 In [[2009]], KFC Canada released a collection celebrating the 20th anniversary of ''The Simpsons''. The promotion consisted of six collectible figures: Homer Simpson, Marge Simpson, Bart Simpson, Lisa Simpson, [[Krusty the Clown]], and [[Apu Nahasapeemapetilon]]. The figures were distributed individually in packaging featuring ''The Simpsons'' 20th Anniversary branding and became a notable Canadian fast-food collectible.<ref>[https://www.kijiji.ca/v-art-collectibles/city-of-toronto/the-simpsons-20th-years-action-figure-kfc-complete-set-of-6/1723251059 The Simpsons 20th Years Action Figure KFC Complete Set of 6]</ref><ref>[https://poshmark.ca/listing/Simpsons-20th-Anniversary-KFC-Collectible-Figures-in-original-Packaging-Set-of-3-68f91bd54fbbfdad8c5efdb2 Simpsons 20th Anniversary KFC Collectible Figures in original Packaging Set of 3]</ref>
