OT - World of Springfield action figures

I have (almost) all the figures and sets from that line, never opened them, sitting in rubbermaid containers in my basement. I have "toyed" (pun intended) with the idea of opening the Kang and Kodos set, but have never actually gone through with it.

I think I gave up when I couldnt find the Deep Space Homer figure, I wanted that one more than any of the others. Plus I figure it probably looked weird to have a grown man hitting up the toy aisle at Toys R Us so often. ;)

Oh I couldn't help opening mine, specifically so I could display them all together. Also, when I got my first ones, the line had just started (an ex girlfriend bought me a Bart and Homer figure she found at--I think--a store at Universal Studios). I was a long time Simpsons fan and she knew I'd freak when I got them, which I did. Anyway I did a little research online about them and found out Series 2 had just been released, so I went to a few local stores over the next few weeks to pick up the remaining Series 1 and 2 figures I needed. I did that up until around Series 5, then realized I could just order them online or through EBay and probably save money on gas and lots of time. So I did that all the way through Series 16 (the last wave), and all the exclusive figures and sets. I only ended up getting 2 out of the 4 Treehouse of Horror sets since the others were just variant figures of main characters I already had. Kang and Kodos were my favorites, though. God those were awesome.

It's one of my favorite action figure lines. I have them all except for the Jebediah Springfield playset.

That was the last item I bought (since it was the last I needed). I'm pretty sure I took these pics right after receiving the Series 16 figures, but hadn't gotten the play set yet (the Jebediah set).

I think the Jebediah was unreleased. That and the Town Square were scheduled to come out when they decided to discontinue the line

I have a decent-sized chunk of this line.
My favorite of the ones I own is Devil Flanders. Too bad I'll never have him in game because I'm on Android. (tablet and phone)

The Jebediah set was released. It mostly went to Amazon but at the time, I didn't expect that that would be the only outlet for it.

Yeah, it was definitely released but I think in much smaller quantities compared to the previous playsets. You can find them online, but they're pricey.
