Tuxedo Krusty (The Simpsons)
In many ways, Krusty the Clown is the ultimate entertainer. And if not the ultimate entertainer, than at least the ultimate cartoon clown. This version of Krusty depicts him at his Jerry Lewis best – untied bow tie and all – and the typical Simpson figure protocols are accounted for: seam joints at the shoulders, neck and waist. What I like most about Tuxedo Krusty is the color scheme. Accurate to the show – wasn’t he singing, “Send in the Clowns”? – this may be the best Simpsons paint job I’ve seen and I’ll point to one area that demands the most attention. His pants and shoes are different colors. Granted, it’s a minor detail but it makes the whole that much more complete when Playmates easily could have saved some time by making them one color.

Is Tuxedo Krusty worth the bucks? Yes. But by now if you’ve been buying these figures regularly it’s almost like a drug. You’ve gotta get that next hit! - Omni (February 21, 2004)
