Recommendation: yes 9 / 10 by WhiteFang

Although I am not a full pledged Simpsons fan, but through the release of these minifigures, I have learnt to appreciate them very much which make me felt pretty positive towards this entire new approach. On a very positive note, I totally enjoy the different forms of integration throughout my different LEGO Themes in my collection.

The Brick Fan

Recommendation: no 4 / 5 by Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

Overall, the LEGO Minifigures – The Simpsons Series (71005) was better than I expected. LEGO did a great job in getting the various details of the characters in the minifigure designs. It was good to see that these minifigures aren't the same as the ones in the Simpsons House. LEGO stayed true to the cartoon series and the minifigures were well represented.

Recommendation: meh 8 / 10 by Jay

That said, it kinda… fits in with Mr Burn's character because the rubbery plastic gives his face a very unique texture and feel – something that I thought was a conscious decision given his frail health and prolonged life. Despite that rationale I came up with, I was extremely disappointed that his head wasn't made out of the same material as every other Simpsons minifigure and is a huge flaw which would otherwise have made Mr Burns one of the top minifigures in this series. You can bend his nose and mouth, which just makes his minifigure feel and look cheap.
