In celebration of The Simpson's 25th anniversary on the airwaves, children's toy brand Kidrobot designed a collection of the show's most noteworthy character figurines in a box set that encapsulates the series. The characters are reduced to miniature sizes with an exaggerated body shape and oversized head giving them a fanciful design aesthetic similar but slightly divergent to that of the show.
The Simpsons is one of the longest running cartoon programs featured on a network, making its 25th anniversary a milestone that is not lightly overlooked. The Kidrobot set inaugurates special characters such as Hank Scorpio, Mr. Sparkle and Fat Homer along with more classical personalities such as Mr. Burns and Milhouse. Each box set comes with an unknown collection of characters, so consumers are continuously surprised by the contents.
