Production[edit]

N.J. Croce bendables[edit]

The N.J. Croce Company, after the release of the first set, were planning an "Open Edition" without the Santa's Little Helper figurine.[1] During October 2005, the company told a Simpsons Collector Sector user that they were releasing a Kang and Kodos set, but there were no immediate plans for a Moe's Tavern set, which they were planning.[2] Later, during February 2006, Simpsons Collector Sector also reported that the Kang and Kodos set had been delayed due to licensing issues, and they were releasing a "Best of Homer" and a "Best of Bart" set. They said they were planning nothing else in the future, meaning that the Moe's Tavern set was probably cancelled.[3] In February 2007, a Simpsons Collector Sector user reported that he collected the FINAL bendable product, the Kang and Kodos from a local comic book store.[4]
