LEGO Review: Lego Minifigures Series 13 - The Simpsons

I have enjoyed all of the Lego Minifigures Series so far, but I was super excited about Series 13 because it is all Simpsons characters, and I love the show, the movie, the comics, and the Simpsons Tapped Out game.

All of the characters with short-sleeve shirts have painted arms, which is new.

Homer comes with a remote control and a donut. The minifigure is the same shape as a normal one, but the paint detail on the shirt suggests that Homer has a belly. The paint detail on the back of his head does a great job of showing his hairline. They did a good job on the donut. 

Marge's hair is awesome! She comes with a copy of Donut Fancy and a purse. Her red necklace is painted on the torso. Because of the weight of her hair, she can't really stand up without Lego studs holding her up.

Bart's hair is perfect, and the legs are painted so he is wearing shorts. This character isn't holding anything like the other minifigs, but his slingshot is painted on his back of the torso and legs. He also comes with a skateboard. 

I also like the shape of Lisa's head. She is wearing a skirt, which we couldn't seem to get to fit properly. We'll have to figure that out. Her pearls are painted on the front and back of her torso, and she comes with a saxophone. 

Maggie's eyes are cute! She has a red  soother and worn-out teddy bear. She doesn't have legs, but is made to look like she is crawling. It's really neat how her body is just one piece.

Grandpa has lots of detail on his face, including his wrinkles and his glasses. He is holding a newspaper which features a story about him.

Ned's green sweater and mustache are awesome. He also comes with two accessories - an I heart South Paws cup (from his Leftorium?) and a toolbox with "Property of Ned Flanders" painted on it. It might have been funnier if the toolbox had come with Homer!

Milhouse comes with short legs (also wearing shorts). His blue hair and red glasses are a nice touch - the arm of the glasses go all the way to the back of his head. He is holding a comic book.

Apu is also very detailed, including the shape of his hair, his mustache, and his chest hair. They did a good job with his clothing, too. He is holding a squishee. It would have been great if he came with a sign that said, "Thank You. Come again."

Chief Wiggum is wearing a basic police officer uniform, with the details of his badge on the torso and the hand-cuffs on the legs. His hat is attached to his head, and the shape of his nose is perfect. He is holding a baton and a megaphone.

Ralph Wiggum also has short legs, and his belt is painted on his torso. The painted hair detail is great, going all the way around his head. He is holding the Valentine's card for Lisa.

Mr. Burns also has great detail in the shape of his face, hair, and teeth, including age spots on his head. His nose is perfect. He is wearing a business suit, and he is holding a radioactive rod and Blinky, the three-eyed fish.

Nelson's outfit is perfect - he is wearing his usual t-shirt, vest, and shorts. His mullet is awesome! He is carrying a baseball bat - an accessory that Lego would have already had from previous minifigure series.

Krusty the Clown has awesome hair. The painting on his face is perfect, and he is wearing a short-sleeved shirt, blue bow tie, and white gloves. He comes with a pie, of course.

Itchy has great detail in the shape of his face and teeth. It's a little weird that he doesn't have a tail. He is wearing an orange shirt and is holding a club - an accessory that we've seen in other Lego sets. Another option for his accessory would be a chainsaw.

Scratchy also has great detail in his face and head shape, particularly the teeth and tongue that are sticking out. He also has a tail attached to the torso. He is holding an axe - the same one that we saw with the woodcutter in Series 5.

Overall, I think they did a great job with the Simpsons minifigures. Each character's hair and face shape has been captured, and they paid attention to detail when painting on clothing and other features. Lots of the accessories are really cool and suit the characters.

I'm not sure why Itchy and Scratchy were included in the series, since they are not people of Springfield and there were other characters that I would have like to have seen included.

I hope they make another series. If they do, these are the characters I'd like to see:

Comic Book Guy

Sideshow Bob

Snake

Moe

Professor Frink

Smithers

Principal Skinner

Mrs. Krabapple

Groundskeeper Willie

Cletus

Carl

Lenny

Jimbo Jones

Martin Prince

Barney 

Fat Tony
