1990 The Simpsons, Mattel

The Simpsons toy license was under Mattel 20 years ago as of this video. There are other videos on looking at an individual figure or the Boob Tube & Sofa.
In this video I will be looking at ALL 7 of the Mattel Simpsons figures and the Boob Tube & Sofa, plus some extra info.

[@shutterbug_713]

I love it when Bart's points got caught in Mattel's insignia at 6:16.

[@RazHolly]

Heck yes! I love that they noticed how Bart’s hair matches the zig-zags on the logo

[@ricardothegamer123isback2]

13:45 I thought one of the speech bubbles was going to be DO'H

[@RazHolly]

Yes! But for some reason back then, they didn’t think it was a staple of Homer’s I guess

[@SecretOfMonkeyIsland784]

12:58 - The Homer figure's helmet does come with a hole in it to fit the speech bubble (I have one), if yours does not it must be due to there being a later release or country specific variant.

[@RazHolly]

Thank you for the clarification :)

[@ClassicSonicSatAm]

The "play friendly everyone" was also a line Marge said in the arcade game too, during the intro animation and ingame when she teams up with another family member

[@RazHolly]

Great find! Thank you!!

[@andremarc1275]

Homer, Mr Burns, Skinner and Ned Flanders are my favorite characters

[@RiderOrigin]

Great look at the line! Never knew about these and can definitely see the appeal to them. That Spanish you pointed out when talking about the Argentinian Barts is Castellano- the type of Spanish that is spoken in Spain but also in other countries (mostly South America). I tend to consider it as a more formal type of Spanish than what most people are accustomed to knowing. If you ever hear it being spoken, you could immediately differentiate it from "Mexican" Spanish. Rant aside, I think the vid turned out great after you talked about wanting to make it during your monthly update videos :)

[@RazHolly]

Yeah, it’s like there’s a few words I never seen like “vos” and “sos” I put in a lot of love into this video. I use so many lines from this show that it’s become everyday vocabulary at work and home. My texts are filled with “No Problemo” but I can’t remember if it’s from Homer or the T-800. I’m glad you liked it, even with it’s long run time :D

[@ScarysReviews]

these figures are amazing. O K, Lisa went commando. And that same thing happened with the Stephanie McMahon figure.

[@RazHolly]

@@ScarysReviews hahahaha! I remember that

[@joshuasanimeedits7422]

Yesterday I found the Bart Simpson bendy toy in Big lots there were lots of them

[@JeffTheFutureJaros]

Man, this was an awesome video, I loved the Simpsons from the time they came out as a kid, but for some weird reason, I don't remember having any of the figures from this line, Now you have me wanting to collect this whole set. I can't wait to get started on it & get my hands on these. Great vid again, I love the Simpsons!

[@RazHolly]

Thank you :D It’s an easy set to collect even carded. One day I’ll have those Argentina figures. I found more photos of them and they kinda look like bootlegs. I also made custom sayings for these, but I cut that part out because I would have to work on it for another day, and I was already getting tired of looking for footage and what not

[@JeffTheFutureJaros]

I am so collecting these man, and you did a great job, looking forward to more my friend.

[@RazHolly]

Awesome!!! I just gotta grab a few things before moving on

[@johnstickwood2813]

I love the Simmons show

[@michaelmalkowski4703]

Simpsons you mean.

[@LuTheTeller]

Me too

[@pivotalpancake5454]

You mean the Samzonadzes

[@celinaaleyda3911]

​@@pivotalpancake5454no its "The Samsungs"

[@SecretOfMonkeyIsland784]

This figure line is relatively unknown but i owned Bart, Bartman and the BoobTube set as a kid. However the bonus is the figures are cheap to buy, generally below £10 a figure or below £40 for carded. The only problem is i tend to find they are often sold as a complete set (All figures) rather than individual and if you see them individual they are missing parts. Some eBays are also overpricing them thinking the line is as popular as MOTU, Thundercats, StarWars, Turtles etc so the figures never sell.

[@RazHolly]

Yes! For reals! I’ve been trying to get a second set and it’s the same as those more popular figures.

[@E10Kguy]

I love how you made a refrence to “magaggie” lol, love the vid

[@RazHolly]

Thank you for noticing :D I tried to put random little Simpsons things all over this video

[@thisseriesiscancelled739]

Poor Lisa. Her and Homer always get the bad merch.

[@chunkbox1973]

Great video! Could you tell me which were the FIRST release? The Mattel or the Jesco bendable figures? I am doing research for the first releases of action figure lines and characters. Thank you for your help.

[@arielconde6275]

Great review! There's another Argentina "exclusive variant". The Argentinian Bartman has the same head as Bart with the smile instead of the closed mouth (just like Superbart and the Ninjas).

[@RazHolly]

Ooooh!

[@tycondrius23]

this takes me back . I had the couch (no boobtube as a picked it up in a jumblesale or yardsale as ye call them) had homer and my buddy had nelson . never had anyone else from the line as they disappeared from shelves quick. I did end up with a scuffed up Bartman many moons later tho. and they do seem better then the playmates one. I do wonder if that wave 2 stuff mighta got released overseas . I know the Tyco racing Crash dummy line was pretty much only available in Europe maybe the same thing happened to simpsons wave 2 ?

[@RazHolly]

Hmmmm probably, but there’s been no known photos of those besides the two I showed. Crash Test Dummies are totally on my list of toy lines to review. I love that line!!

[@rudebwoy3416]

‘This episode is on Disney plus

[@Thomas-lr3pp]

I have a mattel bartman for some reason. Missing all the accessories including the cape though.

[@Peskyhooligan]

7:35 gonna send this part to my friend without any context

[@shutterbug_713]

I like Nelson! He would say Ha-ha! 2 Biff from Back To The Future Part II, when he ended up in manure! ESPECIALLY since that auto repairman said he would NOT serve him again!

[@nathanhorne1]

I purchased a replacement bart a while ago, and he has a softer head than the other ones in my figure. Did some of them have 'softer' heads and some 'harder' soft heads?

[@superkneppirdk7149]

The bear is actually a reference to the episode call of the Simpsons

[@_The_Worst_]

Shame the line didn't continue...😕💯✔️

[@shutterbug_713]

13:30 Why is Bart all green?

[@RazHolly]

In that episode, Bart had an accident in science class in a fancy genius school. He turned green and Homer was washing him in turpentine. Then he confesses that he cheated and got into the genius school. So of course Homer got upset and chased him

[@someguy-ep3rs]

i own homer's helmet their is 2 versions of it a one without a hole and one with a hole and that's the one i own

[@alejandrobernardo9829]

I'm from Argentina and i used to have the super bart figure incomplete

[@superbersyt]

The voice you do when youre talking about the reproduction market stuff sounds like you could do a solid Fat Tony impression. "Fine, I'll put my 'Yard Trimmings' in a trash compactor" Lou: "uh chief I think that was a dead body in there" Chief Wiggins: "Yeah I thought so too- until he said 'yard trimmings' you gotta learn to listen Lou"

[@RazHolly]

Hahaha!!!! I can see that!!!🤣🤣🤣
