The toy action figure series was called World of Springfield because the goal of the line was to build a miniature [[Springfield]] through a series of interactive action figures and playsets. It eventually encompassed over 200 different figures/characters from the series, 40 interactive playsets (toy re-creations of Simpson's interior settings and town location settings within Springfield), and 3 non-interactive diorama town settings.

The success of all "mass-market" action figure lines based on TV or movie characters are timed to the initial release of the project - as part of its promotional and marketing messages - taking advantage of the promotions, P.R. and advertising awareness and the figures themselves also as advertising and promotional vehicles. Most movie/TV tie-in action figures are successful for the brief period of the theatrical release, the video/DVD release and the possibility of a successful sequel but rarely for any longer period and typically, the release pattern for the action figure is no more than a few dozen figures, and some playsets to serve as background dioramas for the figures - with sales dropping off a few months after the last film is released. The Kenner/Hasbro ''[[Star Wars]]'' movie line is of course, the gold standard with figures in the same scale and in the marketplace since 1978. The closest TV equivalent might be the ''Star Trek'' line, though non-contiguous and not technically from one TV series (coincidentally also from Playmates Toys).

Suzanne the Witch.png

Suzanne is a witch who lives in a Gingerbread House.

After Bart and Lisa were thrown into the Deep Dark Woods, they found their way to the Gingerbread House. At first, Lisa wanted to look up the house in her copy of Grimms' Fairy Tales, but the offer of free candy from Suzanne was enough for her and Bart to enter the house. Soon, the two of them were chained up, with Bart being force fed sweets and Lisa being made to clean the house. Meanwhile, Homer returned home without the kids, and Marge made him go and look for them.

While Bart was eating, Lisa pointed out that Suzanne was only fattening him up so she could eat him, but Bart didn't care. As Bart and Lisa spoke, Suzanne entered the room again and told them to stop chattering and told Lisa to get back to sweeping as the house was filthy. Bart asked why she cared as it wasn't like she had a boyfriend. Suzanne became defensive and said that she did have a boyfriend called George. When she looked at her cauldron, she gave George the surname of "Cauldron". Bart and Lisa laughed at Suzanne because they assumed she was making her boyfriend up...
