Lego teamed with Twenthieth Century Fox to create the official Simpsons Lego. The Simpsons house is first to go on sale with more to follow in May with a total of 16 figures. Fox will be airing a special Lego episode of the Simpsons to go with the full release of the plastic counterparts in May. All the characters will be in Lego form for the episode. But whether it will be animated Lego or drawn it is not clear. It will apparently be quite similar to the Lego Star Wars special.

In March last year, Lego’s Jan Christensen announced plans of collaborating with Fox about the long-running cartoon series. Fox also had confirmed that the Simpsons could be a new Lego tie-in license. The Simpsons were formerly represented in Lego as part of the advertising campaign. Imagine campaign used characters from various cartoon strips and represented them in coloured bricks. Several other cartoon characters like Asterix, Obelix, The Smurfs, the kids from the South Park and teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles were there.

In October, it was known that 16 characters comprising the Simpsons family will be released by Lego in May 2014. Lego also announced then that the Simpsons house set will be available for sale on the Lego website and Lego stores in April 2014. The Lego range will debut in a Simpsons Lego TV episode in May 2014.
