The Simpsons Classic Characters is a set of six The Simpsons figures, each of which are in a tin, produced by Dark Horse.

History

"Inspired by the Syroco statues of the 1940s, Dark Horse's series of "Classic Comic" statuettes have been a huge success. Sculpted with flair and grace at Yoe! Studios, nearly one hundred different characters have been produced thus far, with most editions selling out upon publication.

While the statuettes in the series were originally based on characters from newspaper strips, in this companion series Dark Horse is featuring syroco'suniquely "primitive but charming" treatment on one of the modern era's most iconic, if dysfunctional, families -- none other than The Simpsons."
