JAKKS Brings ‘Treehouse of Horror’ King Homer to Life

The new JAKKS’ officially-licensed King Homer Collector Plush stands 16-inches tall. It features “faux fur and premium soft boa, with a vinyl roto head for extra fine details.” It also comes in “bespoke packaging featuring a scenic backdrop inspired by “Treehouse of Horror III.”  

That official description only tells part of the story of this toy, though. It can’t convey what I learned when JAKKS sent me a review sample: King Homer is even better in person. This plush feels much bigger, its fur looks real, and its themed-box the box captures the tone and look of the King Kong parody. It’s the single best The Simpsons toy I’ve ever seen in person. And I’ve owned and received a lot of them in my life.

JAKKS lists the King Homer Collector Plush ($29.99) as appropriate for kids 14 and up. But it’s especially ideal for 41-year-olds who have spent many hours of their life watching and writing about every episode of “Treehouse of Horror” ever. Good thing that guy now has one.

That’s also true of the other additions to the company’s line of Springfield toys. The latest editions also includes 2.5-inch figures of Grampa Simpson, Milhouse, Ralph Wiggum, Comic Book Guy, Bart with Krusty the Clown Hat, Principal Skinner, Nelson Muntz, Martin Prince, Selma Bouvier, and Dancin’ Homer. JAKKS latest 5-inch The Simpsons action figures feature Baseball Homer, Lenny Leonard, Milhouse, Marge Simpson, Barney Gumble, Carl Carlson, Bumblebee Man, and Bart with Blue Shirt variant. The latest set is a Krusty Burger Diorama Set that comes with accessories and a 2.5-inch Krusty figure. And if you’re looking for another plush you can grab a Bartman one exclusively at Walmart.

This King Homer Plush is so good I half expect it to eat these other JAKKS Simpsons toys, but hopefully the Marge action figure can keep him in line.
