The Simpsons...

[MacKazoo]

I got an even funnier idea what if every shirt says worse convention ever like worse SDCC ever.

Kind of like this...

Spoiler: show

That’s what I thought when it was mentioned. It’s bringing up Funko’s past and putting it in the present.

[OriginalDuffy]

More are coming but hopefully it’s more than just one wave

I think they are done with Apu related merchandise, or are in the process of ending that which saddens me...

What happened?

Apu is seen as too conterversial in todays day and age

[TheResidentEvil]

With all his different outfits, they could do a whole line of homers and i would probably buy them. There is so much material with so many seasons, the line could go on forever if they did it right.

Funny thing is, noone really batted an eye in the earlier seasons LOL

I grew up watching The Simpsons and still watch them to this day. Never found him offensive but oh well

Maybe Funko could release one as a convention exclusive.

Nah 20th Century Fox is done with the character altogether. That would mean no more merchandise

Aw crap, . I hate this so much.

well one random guy pretended to be super offended, so clearly they had no other choice

Thats a fantastic idea. I love bringing the old back with these type of things. This idea in particular works well. Serves as a callback, and would be a hilarious convention piece.

Here's a Wikipedia article concerning the Apu controversy: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Problem_with_Apu

[Mr Yac]

oh i'm well aware of the "controversy". i'm still waiting for the fat guys to be offended by Comic Book Guy, the nerds with Glasses to get Milhouse banned and the angry Scotsmen to revolt because Willie isn't voice by a true Scott.

Comic Con two pack

I think Mr. Smithers could be a common pop and maybe he and Burns could be in a FYE exclusive two pack.

[Playthatfunkomusic]

Started a new season pass at Universal Studios yesterday and I've decided that I'm getting the new POPs so I can take pics all over the Simpsons section. I'm a sucker for pics of Characters with their POPs

Oh absolutely. You cannot have one without the other.

I think that if people take the time to explain why a character based in stereotypes is harmful and offensive, we could maybe take the time to see it from their perspective? I know if they had a prominent Jewish character based in stereotypes, I would be pretty offended, and I would also be pretty p*** if people told me I was overreacting. I don't think we should be mocking people for calling out legit problems, even if it means we have to face that we've enjoyed a character that has hurt others.

I imagine a potential SDCC two pack would be shared, so we can have both!

Or the Christians to be offended by Ned Flanders. Stereotypes are jokes. They never were meant to be taken as the truth or as vicious.

I think a store exclusive would be better, though I remember hearing a report back when Playmates had the Simpsons line, Walmart demanded them not to ship Waylon Smithers. In which he became instant scalper bait.

Sometimes just because it wasn't intended doesn't mean it didn't occur. When that drunk driver got behind the wheel of a car he didn't mean to kill anyone but they did. That is an extreme example but it makes the point. So when people speak up because they are hurt, you don't say well I didn't mean it that way, you listen, correct it, and do better in the future.

and i'm sure all of this popping up at the height of outrage culture had nothing to do with it, this guy was just seething with deep psychological wounds over the torment of Apu for 29 years and was just now brave enough to say something people need to get the hell over themselves and companies need to stop placating these whiny schoolmarms who aren't their target audiences to begin with and seem to only exist to ruin things that other people enjoy.

i'll spare you what i'm sure will amount to deep emotional distress and not tell you that they literally have a character named "Old Jewish Man" in the cast


and to keep it pop related, i'd love to see this version of Mr. Burns with the robot Dog Smithers
