Simpsons Series 2 Minifigures finally announced.

While most of the lego blogosphere is super excited for the first official pics of the Kwik-E-Mart, I'm more excited for the image of the new 16 minifigures that will be featured in the second series of Simpson blind packs.

Here are the minifigures included in the Kwik-E-Mart set ($199)

Minifigure Spotlight Simpsons Series - Scratchy

I got to visit a Lego store down in Bellvue, Washington around New Years.  I picked up a couple great sets that will eventually be featured and they also had Simpsons blind packs on sale so I picked up a couple.  I didn't take time to feel out the contents, but since I only had one other figure from the series I figured it was worth a shot.  One of those figures was this great Scratchy minifigure.  I think Lego did a great job on these figures.  The head molds are fantastic.

Minifigure Spotlight - Simpsons Series - Milhouse

I finally found some Simpson minifigures the other day.  The big news was that these cost a buck more than the last series. We'll have to see if the price goes back down when Series 12 comes out later this year.

Anyways I only grabbed one pack so I wasn't worried about who I got and didn't feel up any of the packs.

I probably should have since Milhouse was pretty low on the list.  I will most likely pick up the rest of the series if I can find it later.  

I will say the head is very well done and from what I've seen the rest of the series is just as good.

Milhouse comes with a Biclops comic book, and if you remember almost destroyed the comic book store with his huge order.

Simpson Minifigure Series

Lego sent out this picture a few days ago showing the 16 new Simpson Minifigures that will be in blind packs due out the end of April, first part of May to coincide with the May 4th Simpsons episode that is Lego themed.

Here's the checklist. I'll update it when I know the official numbering and they'll be added to my Minifigures Series page.

1. Itchy
2, Scratch
3 Krusty
4. Milhouse
5. Marge
6. Apu
7. Chief Wiggum
8. Ralph
9. Grampa
10. Nelson
11, Lisa
12. Homer
13 Bart
14. Mr Burns
15. Maggie
16. Ned Flanders

I'm a little disappointed that there's not one of the more obscure characters from the Series, but who knows maybe we'll get more than one series for the Simpsons.

Lego to buy Blocko Blocks! or Lego in the works on licensing the Simpsons

I saw a small post over at the Brothers Brick and then I heard a blurb on NPR on the way to work this morning.  Appartently we can expect a deal sometime soon and Simpson based playsets and mini's to follow.  Probably a decade overdue, but as a big fan of the Simpsons I say bring it on.
