Read the new issue of Toy Fare yesterday and they had a section on the new wave of Simpsons figures, and that it is going to have celebrities as part of it (they normally do a seperate series) Well there is probably 10 or 12 of them, so I'm thinking that if they keep that up, sooner or later, they will have to do an Al figure. So we will finally get one, though he'll be yellow.
Well, I dunno. I've seen Playmates' list of figures for next year. Not very smart choices for a line that needs to be purchased by more than just die-hard Simpsons fans. If the whole line isn't completely dead by 2004, I'd be very surprised.
But yes, an Al "Simpsons" figure is another reason why I'm hoping he has a meatier part than what we've been led to believe so far.
If not, one would think someone would have made a Weird Al action figure by now anyway. I once posed the question to a product director at Palisades (who makes the totally awesome Muppet Show figures), and they were under the impression that Weird Al is still just that nutty guy from 1980's.
We need to start edumacatin' everybody, dag nabbit!
