Editorial Review

It is poetic in a way that these figures of Bill and Marty, the only known DJs on Springfield’s KBBL radio station, are not compatible with other Simpsons’ "intellitronic" play sets. Because in the world of the Simpsons, these two would be completely out of place anywhere but the comfort of their own wacky morning show. Figures of Bill and Marty are included here (we hesitate to call them "action figures," since they don’t appear to get much exercise or sunlight), along with a set of the KBBL studio. When the guys have been placed in their designated spots, push a button to hear wince-inducing FM radio clichés like "Well, hot dog, we have a wiener!" and "Nobody rocks like Bill & Marty on KBBL!" As delightfully clueless as Bill and Marty are, the real star is the radio station set. It includes plenty of details that are sure to thrill faithful fans, including a play list calling for Mr. Funky and the Springfieldians. --Charlie Williams

Product Description

Highly detailed, articulated figures of Bill and Marty and Springfields very own KBBL radio station environment. Intelli-Tronic resistor technology allows the figures to "talk" when they are connected to their own KBBL radio station environment.

Sure, It's Ideal for any die-hard simpsons fan, but these interactive environments usually interact with other simpsons figures.This one does not work with any figures except for the two that it comes with

While not a playmates product these figures have hilarious phrases and fit well with the other characters. Any Simpson's fan who works in or loves radio will appreciate this tongue in cheek set. Durability seems equal to Playmates sets.

I've got just about all of the Simpson's Interactive figures but I held off on purchasing Bill and Marty until the price came down. Now that I've got them with the rest of the sets, I'm surprised that Amazon was able to keep them in stock for so long--their hillarious.
