questions about new figures

                    2002 Wave 2
                    Stonecutter Homer
                    Duffman
                    Cletus
                    Hank Scorpio
                    Fat Tony
-------------->The Mmmyessssss Guy (He is packaged as
                    Costington`s sale clerk but I didn`t know if anyone
                    knew who that was)
                    Lou w/Police station
                    Handsome Moe w/ Moe`s Tavern

is he that sarcastic store clerk?

another question: why are they making figures of people that have only been in one episode? like hank scorpio, jaques, handsome moe, obese homer, mascot homer, and all the other variations of already existing figures. they should make all the main characters first, then start selling the single episode guys and the variation characters. just my opinion.

no. furthermore, why is playmates producing this figure? casual buyers aren't going to touch it. but you know what? "sarcastic store clerk" would sell very well.

a better question would be: why is playmates even producing the "yeeeeeesssssss?" guy figure?

wait, i already asked that.

would you complain if frank grimes came out before, say, patty?

i'm hoping playmates re-releases ralph wiggum with the leprechaun as an accessory. like hillbillies wanting to be called sons-of-the-soil, i know it ain't gonna happen, but...

so who is the mmmyesssss guy?

He has made two appearances:

1) Homer is Mayor Quimby's bodyguard (Mayored to the Mob (#AABF05)), at the
dinner theatre Homer asks the waiter if he has a seat for the Mayor:
Homer:    Uh, excuse me.
Usher:    [bizarre, sycophantic voice] Yeeeees?
Homer:    Do you have a table for the mayor?
Usher:    Yeeees!
Homer:    Why do you talk that way?
Usher:    I had a strooooooke!
-- Or he listened to the Jack Benny show too many times,
   "Mayored to the Mob"

2) Homer vs. Dignity (#CABF04), When Homer has all the money Burns has given him, he takes it to Costington's Dept. Store, and tells the guy he wants to buy all the toys in the store: Homer: Is this enough dirty, dirty money? Yeeees Guy: Why it most certainly is!!! (Dials phone) Yeeees Guy: Hello, Mr Costington? You won't believe what just happened... mmno. mmno, mmmYEeeeeessssss!!!!!

i've seen every episode multiple times and that character has left no lasting impression on me. why in the hell would he be a figure? i would buy him if they made him, though, i'm trying to get the entire collection.

Well, that's why they made him: because there are people out there who will buy any figure they make in hopes of having a compltete set.

I'm still holding out for an Amy Wong figure.

Well, for some I can see... Hank Scorpio, for instance... He is one of my favourite characters, and I know there are some people that will agree. I'd buy him before I'd buy some regular characters. In fact, he's easily in the top five characters I'd get:

• Homer
• Moe
• Mr Burns
• Hank
• Duffman or CBG
