The Simpsons Matt Groening gets... well, er... "Simpsons'ized" by Kidrobot

Kidrobot continues to push the Simpsons merchandise... and this go around, instead of creating a whole line of mini-figure based on the show itself, it' almost like a "meet your maker" episode as creator of the Simpsons, Matt Groening, has been "Simpsons'ized"!!! This rad 6" vinyl version of Matt is just in time as the Simpsons are celebrating its 500th episode in February 2012, and Kidrobot is honoring the father of primetime animation in the only way they know how! And if you didn't think Matt was a fan of the designer toy community... think again, as he stopped by the SS.com booth during Designer-Con 2011 (posted to the left) and bought up one of Motorbot's "Meathead" resin figures... AWESOME! The figure comes complete with goatee and glasses, director’s jacket, pad and pencil accessories, and it's the first EVER Simpsons Matt Groening toy. Dropping February 9, 2012 at Kidrobot and select retailers for only $50 a pop!
