    Next to Star Wars, World of Springfield may be one of the greatest world-building toylines of all time. Playmates really knew what they were doing back then. So many obscure characters, so many completed "teams" like the Pin Pals, The Mobsters, all of the Springfield Police, etc. We got so many backgrounds, locations and accessories that often contained little in-jokes. They look incredible when displayed together. One of my all-time favorite toy lines.

    I loved this line so much. They had so many characters, accessories, and moments represented, it made me happy they covered so much ground as a huge fan of the series. There wasn't much more we could ask for at the time. I had a lot of these figures and playsets that I sold for next to nothing to make ends meet at the time. I wish I still had them but I've moved on collecting wise. Great collection and awesome retrospective! Thanks for covering this line of figure, it really brought me back!

  • @vxrdrummer
    @vxrdrummer 4 года назад +18

    These figures and play sets look incredible. Some of the best likenesses of any toys to tv show for sure! The first 8 seasons are probably the best programme ever made, of any genre. That's a strong claim of mine there!!! I was 17/18 in 2000/2001, so I wasn't really aware of these toys until now as at the time I was nearly permenantly drunk or in bed.

      Just spent the last hour gathering research to see what I would need to make a Playmates Family Guy vid. It looks like they only made one series and one playset?? That's an injustice!! If we were to cover this topic as a guide and historical review, it might only be about a minute long :(

    Such a shame they didn't get around to making Kang. That would have been a really cool figure.

    The RadioActive glow in the dark Toyfare Homer is gonna be worth so much. Only 10k made.
