Not
a huge surprise, as McFarlane Toys is best known for coming out with
the best-looking action figures out there, so the announcement that
they have been tapped to support the release of THE
SIMPSONS MOVIE on July 27th, with a line of intricately detailed
action figures, was good news all around. The characters will
feature incredible character detail (see below), but also a
voice-chip technology, which will allow them to “speak”
exclusive dialog from the film. Each figure comes mounted to a customized base, and, as an
added feature, the “Movie Mayhem” line of figures come with
interlocking bases so the figures can be combined to create one
large scene. The line will include a 6-inch figure line and
three boxed sets.

* Movie Mayhem – Lisa and Maggie
