Homer Tin Action Toy = Best Toy Ever

My roommate came home today with a present for me. It was the Homer wind-up tin action toy, which I hadn't actually seen yet...so I was quite surprised (please, no replies telling me how long it's been out and expressing your disbelief at how I didn't know about it...I never buy Simpsons paraphernalia...mostly because I never have money, I just admire it when I happen to see it in a store). It has a little metal key to wind him with and he walks and drinks a Duff...it's great. I would never have spent the money on it for myself though...so I'm glad she did :)

She also gave me a bumper sticker that says "Shit, Fuck, Damn, Piss, Hell"...but that's off topic.

So....howzabout giving us the info on who makes it, etc?

Link below for a look at it. You can get a dancing Homer too (about 14" tall), push a button and he sings and dances. Better than the wind-up for laughs.

There's is about $5 cheaper than mine was...though with shipping I guess it evens out.

Thanks!

Oh, sorry...I wasn't sure if it was old news. It's made by Rocket USA, http://www.rocketusa.com Mine came from a local store that sells all kinds of stuff. It was about $25 and comes in a cool nostalgic looking display box. I went to the website and they also make a Krusty-in-the-box which looks real cool and some other Simpsons stuff. They also have Futurama stuff. On the website they have a form you can fill out and they'll email you the location of a store near you that sells their products or you can buy them online at http://www.universalfun.com

If you like toys, I'd suggest either of the following for excellent product and the best service you'll ever find:

www.newforcecomics.com and/or www.bigbadtoystore.com

Cool, I'll check them out. I just posted that one link for where to buy the tin figure because Rocket USA had a banner for them, I didn't look for any other online place to buy them. I'm more of an actual toy store guy anyway because I like to look and touch, but I hardly ever buy.

Lucky you. ;-)

I'm OCD (obsessive compulsive disorder) when it comes to toys ;-), so I like to preorder by the case of everything they make for Simpsons. Always fun to try and explain those bills to the wife. 8-o
