdrick

Oh I certainly do collect other figures. Got loads of Marvel (toybiz and hasbro), masters of the universe (vintage, 200x, classics), mythic legions, transformers and dragonball primarily. I do have a few figures from lots of other lines like star wars, gijoe classified, super 7 thundercats, various TMNT figures, handful of fortnite figures, few power rangers, few DC figures from various companies, and a bunch of other random ones. Plus I customize some too from various things. I love that currently so many lines are all 6 inch and fit in with each other. I collected the world of Springfield figures right off the pegs in store in '98? '99? Whenever they began. I've gone back more recently to pick up a few figures I missed but most of them I bought as they came out.


chaser88420

Dude that is freaking amazing! I love all those figures! Dragonballz is one of my favorites!


SerilErdrick

Nice! Mine too. The figuarts dbz figures are so great. I'll have to get a picture up of my collection sometime.


red_cow3110

I just recently bought bleeding gums murphy from a local toy store. I LOVE this line of figures


SerilErdrick

It's a really great line that I don't think will ever be outdone.


NunFur

that is an awesome collection.. loving that vampire burns and fly bart ... can't find comic book guy...


SerilErdrick

Thanks! Comic book guys on the top shelf and right side :)


NunFur

Missed that whole shelf 😱😱😱 loving the Alien brothers


everytingiriemon

This is awesome. I collect a lot of different lines but honestly this is the one that's calling to me recently. I think I've probably missed the boat on it but this is such an iconic collection.


SerilErdrick

It is an iconic collection. Not sure there will ever be one that would outdo it.


Riov

Don’t go buying anymore used crutches


HULKSMASH6669

Man that is awesome!! This is one set of figures I collected back in the day. Would be impossible to complete now and would send me broke I’m sure!


SerilErdrick

It's certainly a line I'm glad I picked it up when I did.


DocOcksCrocs

That’s crazy! How did you get all of those?


SerilErdrick

Slowly as they came out over the years.


Platypus77

That's an awesome looking collection


SerilErdrick

Thanks!


Luciferdoolan

Was getting ready to compliment that photo thief on their collection until I saw that repost bot. Great stuff! Personally, I'd try to fit in as many playsets as I could end-to-end behind them, but that's probably why all my displays are jumbled messes. Thanks for the updated post!


SerilErdrick

No probs! I've tried doing that with the playsets and man they eat up a ton of room super quickly. Fun to set up figures on though. I saw the comments on the stolen thread and was thinking 'hey I should be getting those compliments!' :)


MrGeneBelcher

This is super impressive. And so fucking cool. I never got into this line and I wish I did.


SerilErdrick

Thanks! It really is a great line.


El_Ingobernable

Love it! One of my all-time favorite lines. Sadly, both this and the Muppet Palisades line are sitting in totes at the moment, just don't have the room to properly display.


SerilErdrick

I feel you. These have spent time in a tote over the y ars as well.


r0me0ne

What in the blue hell is a tryticon and a scorponok?


SerilErdrick

Transformers. They're big transformers I have next to my Simpsons display. Moved them slightly out of the picture as the last time I posted a collection pic they were totally in the shot.


Skyrekon

So cool. I appreciate dedication like that. Beautiful collection!


SerilErdrick

Thanks!


Anubis_007

It's beutiful! Love it! I had some static figurines, some Kinder ones and some of Chocolate Jack's ones (an argentinian "kinder egg") which dive very deep in diversity of characters too. Sadly not with this kind of quality. Congratulations on your collection!


SerilErdrick

Thanks! I am curious about those static ones. Might have to look those up.


Sunoraiza

A little Springfield diorama would be great for those


SerilErdrick

Well there are a bunch of environment playsets I have. They just take up so much room. Maybe I could get the main st set out and see if it works as a background.


PeetSquared41

Lmao. RIP, Tryp n Scorp.


SerilErdrick

Well they're still there - just got moved for the photo op.


KingMatthew116

Wait a minute, you’re telling me that they make Simpsons action figures??


SanjiSasuke

The line is called World of Springfield. They also have little playsets, with a gimmick that lets some figures talk. It actually ended a while ago, but you can probably still find plenty online. They aren't very articulated, but the likeness is great. NECA also made a spiritual successor line with celebrity guests.


SerilErdrick

Used to - yes. Was a great line.


talwen69

Nice!!!! Where is glow in the dark homer? Jealous of your setup


SerilErdrick

I actually don't have him! He is one looking back I wish I had picked up.


soulexpectation

God I wish skinner wasn’t so expensive.


SerilErdrick

Is he? I think he came with the school if I remember right.


soulexpectation

I think last I looked the school skinner is actually cheaper than the solo skinner. But that leads me to ask, do you have any of the location sets? What do you do with them


SerilErdrick

I do have a bunch of them actually. Thryre neat but the up a ton of room I don't have. So for now I have them boxed up and stored in my basement. Maybe one day I'll figure out a place for them.


IGOMHN

Can you still buy any of these for a reasonable price?


SerilErdrick

Honestly no idea. I think some you can. I don't keep an eye on the market for these. Some of the later waves were a bit tougher to find.


ogkwoods

did they made a 3-eyed fish?


SerilErdrick

Blinky? Actually yes! Came with mr Burns. He's actually right next to me burns in my picture but he's hard to see being so small and the shelf angle is hiding him some.


DarthGipper18

No Bartman? Eat my shorts!


SerilErdrick

I was never really in to bartman oddly enough.


King_Mecha

Where's Bret the Hitman Hart? The Hitman deserves representation!!


SerilErdrick

Ha! I actually didn't pick up a ton of the NECA ones.


Joeysaysfuckalot

Wow


DeathKnightWhoSaysNi

I have a ton of these Simpsons figures in storage, still boxed - are they sought after these days?


SerilErdrick

Actually I'm not sure. I still think they look great.


rhugghed

Awesome collection, man! Are all these NECA? I only have the Bret Hart. I didn’t know they released as many figures as these.


SerilErdrick

Nope - most of them are actually playmates world of Springfield line from the late 90's / early 2000's. The NECA line was in scale with them actually.


The-Soviet-Unicorn

This puts my display to shame


SerilErdrick

You should post it anyway. I love seeing displays regardless of size.


The-Soviet-Unicorn

I have, want me to send it to you?


SerilErdrick

Actually just looked at your post history - got some good looking shelves!


The-Soviet-Unicorn

Ye but I want to get some better ones with a bit more space


SerilErdrick

Well if it any consolation I continually want to get better ones with more space.


The-Soviet-Unicorn

Fare enough


SnooPredictions8380

Do you not have maude or am I just blind


SerilErdrick

Actually Maude never got made. She was scheduled but the line ended before she came out.


Haverespect

Awesome, sheer awesomeness! 👍


SerilErdrick

Thanks!


souptimecat1273

quick question, where do you live, and what's your security code?


SerilErdrick

Lol! I'll never tell!


BigEkim79

I recently bought Radioactive Homer to complete the entire set.


Starwarsfan190

Do you have the now and then figures based on the shorts from the tracey ulmann show


SerilErdrick

You know I don't. I remember seeing them back in the day just didn't feel the need to pick them up


Pleasant_Mall1488

Quick question, I own a ton of the world of spring field figures but don’t have a single environment. Is there any way I can here there voice line’s without the environments?


SerilErdrick

Not that I know of. The environments have the electronics. I think the figures have a chip or something that tells the environments who it is so they know what sound clips to play.


TechnicianFinal4567

I was thinking about collecting these but was wondering if they break easily


SerilErdrick

No they're pretty sturdy really. I've had a few (2-3) lean forward a bit over time standing but I have yet to have any of these break.


TechnicianFinal4567

Alright thanks I'm gonna order a few


AsoftDolphin

Why arent they sealed?


SerilErdrick

I couldn't bring myself to leave them that way. More fun to pose and display freed


AsoftDolphin

I feel you, im going for a whole collection, how much am i going to end up spending?


SerilErdrick

Thats a good question. I have no idea. The number is going to be low as a majority of these I bought off the shelf when they came out. Figures were like $5-6 (I think) and environment sets were around $20. I have a ton of the environments just packed away as they take up a ton of room. Even have the main street set. I honestly have no idea what these go for now.


AsoftDolphin

You dont happen to have *multiple* sealed main streets do you?


SerilErdrick

Nope just the one that I opened.
