Product Description

Editorial Review

Stamped with the Krusty Brand Seal of Approval (so you know it's not just good--it's good enough), this talking Krusty the Clown doll is a fine re-creation of The Simpsons's pugnacious Punchinello. Though the box touts him as the one seen in the "Treehouse of Horror" episode, this Krusty comes with a surprisingly soft side, along with the uptight demeanor exhibited by his TV counterpart. Three settings on Krusty's back allow you to choose his evil side, good side, or a combination of the two. All in all he has eight sayings, including "Shut your hole!" "You, sir, are an idiot," "What have you done for me lately?" and "I'm Krusty the Clown and I love you very much," in a voice incredibly similar to the cartoon character. He's dressed in his customary purple shirt, blue bow tie, lime green pants, white gloves, and garishly oversized red shoes. Standing approximately 17.5 inches tall, Krusty has a plush body with a hard plastic head that sports his frightful green 'do, bulging white eyes, and, perhaps the only evil-looking part of him, a wide, toothy grin full of sharp incisors. Krusty requires three AAA batteries (included) and comes in a handsome box covered with colorful Simpsons characters and artwork. --Larry White

This review is from: Bart Simpson's * GOOD / EVIL * KRUSTY THE CLOWN Talking Doll as seen in The Simpsons Treehouse of Horror Episode (Toy)

Krusty the Clown talking doll! Just like the one in the Simpsons episode. This is one of the newest exclusive Simpsons items - Talking Krusty! Krusty is 14" tall with a vinyl head and plush body. There's a hidden switch on his back that can be switched to "good" or "evil". Switch him to "good" and he says five different friendly phrases! But switch him to "evil" and he says 5 different naughty phrases! Comes packaged in a window display box. Krusty is a Diamond Comics and Spencer's exclusive, so you won't be able to find him at all toy stores.

This review is from: Bart Simpson's * GOOD / EVIL * KRUSTY THE CLOWN Talking Doll as seen in The Simpsons Treehouse of Horror Episode (Toy)

"Great Ceasar's Ghost, a talking Krusty Doll!" Those were the words Bart Simpson uttered when he received his very own talking Krusty the Clown doll in the famous "Treehouse of Terror" episode of the Simpsons. Every year, the Simpsons Halloween special is a no-holds bar episode that doesn't need to follow the general storyline of the series, and in season three of the long running series, in a segment titled "A Clown Without Pity," Bart is given a talking Krusty doll by Homer on his birthday. However, the doll is an evil doll bent on killing Homer.

Well, finally someone had the intelligence to release a real talking Krusty doll for Simpsons fans to enjoy as much as they did in the series. Following the segment's inside jokes, the dolls has a "good" and "evil" switch which allows the user to switch the phrases Krusty says. On the good side, Krusty says the words and phrases he used in the exact segment ("I'm Krusty the Clown, and I love you very much"; "Here you Go Buddy"; "Hey, Hey [followed by laughter]; "Coming Home to you makes it all worthwhile.") On the evil side Krusty says four not too nice phrases ("What have you done for me lately?"; "You sir are an idiot"; "Shut your hole!"; "Come on, move it!").

If you are a Simpsons fan, this doll is a must have. When I first found it on Amazon, I knew that I must have it in my collection. Since there the company released a limited amount of these dolls, I highly recommend that you buy yours soon before they become history. It's truly worth every cent!
