I am really sorry about that.

I had those Simpsons figures, too, and I kept a few of them, but sold all of the sets. The quality is so bad that they would barely fit on there and many of them wouldn't work the way they were supposed to.

c2- thanks for the sympathy.

Avitable- I only really had a quality problem with one of them(Kent Brockman). Unfortunately, they are still all boxed up from wehn we moved. they take up A LOT of room !!

Avitable said...

Yeah, they do! That's why I sold the sets. They were way too bulky.
