    The owner at my local comic shop bought a case and instead of a zombie he got 2 mariachis. This throws me off a bit…I'm guessing Bart and Homer are 1/50 to match the 2 mariachi figures?

    @CWB you're pretty much guaranteed a zombie in one case, since there are 5 zombies. It comes out to 5/100 figures, or 1/20. Unless you're unlucky

    I got Disco Stu today. He's a black figure on the box, and it just has ?'s. Anyone happen to know his probability by any chance or how much he's worth? Thanks. ;)

    This is crazy…How am I suppose to get these for my husband at 10$ a piece that's what I make in an hour! I got a case of the last set for him and he almost get a complete set…But at only 20 per case he isn't going to come close. What's up with coming out with Zombie ones NEAR Halloween and then giving us the worst chance of ever getting them! ?/?? for what 5 different ones this is crazy so in order to have a case at 1 zombie I have to buy 5 cases! ARE YOU KIDDING? This is such a joke! I feel sorry for the simpsons fans who are sitting with no money and have a small budget for x-mas getting only 3 boxes for X-mas is going to stick!

    These are great! The whole Zombie set is awesome. I'm trying to figure out what the mystery figures are and I know one of them is. . . . . Disco Stew! I can't really see the outline of the other figure.

    Kidrobot has become for the rich. Who can afford 10 dollars a BB? a 2 dollar increase from the last series. Best thing is they have all the 1/100 chases which theoretically would cost 1000 to get, on the main page. Really makes me sad. Even though I don't want to, im going to have to pass on this series…can't afford to get caught up in it.

    too bad all the Zombie ones are 1/100 IMO the only interesting one's in this series. Oh but you'll get a Mariachi set cause those are 1/25…LAME!

    SUPER DOPE!! But I try not to buy the mini-figures that are worth $10. KR should totally have a signing with Matt Groening. The zombie ones are perfect for Halloween this year. Is there going to be a special dunny release for Halloween like there is on Christmas? That would be DOPE!

    Come on The Simpsons AGAIN? Seriously, The Simpsons hs been done and its so sell out. Come on Kidrobot, so many better shows you could tweek into sweet ass toys, just think stewie from family guy, the posibilities are endless!!!!

        This guy is a retard. You have no clue what the hell your saying. Go watch Family Guy.

      Family guy f*cking sucks. I see family guy toys being about as successful as the Adult Swim toys, and by that I mean not at all. Family Guy is like the Simpsons, but for dumbasses. Go crawl back under your rock and watch your TV shows devoid of any originality or humor, and leave the the discussion to the intelligent ones.

    zombie marge and maggie look incredible but zombie bart and homer look weak because it looks like they used the same molds as the last series.
