Guy Gets 203 Simpsons Characters Tattooed on His Back, One of Them Says “Ha-ha!”

Posted on 09/12/2014 by Conner Flynn

Some people will go to great lengths to show their love for their favorite show and to get into the record books. Michael Baxter, 60, is a grandfather and a prison warden in Barwon, Australia. He hopes to win a Guinness World Record now that he has 203 characters that have appeared on The Simpsons tattooed on his back. That has to be a first.

Baxter is obviously a super fan of the show. He got his first tattoo about a decade ago. And that wasn’t even a Simpsons’ character. But once he started with the Simpsons tattoos, he just couldn’t stop. At least he should be able to hold some kind of new record.

“It’s an addiction,” Mr Baxter said. “Once you get one you want more and more.”

“And why go small when you can go big.’’

I bet the creators find some way to work this guy into the show. I think he deserves it.

Dissected Ralph Wiggum Cake: When I Grow up I Want to Be a Principal or a Pastry!

Posted on 06/11/2014 by Conner Flynn

British Columbia-based designer Kylie Mangles of Freshly Squeez’d has created a realistic 3D cake portraying a half-dissected Ralph Wiggum from The Simpsons. You know Springfield’s famous child weirdo. You probably own the T-shirt.

It was built for Threadcakes, an online competition where people make cakes based on Threadless T-shirt designs. I love that it has so many colors and it looks realistic. I thought I was looking at a statue at first or a really good illustration.

I bet it was delicious, despite the fact that you are digging into an actual human shaped cake that is half dissected with muscle and bone exposed. Well it is only Ralph though.

Skip the Minifigs and Make the Simpsons out of LEGO Bricks

Posted on 09/05/2014 by Conner Flynn

The Simpsons recently aired their LEGO themed episode and to celebrate, Chicago animator David Pickett has created a video tutorial that will teach you how to make the Simpsons family out of LEGO bricks.

Because maybe you are too cheap to buy the real versions. I kid. I kid. That set is expensive and anyway, this will give them more of a brick look if you prefer that to minifigs. Plus these are larger.

The video gives you step-by-step instructions on how to build the whole family. It’s a good project to do with your kids this weekend if nothing else. So get out the bricks and start building.

First Look at the LEGO Simpsons Episode

Posted on 02/05/2014 by Conner Flynn

You’ve probably heard by now that the crew behind The Simpsons has been working on a special episode. In fact, they have been working on this for two years – The LEGO episode! You can see it this Sunday on FOX, when Brick Like Me will finally air. You can take a first look right now.

FOX has unveiled a two-minute trailer for the episode. Don’t worry about spoilers. They will have plenty more for you to see on Sunday night. This is the show’s 25th anniversary season, so this has been a labor of love for the crew ever since they were first approached by LEGO to do this.

So don’t forget to watch on Sunday night. This is a can’t miss episode.

D’Oh: LEGO Unveils Simpsons Minifigs

Posted on 04/04/2014 by Hazel Chua

LEGO announced that they were finally making a Simpsons set, with the promise of more minifigs somewhere down the line. Well, that time is here, as they’ve finally unveiled their line of Simpsons minifigs that includes all the characters we’ve grown to love over the years from Matt Groening’s hit show.

The entire Simpsons family will have their own minifigs (of course!), plus Milhouse, Ned, Itchy and Scratchy, Krusty, Apu, and Grandpa, among others. There’s also one of Ralph Wiggum with an “I-Choo-Choo-Choose You” Valentine’s card. Hit the break to get a closer look at the minifigs.

The Simpsons LEGO minifigs will come blind-bagged, so you won’t know which one you’re getting when you’re buying them. Each one retails for $4.

LEGO Unveils Simpsons Minifigs

Posted on 27/03/2014 by Conner Flynn

Simpsons fans will be happy with this news. LEGO just announced this line of LEGO Simpsons minifigs which will release on May 4th to coincide with a special Simpsons LEGO episode on FOX.

They are $4 each. All of your favorites are here with their accessories. They look pretty awesome, with some super detail. Sadly, you can’t get the set as a whole. The figures will come blind-bagged, meaning that you don’t know who you’re getting. I hope I get Itchy and Scratchy so I can make my own demented cartoons.

I’ll probably end up getting Millhouse or Ralph Wiggum and then since I’m too cheap that will be it. Oh well. Wait, there’s no Comic Book Guy?

homer potato head Homer Simpson Mr. Potato Head (Mr. PotaDoh! Head)
Celebrating the 25th anniversary of that legendary family from Springfield is the Mr. Potato Head Homer Simpson Figure or should we say Mr. Pota-Doh! Head. Somehow that phrase translates better when said aloud than in writing. Moving on, this fun take on the classic interchangeable body parts toy has everything you need to potato-ize Homer- blue pants, hair, donut. Mmmmmm donut.

This officially licensed toy measures 6″ tall and comes in a collectable box. Unfortunately it only comes in a Homer version, so you can’t swap the parts around for all your favorite characters- just Homer. Exxxcellent. Okily Dokily! Worst. Potato Head. ever. Wait, those weren’t Homer quotes. Doh! Stupid Flanders.

Posted on 29/01/2014 by Conner Flynn

Fans have been waiting for the first LEGO Simpsons set and now you can watch it being built. It’s an expensive set, so maybe this is the next best thing to owning it.

Mike, also known as “Bricks Nerd” got his hands on the LEGO Simpsons House and is sharing some videos of the set being constructed. This isn’t just a simple project either since this $200 set features 2,532 pieces in all. The speed-build video is about six minutes-long and there is also an 18-minute video that is basically a review of the set.

They are definitely worth watching if you are thinking about buying this set.
