The Simpsons Series 1

About The Simpsons Series 1

A cartoon town in plastic

This series sits within the Collectible Minifigures theme and was released in a single year, 2014. Rather than the usual mix of unrelated characters, every figure comes from the long-running animated sitcom. The core family is here: Homer Simpson (71005-1, 6 pieces), Marge Simpson (71005-3, 7 pieces), Bart Simpson (71005-2, 7 pieces) and Lisa Simpson (71005-4, 6 pieces). Around them are familiar faces from the show, including Ned Flanders (71005-7), Chief Wiggum (71005-15) and Mr. Burns (71005-16), plus Scratchy (71005-14) from the cartoon-within-the-cartoon.

What each figure is made of

None of the entries goes beyond 7 pieces, so the interest lies in the details rather than the piece count. The Simpsons figures use specially moulded heads and hair that give them the recognisable look of the show, and each one comes with an accessory. The parts list on each set page breaks the figure down piece by piece, which is handy if you are checking a loose figure for completeness or tracking down a missing accessory. For display, the family and their neighbours work well as a group on a shelf, and the catalogue lets you tick off each one as you add it to your collection.
