NECA Features ‘Simpsons’ Guest Stars

The first cast of guest stars for the boutique merchandise line, set to release in early 2014, includes James Brown, Tom Hanks, Kid Rock, Yao Ming and Hugh Hefner, among music stars, actors, sports heroes and more. A new line featuring a different group of guest stars will be introduced every two to three months after the first rollout.

“We are honored to celebrate a show that continues to entertain generations of fans,” says Joel Weinshanker, president and chief operating officer, NECA. “When you look at the guest stars over the years, they read like a who's who of music, movies and television. I, for one, have made room on my shelf for all the amazing action figures that will be part of this program.”
