During the CustomCon, Playmates announced the third wave of
their mailaway figure sets. Following the “
B-Sharps” mailaway set and the upcoming “
Stonecutters” mailaway set comes the “Battling
Seizure Robots” mailaway set of figures, from the classic
Simpsons episode “Thirty Minutes Over Tokyo”.
This
episodic figure set features Bart, Lisa, Homer and Marge, and
recreates the classic scene in a Tokyo hotel room where an
animated television show induces seizures for the family. And
hilarity ensues.
Although the prototypes shown on display were
featured in a Simpsons family living room playset,
representatives assured us that the actual playset released
to augment the figure set would be that of a Tokyo hotel room.
The playset, a TRU exclusive, will also feature a first, in
that the lines of the characters will enable the entire hilarious
scene to be recreated. In another first, the playset will feature
a television as the exclusive figure, including a voice chip
to allow it to be part of the
action.
Lines included in the playset are:
Homer: “Whew. All that seizin' made me hungry.”
Lisa: “ Me, too! Let's go to an authentic Japanese noodle
house.”
Homer: “The toilet recommended a place called Americatown.”
Lisa: “Dad, we didn't come halfway around the world to
eat at "Americatown".
Marge:” I'd like to see the Japanese take on the club
sandwich! I bet it's smaller and more efficient.”
TV: “We now return to "Battling Seizure Robots".”
