The Simpsons Environments are the most comprehensive, detailed talking toy series in the history of talking toys. The Simpson's "Living Room" has been selected to represent this remarkable series but it easily could have been Homer in the Nuclear Power Plant or a half dozen of the other settings. Playmates has been producing these environments since January 2000 and each set comes with at least one Simpsons character that speaks over 40 different phrases by placing it on its activation peg. Called Intelli-Tronic™ Voice Activation, these characters also work with other selected environments. The Simpsons Living Room features Marge and Maggie, however, over 62 other figures will work with this room.

 

There are two note-worthy sites for a more complete look at these environments. Playmates, the maker of the Simpsons toys series, has a site that lists all environments and all talking figures with associated out of the box pictures of the environments and figures. This site can be viewed by clicking Playmates.com.

The premier site for information about Simpson environments and figures is at Simpsonscollectors.com. This site has information on each character and the phrases that are available by connecting that character with each of the other environments. For instance, this site details that the Bart figure says the following when in the Living Room environment:

"*LAUGH*"
"Aye carumba!"
"Dad, thanks to television, I can't remember what happened eight minutes ago."

Simpsonscollectors.com also has cross references to scripts, annotations, and other extensive information about the series.
