Hey fans, you can now find your favorite cat and mouse team in bendable format. NJ Corce, the creators of the past Bendable sets, have released Itchy & Scratchy bendable figure packs are well as smaller versions of each character as a bendable keychain.

After the Fox network debuted "The Simpsons" in 1990, critics of the program about a middle-aged American couple with three children deemed it profane and said children shouldn't watch. Stefan Jagoe, a retired Paducah police officer and now youth minister at Grace Episcopal Church, saw something else — a religious undertone. He's now using "Simpsons" episodes as a Bible study tool for 8-10 youths ranging in age from 6th through 12th grade.
He says 69 percent of the episodes contain at least one religious reference, with 11 percent centering on a religious issue. Read More....

Hey fans, some news circulating about the Playmates Toys World of Springfield series sets. It has been reported that Playmates' license with Fox to produce Simpsons merchandise will terminate at the end of this year. The final year before the license expires will hopefully still bring 1 or 2 more sets of figures and environments as well as 1 more Halloween THOH and possibly one other exclusive to Toys R Us. Although we are sad to hear the news we understand that it was bound to happen. For collectors this is of course a con that the line is ending but a plus that the value of series' released will go up. We'll keep you updated.
