There can be difficulty in finding the right item for Simpsons fans after several holidays and celebrations of gift giving. Here is a list of affordable Simpsons gift ideas that complement any fan’s collection of the typical DVDs and movie posters.
The Simpsons Movie Theater Figure Set – Set of 5 Vending Machine Toys
Serious collectors of this animated series may enjoy the set of movie theater figures. It is not always easy to find but can be one of the most treasured Simpsons gift ideas. The Simpsons movie theater figure set features the entire family seated in their own chair. These movie theater seats can be placed together or separated depending on how the gift recipient wants to display them. Every member of the Simpsons family is seated as normal except for Homer and Bart.
Homer Simpson is seated with a movie theater concessions tray that includes popcorn and a soft drink. Bart is standing up on one foot in his chair, participating in silly antics. The Simpsons Movie Theater Figure Set can be purchased for $10 or less depending on where you shop. There are other variations of Simpsons themed movie theater figures on the retail market. Many are sold as individual figures, allowing buyers to select the Simpsons family member of their choice. These varied items can be purchased as holiday gifts if the initial set cannot be found or is no longer in stock.
There is also a Simpsons Movie Set that features four theater seats because Lisa and Maggie share one. All family members are interactive in this set and come with sound chips that have dialogue from The Simpsons Movie. The Simpsons Movie set appears to be larger than the collection of vending machine toys. It is priced around $75 while the individual figures cost between $8 and $35 depending on which family member is purchased. These movie theater figure sets are sold at specialty toy stores online.
Simpsons Shot Glasses
There are several options for Simpsons shot glasses when buying gifts for adults age 21 and over. Some of the shot glass sets are priced around $15, making them affordable to shoppers on a budget. The “Moe’s Tavern Shot Glass Set” was sold as Target but can also be found at online gift shops. Each shot glass features one of six Simpsons characters and a Moe’s Tavern logo on the back. There is also a 3-piece Simpsons shot glass set of Homers. Each shot glass features Homer Simpson with a difference facial expression and a drink recipe on the back.
The Simpsons Scrabble Game
Simpsons fans who are board game lovers may find this version of scrabble more entertaining than the regular set. Appropriately titled “Scrabble – The Simpsons Edition”, it is one of many hard to find Simpsons gifts. The rules for play are slightly different than the regular Scrabble game and include words from the animated series. There are some listings for this item on eBay but shoppers can still search specialty toy stores and gift shops to buy the Simpsons Scrabble game. Shoppers can expect to pay $35 or more in some stores since this is a rare find and considered to be one collector’s item among several private sellers.
