Save Blinky Bart is an extremely rare variant figurine that was part of the Mattel Simpsons Figurines, released in 1990. It was a re-painted version of the Mattel Series 1 Bart Simpson figurine.
History
Mattel produced several Simpsons figurines during the early 1990s, and during December 1990, the company started a mail-away promotion for a repainted figurine of Bart, named "Save Blinky Bart". The figure could be bought through the mail by buying 3 Mattel Simpsons figures between December 1, 1990 and March 31, 1991. The Bart figurine was painted so it had white and green sneakers, green shorts and a white t-shirt with the words "Save Blinky" and a picture of the fish below the text. The figure was only promoted in the US, and therefore, was not able to be purchased from outside the United States. After the promotion ended, it is known that only 3 figures exist, meaning this probable that the figure and its promotion by Mattel never made it to a widespread audience as their first line of figurines produced did not sell as well as the company hoped.
