The Simpsons - Jakks Pacific Figures

These are already looking far more promising than Super7 and I’m guessing Jakks will charge far less.

We’re getting the family in a pack plus some side characters and variants. Also some environment pieces and props.

Nice. Fingers crossed. Those Super7 looked great but the prices kept me away.

looks cheap, S7 had a premium feel

Looks a lot like the old Playmates designs. I already have all those

Eh.. Super7 looked premium and had a premium price for sure but they had some issues with loose joints and whatnot.

i dont own any to be honest, I am waiting for my king size homer and the aliens. The Simpsons franchise is a disappointment to the collectors, stuff is normally really cheap with few exceptions like Lego and S7. From these pics the Moe's (lifesize?) phone looks like nice prop, the rest is uninteresting to me. Beast Kingdom is building some terrific statues somewhat accessible but no Simpsons yet

​

Jakks did figures from The Super Mario Bros. Movie. Those figures seemed decent enough. I would guess that their lineup for The Simpsons will be close in quality. I’ll try to get most of the first wave and for sure the family box set.

Interested

Until you get them in hand and notice all the paint slop they don't show you in the renders.

These look 30 years old.

From FB, spotted at Target

$12.99 single figures

I picked up Homer the other day from Target, would've gotten Bart too but the eyes were painted horribly.

I wonder if they'll have the balls to make an Apu ...

The Super 7 figures were alright, but they were probably $15 too expensive, took forever to release, and some of the character choices were just baffling (radioactive man? Drederick Tatum?). The line probably would have done better if they would have started off by releasing the family in their usual clothes and then moved on to other variants. I ended picking up the deep space homer on sale, couldn't bring myself to pay $55 for it.

Wow, I kind of forgot about these for a bit. $12.99 is a great price. Going to have to check for them next time I’m out.

Ordered Moe’s phone and the Krusty doll from Target online yesterday and got them today.

My Target only had Homer and Bart for the single figures. They also had family set (smaller scale) and the living room set and the plushies. Looked at Walmart to see if they had any but no go. I’d like the whole wave ideally.

Made it back to Target and got just Homer for now. For the price and a basic figure I think it’s decent. More bare bones for accessories but what he comes with (donut box and one removable donut) work for him.

My opinion is I’d buy a ton of these over the Super7 releases. Those were nice but the price was too high and the character selection was just far too random.

Love that Jakks is doing characters in their primary looks and that they gave us two family members right off the bat.

Grabbed the Jakks Bart last night. Again pretty happy with the figure. For $12.99 plus tax it’s hard to complain much. Still was unable to find Otto, Willie, or any of the deluxe figures.
