We've been talking about it for awhile now -
what looks like the end of the World of Springfield. Hard to believe
after almost five years, but it's been one heck of a fantastic line.
With wave 17 and beyond not seen in plastic at Toy Fair, it seems quite
likely that those figures are very up in the air. Most collectors seem
to agree that the largest gap in the remaining undone characters is poor
Maude Flanders. Without her, that family just isn't complete.
Therefore, there's a drive under way to get
her released as a single figure exclusive, chipless. She'd be chipless
because there's no playsets currently available for her to speak on, but
that isn't all bad - that means she's not quite as expensive to produce,
either. This poll is intended to do two
things - determine if there's a viable market for releasing Maude, determine
the best price point for that market, and to get a feel for what other
unproduced figures people might want to still try to get out in a chipless
form. Please take your voting
seriously. Your email address is required - any votes without one will
be ignored. Please only vote once, to avoid inflating the count.
We are looking for reality here, because there will be people with money on
the line. Be honest in your voting, and do your part to get Maude
made!
