I feel your pain. I have 100+ figures and 25+ playsets setup to look like a little Springfield. But I have found a quick trick - Take a very large beach towel.. the largest you can buy and wet it in the sink. Let it hang on the shower rod until it is moist but not dripping wet. Lay it on a...

My question is in reference to the episode where Homer goes to the Chili Cook-off, trips out on hot peppers, then looks for his soul mate (sorry, I can't remember the the title of the episode): Towards the end of the episode Homer yells out: "I'm an insignificant speck, on a has been planet...

What is the white and blue accessory that comes with Kirk Van Houten figure?

Dana Gould is a man. Trust me. Here's Dana...

I tried canned air but it just blew around the very small accessories like the beer cans and eye glasses (if I have to search the floor for Smither's eye glasses one more time I am going to lose it! :angry: ) I guess I can just use a moist rag, but they get dusty so quickly and it takes so long...
