Australia.<\/p>\n<p>Series 13 is an entirely <em>Simpsons<\/em> themed collection of characters, 16 in total, including Homer, Marge, Bart, Lisa, Maggie as well as some side characters like Apu, Itchy &amp; Scratchy and Ralph.\u00a0 I get the feeling that this range will be <em>extremely<\/em> popular and could easily lead to further dedicated minifig sets including themed variations of the family (e.g. Bartman) as well as some other beloved <em>Simpsons<\/em> characters that didn&#8217;t make the cut.\u00a0 Surely there&#8217;s demand out there for Lego versions of Groundskeeper Willie, Moe, Hans Moleman and Principal Skinner?<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.thefatwebsite.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/simpsonsminifigs.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\"

<em>Simpsons<\/em> theme seems like such a guaranteed recipe for success its a wonder it hasn&#8217;t been done sooner.<\/p>\n<p>The first couple of packs I bought yielded Homer (with donut and tv remote accessories) and Milhouse (w\/ Bi-clops comic).\u00a0 They look pretty decent and I&#8217;m happy both the quality of the rubber mould headpieces and how naturally they fit onto the otherwise traditional Lego minifig body.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m looking forward to collecting the whole set but I anticipate it&#8217;ll be much harder due to the popularity of <em>The Simpsons<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p
