LEGO Minifigures fan site suggests that 16 new iconic Springfield characters are en route this year, alongside a LEGO Kwik-E-Mart
Hans Moleman, Groundskeeper Willie, Bartman and a whole host of further Springfield characters are rumoured to feature in the second wave of LEGO Simpsons Minifigures.
While the year of The Simpsons 25th anniversary may have come to an end, the popularity of the co-branding alliance between LEGO and the iconic yellow characters remains at large.
And according to the LEGO Minifigures fan site, The Simpsons Minifigures Series 2 will be released in May this year.
Initial speculation suggests that the new line up will feature the likes of Homer and Marge in their Sunday Best, Bartman, Lisa with Snowball II, Maggie with Santa’ Little Helper, Fallout Boy, Waylon Smithers, Patty and Selma Bouvier, Comic Book Guy, Groundskeeper Willie, Edna Krabappel, Professor Frink and Martin Prince.
But perhaps the highlight of the new collection is the hint of a forthcoming Hans Moleman LEGO Minifigure. However, whether or not the figure will be posed with a football striking him hilariously in the delicates remains to be discovered.
Further speculation also suggests that a new exclusive LEGO The Simpsons building set is also on the way this year. The Simpsons Kwik-E-Mart is tapped to be released this May, with LEGO VIP members being offered the chance to order in April.
As for images, it looks like for now we will all have to make do with the following, uncertified first glimpses:
