Stan Lee, Adam West, Matt Groening to Get Simpsons Action Figures
 |
It is a strange world we live in when Lenny Kravitz and Tom Petty appear side by side in an assortment with three icons of comicdom. This celebrity Simpsons line is starting to remind me more of Groening’s other show, Futurama, as these figure sets feel like the equivalent of the heads-in-jars museum.
Does anyone else feel like Stan Lee gets the short end of the stick here, as the only one to be depicted looking his actual age? Maybe it’s balance for having been given an unduly perfect physique in He-Man’s universe.
