This Line of Toys from Kidrobot Features The Simpsons Characters
Ady Floyd — August 21, 2015 — Life-Stages
Kidrobot teamed up with artist Ron English and painter Kenny Scharf to design these new vinyl figurines of The Simpsons. Each of the small figures is adorned with a massive smile that not only shows the character's teeth, but it actually reveals a portion of their skulls as well.
This line of vinyl figurines includes two different characters, one of Homer Simpson and one of Bart Simpson. The characters have been cleverly renamed Bart Grin and Homer Grin. These titles emphasize the massive smiles that look appealing, yet highlight each character's inner bone structure in an eerie way.
The figurines are about three inches tall and make a quirky piece of home decor for cartoons fans. The small figures are set to be released online and in stores in December of this year.
