Could Simpsons line of Minifigure series or Sets return?

Would be a great Upgrade for sure. With the Simpsons we got dual moulded arms back in 2014... I'd wish we got new movable shorts legs now.

Third party movable short legs have been available for ages, such as those by Brick Fortress. However they don't look right when posed, especially when in the sitting position.

Do you think there might not be a new Simpsons CMF next year to go along with the new set? Cause if there isn't, we can say bye-bye to any new characters if the set is a stupid Simpson House remake...

Putting the same figure twice in the series with different accessory would not make much sense. Moulding different heads for different expressions would be too much effort for the twins. Putting just one of them into the box and tell fans to get 2 would feel strange, too. I can also not come up with an idea for interesting accessory for the twins.

Uh, they can just give them different eye prints. That is a way to make them with no identical figures, no seperate head moulds, and no singularity.

And for their accessories, give them the magazines they're holding in this season 16 screenshot:

There are good reasons to have a CMF series alongside a large set, and there are good reasons not to have a CMF series alongside a large set. So there might be a CMF series, but then also there might not be a CMF series.

If it’s the Krusty Burger, I could see them including the family, Krusty and maybe Chief Wiggum to reuse the molds, and then add Sideshow Bob or Mel and the Squeaky Voiced Teen as exclusives.   
 

Then selfishly I’d love another CMF series to get more of the characters we didn’t get in the first two series’.

Who is your most wanted LEGO Simpsons character? Mine is Principal Skinner.

The one I'd love to see is Moe Szyslak. It would probably have to be in a CMF, since Lego's reluctance to depict alcohol means we probably won't get a Moe's Tavern set, but hopefully we'll finally get Springfield's ugliest bartender.

I could see a mix of sets and a CMF. Characters like Skinner & Otto could come in school themed sets, but I think they would really have to up the quality and desirability of a new CMF series. I wasn’t as down on S2 as many were, but I think that some were poorly executed.

He's actually my #2 most wanted.

I feel like there are too many more desirable characters to waste two slots in a CMF series on Sherri and Terri with nothing but a minor difference in their eyes. (Especially since it's a given that some variant of the Simpsons themselves will be included, so that's half of the slots taken up)

[Gorilla94]

My customs are pretty much like original Lego, so I don't want Moe, Skinner, Lenny, Carl, Quimbi, Üter, Kirk, Louanne, Sideshow Bob, Barney, Doris or Otto to be released.  I'd like to see the Bullies, Lionel Hutz, Chalmers and other c-list  characters

Skinner is also mine. Chalmers would be good too to complete the steamed hams cast.

LEGO doesn't need to make those c-list characters if your customs are good enough for b-list, just make custom versions of those too.

They are good enough for a-list, too. It is not possible to tell the difference except for the resin print material of the heads feeling slightly different

This. Modeling them in Blender is a chore. It is also cheaper to buy them from Lego.

Wouldn't it make more sense to make the roster 18 or 20 figures to make up for the fact that we haven't had a series in ten years?

Allegedly it‘s the Krusty Burger after all, with the minifigs sharing the same design as before! Fingers crossed this is true!

That's just a photo. But i think there will be no CMF... May is that F1 crap, and September seems to be Marvel or Fortnite.

And both of those are from a reliable source! 😭

So set 10352 is Krusty burger? Good thing I sold my last one, I will jump on this one for sure and collect them again if true. I'm just shocked because disney's has been making the license difficult for sure. They just cancelled my favorite simpsons game that I was playing since 2012, The Simpsons Tapped out and made me question what was Disney trying to do with the simpsons like if anything and the toy sections at retailers if filled with simpsons 3.5" figures.

Using the same moulds or same shaped heads if they need new moulds is fine for the same characters. They were good the first time. But if there are no new characters, then I'm out already.

Hopefully it causes some new interest in LEGO Simpsons as I still have loads of the two previous CMF series to sell on.
