[@kryptonitespider-bitedynam7305]

I can't believe they made a stephen hawking action figure that you could just go out and buy lmao

[@myheartandactionsareutterl9058]

there's not much action involved though

[@xqrsss]

Why?

[@dennisbowen452]

Imagine if you could take him out of his wheelchair but he kept falling down

[@Mr.Monster1313]

Stephen hawking..loved that figure..he had one in his own home lol really..yup.

[@thesugarybear]

I only started collecting a few years back but it hurts to this day to see the Series 17 and 18 pictures

[@MHSNetwork]

And we could’ve had Maude Flanders, Krusty’s Dad, etc

[@starlinyn9292]

I know I want Cecil so bad

[@bigvis497]

Next to Star Wars, World of Springfield may be one of the greatest world-building toylines of all time. Playmates really knew what they were doing back then. So many obscure characters, so many completed "teams" like the Pin Pals, The Mobsters, all of the Springfield Police, etc. We got so many backgrounds, locations and accessories that often contained little in-jokes. They look incredible when displayed together. One of my all-time favorite toy lines.

[@rayvenkman2087]

And if you were one for action figure photography, WoS delivers in the the playset department.

[@unorthdoxcleric6953]

Beautiful to see a huge collection like this.

[@MHSNetwork]

I have Homer, Bart, Lisa (New years versions) Marge and Maggie (normal versions) Skinner, Edna Krabappel, Dr Marvin Monroe, Uter, Sherri and Terri, Comic Book Guy, Patty, Jacques, Sideshow Mel, Snake, Squeaky Voice Teen, Bill and Marty Edit: Thanks for loving the comment! I’m also getting the whole Simpsons Family in there normal clothes!

[@dogmd7]

I loved this line so much. They had so many characters, accessories, and moments represented, it made me happy they covered so much ground as a huge fan of the series. There wasn't much more we could ask for at the time. I had a lot of these figures and playsets that I sold for next to nothing to make ends meet at the time. I wish I still had them but I've moved on collecting wise. Great collection and awesome retrospective! Thanks for covering this line of figure, it really brought me back!

[@BIGBamBam86]

You definitely need more subs. You videos are always top notch

[@FigureCollections]

Thank you! I really appreciate your support!!

[@vxrdrummer]

These figures and play sets look incredible. Some of the best likenesses of any toys to tv show for sure! The first 8 seasons are probably the best programme ever made, of any genre. That's a strong claim of mine there!!! I was 17/18 in 2000/2001, so I wasn't really aware of these toys until now as at the time I was nearly permenantly drunk or in bed.

[@leob4403]

The first atleast 20 seasons I would say, an even stronger claim

[@DafyddBrooks]

Really wish they carried on the series and got some of the other unknown characters. Thanks for putting it altogether :)

[@rayvenkman2087]

In spite of that, it’s still a pretty comprehensive lineup of characters you’d want even with some holes present.

[@JamesLawner]

Only legends remember Burger King’s Simpsons figures.

[@MSalvadorStudios]

those were great quality for being burger king toys i remember collecting all of them

[@JamesLawner]

@@MSalvadorStudios I collected quite a number of them, esp the second series that was made, but unfortunately I lost all of them a long time ago.

[@MSalvadorStudios]

@@JamesLawner same bro i lost them all sadly.

[@Dewaynesite1]

I never knew the Simpson's had so many figures developed.

[@RobiticDuck]

Hey buddy! Nice to see you here. :) I also wasnt aware of these figures, just all of the bootleg Bart stuff.

[@PinataTime]

Wonderful video! I was looking for a video that went over the whole line, quickly, and showing off the talking capability. Also, i had no idea that a 1980's styled collection was released, that's so cool! thanks for making this!

[@mercenaut]

I had every figure, mail-away & playset from WoS & I can remember how I bought each one & also how I would check Target & Toys R Us every week. Looking at those again is almost like hoping a time machine.

[@retrourk]

Loose or on card/in box? If MOC/MIB: How much space took it up? I'm thinking about starting a collection.

[@jangalexisruiz7491]

I started collecting 2 weeks ago I have : Krusty Sideshow Bob Mr.Burns Homer Bart Marge with Maggie Grampa Smithers and a few accessories.

[@leob4403]

What about now?

[@DeadMansMixtape]

Or now?

[@alice-cn2ll]

This gave me so much nostalgia. I don’t know why

[@tangieserene420]

Wow !! 🤗❤️Fantastic video!!! Dream come true to view ALL these Simpson collections. You can see it was A LOT of work to put this together! Very much appreciated!!!

[@FigureCollections]

Thank you, I hope Simpsons/World of Springfield fans feel like their passion was well represented! It was a 6 month adventure from writing to publishing. Thanks for watching!!

[@washedjp1651]

Thanks for making this video! I’ve recently bought a lot of world of Springfield figures from you through eBay. Thanks for making a video showing all of the characters. It really helps out when collecting.

[@FigureCollections]

Super happy to help! And thanks for supporting us on eBay, you’re the best! We don’t have a patreon so checking out the store is the best way to support us :)

[@richardkennedy8481]

I have watched many Simpsons collection videos, this is by far the best. Thanks

[@FigureCollections]

Hey, thank you! I wanted to make something all Simpsons fans could take a little ownership of and be proud! I'm happy you enjoyed it!

[@CrazyPangolinLady]

They released a Lenny without a Carl?

[@NickLogoAbk2913]

Carl was made into a figure

[@juanki_dis]

Awesome video and awesome collection. I hope you can find the missing figures from the line.

[@vadar0521]

The hit and run music is soooooo nostalgic

[@knazzer9934]

I remember having a Bartman figure back in the early 90’s. How did I miss all of these figures 😍

[@ArrestedinmyAvenger]

Awesome video 😎💯👍 I am a HUGE Simpsons collector & this video payed homage to the Collectibles we know and have come to love! Great job 👌

[@Rusoxx]

So many figures, so satisfying

[@VeryBlueberrry]

Amazing!!! Excellent video, really well put together and the content is right up my alley. Oh no; yet another thing I desperately desire to collect. Siiiiighhhh

I never knew I wanted a Squeaky Voiced Teen figure until now.

Thank you so much!! I still have a lot planned for 2021, can't wait to start sharing!

[@deskish3930]

they actually made a steven hawking action figure. the fact that they made an action figure of a real person is pretty wild to me, same with lucy lawless

[@ronjoe17]

I have to wonder why they only did these cheap one-room playsets and never tried to make like a full Simpsons dollhouse or something

[@maris4137]

There was an interview in ToyFare magazine from one of Playmates' executives saying it will not be cost effective and feasible. The amount they will have to charge for the whole house will definitely make it a high-priced and limited item that will result to low sales.

[@girlykyuu1185]

@@maris4137 yeah that makes sense. I think it would be cool to make sets that connected together but I get why they did it like this.

Woah the display at 11:46 looks awesome, did you make it or buy it?

[@FigureCollections]

When all the Kmarts started closing a couple years ago, I went to one and bought their old magazine/book displays. Thats what the displays are. They work really well at retail for toys too!

[@momentsmeanmore]

I remember owning the Chemical Plant Homer set and a Bart figure. Sadly for some reason Homer's figure was missing the talk chip when I opened it. 😢

[@brentandrew2419]

Maybe batteries just needed to be replaced? There was no chip in the figures, the set did it once connected to the feet.

You should do a review of the Family guy playmates figures and sets.

[@FigureCollections]

Just spent the last hour gathering research to see what I would need to make a Playmates Family Guy vid. It looks like they only made one series and one playset?? That's an injustice!! If we were to cover this topic as a guide and historical review, it might only be about a minute long :(

Why was this recommended to me ?, but I'll just except it for now...

[@j.epstein7723]

I feel that if this line made more variations of the main characters that kids mostly know about, this line could've kept going. Still, I'm glad they didnt go that route. I love seeing all the side characters!

[@Miakel]

I had the kwik E Mart and the school. Plus Ned Flanders, Chief Wiggum, Nelson, Krusty, Pin PAL Homer and Skinner and Apu, from the sets
