    I think it looks good, but this is now the first ‘head box’ which includes the characters FULL HEAD. The previous ones were subtle and were like the character was peeking up from the bottom. The Krusty one strayed from the five family sets in this regard somewhat, but even this one will look weird next to the Krusty one.

    If Comic Book Guy isn’t immediately recognizable from the mouth upwards they shouldn’t have used him in the first place.

    A Relly Cool dvd limited edition boxset!
    I wonder what the Inside cver will look like!
    I think for the next season they should also include
    ralph wiggum for season 13.
    I am certain that season 13 of the simpsons dvd boxset
    will be a M15+.

    I can’t wait!!!! :)

    some characters i want to see on future seasons- moe, mr. burns, ralph, wiggum, apu, milhouse(maybe), barney(maybe), lenny and carl, flanders, Dr. Hibbert, Dr. Nick I figure those will get us through 23 seasons (24 if Lenny and Carl are on separate seasons)

    tyler@ Make room for other characters, there will be more seasons to come! ;D

    I really like this season, especially the WHO episode, and I think that this will be nice 18th birthday present for me (yesterday it was my birthday :D ).

    I don`t like it. I think its the writing on his bald patch.
    When it comes out I will be running to the shop to get the normal box with superman-like Comic Book Guy.
    One of the best episodes from this season has got to be Trilogy of Error. Which was better than most trilogy episodes (except for Treehouse of Horrors of course)

    I think it looks rather ugly, to be honest.

    i luvvit, the dark red and light blue go well and it will stick out at every electronics new release shelf, which will help boost sales.

    lol! thats hillariously ugly. it’d be cool to see the crazy cat lady on one of the boxes, with sound. press the box and hear her scream WRAHAHRWHAHAA.
    TRESS MACNEILLE FOR PRESIDENT.

    Ironically, I think this is easily the Worst. Box. Ever.

    Seriously, why CBG of all people?! Why not Ralph, Mr. Burns, Patty/Selma or the countless other beloved Springfieldians out there?

    CBG’s just a one-dimensional tertiary character and he was never (nor was he ever supposed to be) likeable.

    Plus, I haven’t been able to bring myself to buy season 11 yet due to all the issues people have had with it. Any news on whether or not FOX will be producing an improved box design?

    Well said, Burak. Well said.

    Don’t like it really. Don’t know what it is but it looks odd to me. Don’t really think they should have used Comic Book Guy too.

    Oh well, I prefer the regular boxes anyway.

    i think they all should of been Tins, Also no one has mentioned great Abe Simpson him self, maybe he should of been there befor Krusty

  14. i shag dead rodents 15 July 2009 at 9:53 am #

    ralph? he’s an even more one dimensional character. CBG is better than patty and selma and ralph but together.

    I think you meant burns, smithers, skinner, moe or Willie
