Past Kitchenware Re-Issued

Simpsons News — Posted 31 Aug, 2004 by MrBurns

Hey hey collectors, some very cool news for those looking for some classic, yet new, kitchen ware. We found these at our local Entertainment Gallery and found out the scoop on these products. Seems they were released a while back in the early 90's. So many fake ones were produced that Fox discontinued these until now. The kitchenware available includes the Bart yellow coffee mug (above), Homer cereal bowl and saucer, Bart blue coffee mug and saucer (seen above) and another yellow saucer for the mug shown, and a basic mug which was sold out before we got a chance to see it. Prices on these range from $18-30 each depending on what you want where the basic mug is $18 and the cereal w/saucer is $30. Main thing to look for is the COA on the bottom of each item which has the Fox seal and the Groening signature.. all other are fake.
