When are we getting a Phil Hartman voiced character?

I will laugh if Lionel Hutz is the L50 update.

In the two years I've been here I notice this topic crops up every couple of months or so and it doesn't surprise me. Troy McClure and Hutz are always mentioned in top simpsons character list. Marge vs the Monorail and A Fish Called Selma are listed as so of the best episodes bother feature Hartman and when you ask people who they want in this game and naturally they show up there. I would love to see them at some point level 50 would be a great idea but the only people that know if they will appear are EA we just have to sit and wait.

Lionel Hutz and Troy McClure are NOT characters-with-Phil-Hartman's-voice-added They are Phil-Hartman's-voice-with-characters-added.
His VOICE made us laugh. Try watching one of those episodes with the sound off. Ptui. It would be a crying shame to put out the characters without his voice.

Totally my own personal opinion, of course.

So sad what happenend to Phil RIP. He was going to have his own show show as Troy that whould have been awsome

Any true fan of Hartman would want the characters to remain retired since they were done so out of respect for him. I'm not so selfish to think that TSTO should put them in simply because I want them to.

that is silly. I think it would honor him to showcase his beloved character's. I think shutting his characters away is akin to sweeping his work under the carpet and pretending that he did not exist. His life and work should be celebrated, not hidden.

I agree 100%. I can't speak for Phil Hartman's family, and I realize it is easy for me to say something like this, but if I had an actor family member who did unbelievably good voices on The Simpsons and died, I would be in favor of anything that would memorialize him, including putting him in TSTO with old voice clips.

Maybe I'm off my rocker here, but Phil Hartman and his wife did have two children... and they are both in their 20's now. And least one of them is active on social media. ok i'll stop. this game has much bigger priorities

No argument here, there is only a handful of celebrities who got the honor of voicing multiple characters and each of those were highly praised by the staff during the commentaries for the shows featuring them...but with him, they considered him family.

As much as I LOVE his characters and I'd LOVE to see them in the game, I wouldn't like it if they were voiced. That would be kind of creepy and, in a way, disrespectful.

My niece always loved the movie Neverending Story. Always made me smile every time I heard that title. Her mom (my sister) never saw the Simpsons episode i was laughing about, and I tried to describe the scene, but of course it fell completely flat without the voice of Lionel Hutz.

it's pretty obvious that the dolls were in production prior to Hartman's death

I think that if Hutz or McClure were on sale right now i'd buy them without a second hesitation 8)
