Premium character to buy

I need suggestions for something to spend my donuts on or continue saving for. I'm looking for either a character + a building or a couple of characters only. I already have:

Frink and lab
Otto and bus
Squeaky voiced teen
and most or all of the ones that were winnable during events, but are now premium (Miss Springfield, Barney, Drederick Tatum).

I don't very often set 1hr tasks, so I'd prefer characters who have 8 or 12hr visible/outdoor tasks. I'm also running out of room in my SF, so if the character has a building I'd prefer it not be too big or only make sense if it takes up a lot of room with parking lots etc. Any suggestions? I'm at 157 donuts, but I'm willing to keep saving if you have a pricier suggestion.

I say get Frink and Otto. Their tasks are awesome. You could still win SVT in a mystery box.

EDIT: You already have frink and otto

    That's how I got SVT. So did a real-world friend of mine.

    Out of the 3 I would say Otto because there's a (small) chance you could win SVT and Frink in a mystery box

    Me too. I got him ages ago shortly after I first started playing. My best mystery boxes were SVT and the lemon tree. (also shortly after I first started playing) I still haven't won donuts in a mystery box though. :?

    I would say Otto as well since the bus doesn't take up a lot of room and is fairly easy to incorporate anywhere in SF. But if you have room Frink and the lab would be good since Frink has a couple of cool outside tasks

    The OP says he already has Frink, Otto, and SVT. If you're looking for good outdoor tasks, I like the Rich Texan (12 hr Ride Mechanical Bull and 24 hr Shoot Guns in Air).
    New neighbors always welcome!

    Since you already have Frink and Otto, I would suggest Jasper and the community center, Luann and the cracker factory, or Disco Stu. They all have a lot going for them. The choice between them would really be about which building appeals to you and which character you like more on the show.

    The OP already has those.

    I say Luann and Cracker Factory or Jasper and Community Center

    Cracker factory adds an 8hr premium task for Kirk

    Jasper has 3 outdoor tasks
    1h
    4h
    12h

    Luann has 3 outdoor tasks also i believe
    12h
    16h
    24h

    You were clear, I dont know how the others got confused.

    right now, im hoping to save enough for some of the yard sale stuff. Bear in mind, premium stuff aint going anywhere, but the yard sale is limited. Cool brown house has a homer skin, most of his tasks are visual. 120 is the same as otto, so maybe he's a good shout.

    Thanks. What are their outdoor tasks? And how long are they?

    Read the op fast thought you were listing what you were considering. So what don't you have that you're considering ?

    Not enough coffee this morning=confusion.....sorry

    Both Luann and Jasper have some hilaious outdoor tasks, if space is at a premium, then the community centre is a better choice

    Good question. I'm considering Jasper, Luanne, and the rich Texan that posters have recommended. I was also considering Kearny, Moleman, and Lugash. I don't know their tasks though.

    I don't have any of those characters. But from what I've seen from neighbors that do have them Rich Texan, Jasper and Moleman all seem to have some good visual tasks.

    Personally I would recommend Disco Stu, Sideshow Mel and Dr Nick if you don't have them.

    I've seen so many people regret getting Lugash, so I don't recommend him.
    I think Kearney only had one visual task, to dance a jig. Don't recall seeing any others.

    There's a Tapped Out wiki that lists character tasks and whether they're visual. It's an outside link so I can't technically post it, but a quick Google search should get you there.
