the simpsons mini figures by kidrobot
Kidrobot's THE SIMPSONS Mini Figures [blogged] goes on sale August 21st and Fugitive Toys has a video up showing the figures (in scale / clever marketing btw) including the 3 CHASE Figures [www].
Available blind-boxed with a SRP of US$7.95-per - The Simpsons mini figures stand 3-inches tall with 27 figures in total - the line-up includes: Homer, Marge, Bart, Lisa, Maggie, Hippie Homer, Mr. Burns, Smithers, Krusty, Sideshow Bob, Scratchy, Itchy, Apu, Fat Tony, Bumblebee Man, Duffman, Chief Wiggum, Barney, Comic Book Guy, Funzo, Lucius Sweet and with the 3 CHASE figures being Devil Flanders, Mojo and Snake.

At the end of the day, regardless of it being "collectible art" or "mass market baby toys" (if online chatter be any indication) - this series (and any other toy merchandize based on Matt Groening's Simpsons) is yet another piece of pop culture in the palm of your hands, and maybe that's what it should be, innit? The difference between each other would be how the final toy looks - either good or utterly bad - which of coz differs from each individual's taste, innit? So what if these figures looked play-doh'd? They look fun to me, IMHO ... As to whether tis US$7.95-worth of fun? = that again is another whole new conversation in another post LOL
