The Blot can’t explain it, but Día de Muertos is seriously taking over the 2013 toy world! The newest release to cash in on the Day of the Dead phenomenon is this The Simpsons x Kidrobot “Day of the Dead” Mariachi Homer vinyl figure. This 6” tall vinyl figure of Homer Simpson from Kidrobot features the patriarch of the Simpsons clan dressed like a mariachi musician in a charro outfit and sporting face paint of a Día de Muertos skeleton. The figure actually looks pretty cool, but I’m loving its packaging even more! It’s too bad Homer’s not sporting the colorful design on the figure’s box instead. Regardless, I know The Simpsons fans will all be scrambling to get their hands on this fun new figure.
The Simpsons x Kidrobot Day of the Dead Mariachi Homer 6” vinyl figure is not expected to hit store shelves until October 2013, but you can pre-order one today from Entertainment Earth for $49.99 here.
