Matt Groening Toy by Kidrobot

Next month, The Simpsons celebrates its 500th episode over 35 years, and Kidrobot honors the show’s creator with a 6-inch vinyl toy effigy. What a cool tribute. (The glasses, pad and pencil should appeal to artists and writers beyond Simpsons fans, too.) This is apparently the first EVER Simpsons Matt Groening toy, but I can’t help wondering if it burns Toy2R a little bit, since they were doing Simpsons and Creators before Kidrobot… The $50 Matt Groening figure comes out February 9th.
