The paint job is a little sloppy and you can see the parts where his face is fused to his head but that's all compensated by his giant grin (with noticeable teeth!) and red nose which just screams FUN FUN FUN! I am quite glad that they used proper plastic to mould his head instead of using the same material as Mr Burns.
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.
HEY HEY! It's a LEGO Krusty!He comes with a cream pie that has a 1x1 circular anti-stud at the bottom of the pie plate. The blue paint beneath the hair on the back of his head was a little messy on my model, but whatever. I'm sure you could remove it with acetone if it bothers you. Head, torso, waist, legs, arms, hands and pie are all solid LEGO quality with the expected tight tolerances.I would have liked the bottom of his legs to be painted red or maybe they could have made some custom legs with red clown shoes, and a cigarette accessory would have been nice, but these are just quibbles because it's a LEGO Krusty and how else are you going to get one?12-inch pianist and George Meany minifigure not included.
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.
