In a depart from 'art toys' (nothing new for Kidrobot, some might say), the Simpsons figures that they are producing seem to have caused quite a stir. It seems that everyone wants to get a piece of the Simpsons action (Toy2r, Kidrobot etc), which somewhat confuses me. I love watching the Simpsons, and have since I was at school. However, much like south park, as merchandise i can't help feeling it's done!
Whilst these are cute, I don't get it, and for some KR fans it seems that they feel these toys go against the companyâs ethos. I guess if you donât like them just donât buy them is the answer. And if the Kidrobot crew have major love for Matt Groening then you can't blame them wanting to work with him.
I recommend you have a read of Paul's blog, where he attempts to justify the company's decision to produce these figures, its a good read.
