You know, like bellies and mouths...

So I wonder if instead of modifying Lego figurines into simpson shapes (IE, like making a Homer head, like they did with TMNT), if they can make simpson anatomy as add on parts? Mouts done as separate pieces like beards.. pot bellies done sort of like the turtle's shells that peg in between the leg and torso pieces...

I think that's how I would approach it.

Or at least it didn't used to be. I haven't seen The Simpsons in years.

It never has bee a child friendly show. But that's never stopped kids from loving it. And Simpsons once had a massively successful toyline that was fueled by adult and kid collectors.
Likewise, Lego also has a large adult collector fanbase.
Most Cuusoo projects have a very limited target appeal... probably Lego turns most down more to "Not being worth our money, so few people would buy it" and use the "It's not kid friendly" as a polite excuse.
Simpsons would be a massive deal for them.
I can definately see this happening.

Also, this may not result as anything more than a very small Lego Store or Online exclusive marketed exclusively to adults.
If it results in anything at all.
