As one of the chief apologists for All Things Clone, as well as a major
Simpsons fan, I formally pronounce these toys to be an abomination. They
are bad bad bad, in terms of design and (visual) execution, although I don't
care to purchase the $28 set to judge the plastic quality. All should avoid
these, unless you're an irredeemable fanboy and need to acquire every last
piece Simpsons merchandise.
Dave!
