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.

"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!

Kusty the Clown is one of the best toys I have ever played with. This is for any Simpsons fan.

When I saw this on Amazon I was so excited! Both of my young adult children LOVE the Simpsons so I knew they would each love one of these dolls. I got one for myself too. I had not seen them anywhere else so the exclusivity was a boon as well. It is hard to find something extra special that both my son and daughter will both like. I let the cat out of the bag and told my daughter about her present, and she couldn't wait for her birthday so she got it early! Tape record the lucky recipient removing said gift from the box, that was a riot - and her friend helped! Too funny!

Even though the box says this doll is modeled after the evil Krusty in "Treehouse of Horror" I was disappointed to find just the typically amoral Krusty, more like the normal everyday Krusty doll Bart plays with.

No good, no evil. None of the rage, enmity, vulgarity or diabolical death threats from "Clown Without Pity" which I expected.

This is the doll that chased Homer with a butcher knife? Not even close. Krusty has sold out yet again.

B.T.W. You'll need a butcher knife to get this sucker out of the box. If you want to save the box in good condition, leave the toy inside. You can pull the talk string from the top of the box and hear all the good/evil comments because the switch is set to "demo", or random, mode. Good luck trying to tell which comments are good and which are evil.

Now tell me this was not the toy you have been waiting for since the announcement of the release of the Simpsons Universe!!! How can anyone not like Krusty the drunk, gambling, porn viewing, Bozo spoof, clown? Probably one of the coolest toys ever created since....Well in some great time. Coming from one of the funniest episodes of the Simpsons, you'll be able to recreate scenes with your Evil/Good Krusty doll!

Free frozen yogurt and topping not included. Only curse to come with this toy, is being cursed to have fun if you buy it!
