I wonder if someone has ever tried to catalog all of the show-related merchandise created over the years. I was in a comics store recently and saw they had lots of “collectible” figurines for like Fat Tony and “I am evil Homer” Homer.
So tell us – what’s the best merch you’ve got?
What’s the worst / most cheesiest / crass thing you have?
If you don’t have anything, feel free to use examples from the show itself. Maybe a nice candy dish or tie rack.
My best is the 1,000 piece jigsaw puzzle with a couple hundred characters in the image. I pull it out once a year and build it again 'cause I love it that much.
My worst is a video game from the late 80s called Bart’s House of Weirdness because I don’t have a way to play it any longer, but it’s still stored away in my basement.
I’m not sure it’s possible to catalog all of the merch since there’s so much bootleg stuff out there (eat pant). I have a number of Simpsons tshirts, none of which are official. My favorite shirts are the one for the bus that couldn’t slow down and the one featuring Mattingly and his sideburns. I think the least favorite things I owned were some of the NES and Game Boy games that I had, because most of the early Simpsons games were just awful.
