The Canyonero is a trademark Sport Utility Vehicle (SUV) in The Simpsons. It was endorsed by Krusty the Clown when it first appeared in 'The Last Temptation of Krust'. It is a large red SUV and was introduced just as the SUV craze began to hit the United States. The design is basically a parody of the large SUV and the 'I own an SUV, therefore, I own the road' style of driving. The theme song. The Simpsons: Road Rage is a 2001 video game based on the animated television series The Simpsons, and is part of a series of games based on the show.It was released for PlayStation 2, Xbox and GameCube.A Game Boy Advance version was released in 2003. The Simpsons: Road Rage was later added to the Backwards Compatibility program of the Xbox 360 for original Xbox games. The Simpsons Road Rage is like the retro version of GTA featuring Simpsons Characters. Drive around as Homer. Find out whats fishy in the city and complete all kinds of fun driving missions. Drive as fast as you can turn earn more money and complete levels.

Hey party people... the Simpsons are coming out in Blocko form soon and here's a quick preview. There will be 3 different packs, each with 3 characters. Above you see Homer, Marge and Lisa; Bart, Grandpa, Apu; Burns, Smithers, Carl. Each somes with accessories. We will try to carry these in our store as well and of course we'll keep you updated in their release.

B-Sharps... Bigger than Jesus?!

Recent rumors between collectors have been flying around that Wizard World may carry an exclusive sometime soon of the B-Sharps figures ( Homer, Barney, Apu and Skinner ). This is different than our recent report that the B-Sharps are going to be a Toys R Us exclusive 4-pack. Can there be two different packs with two different variants in clothing or design? For now it's unclear but we're excited either way and we'll keep all you collectors updated with the latest news.

Rumors...

Collectors have received some inside information from a retailer who will remain unnamed about more changes to the 2002 line-up from Playmates. Playmates has mentioned they would try to sell Main Street to the retailers again sometime and now it looks like it is on the list for Fall 2002. A Fourth Celebrity Assortment is also on paper, but no names were named. Finally, no 10 inch Figures are listed, raising suspicion that they may be cancelled.

Marge! Where's the Remote Control?!?!?

Ever lose your remote and spend hours trying to find it. Well my friends, you no longer have to go through that with this Homerific new product. The Homer Simpson Talking Remote Control Organizer. Just attach it to the arm of the couch or chair and it's an organizer for your remotes and TV magazines. We bought one for ourselves here and our trying to get some for the future store on this site, but right now our associates are selling theirs on EBay. Homer is about 1-1.5 feet tall in this and says 3 different phrases when you sqeeze his hand.

Got Road Rage?

Need to kill rising.. Rising! RISING! Ok, so maybe we here are the only ones that go crazy while driving but now the Simpsons have taken all that anger and excitement and put it into a video game. Now available for XBox and PS2 is the Simpsons Road Rage game. Do you have the need.. for uhm.. speed, oh yeah, that's another game. Anyways, all you game buffs, have fun with this one.

REM on The Simpsons

Hey all you REM fans, the second show of the 13th season features the music group REM. Homer is out on a mission to reclaim the good old fashion type of bar that Moe had before he went 'classy.' Just proves that The Simpsons always keeps bringing in big celebrity guests. We at SimpsonCrazy would love to see Playmates make figures of these special guests ( eg. The Who, Kid Rock, Smashing Pumpkins... ) sort of like music editions. What do you think?

And Then There was Color

Simpsons Road Rage Wii

It was a little more than 1-2 weeks ago that we brought you the pics of the clay protocols of the new Celebrity 2-pack and Celebrity 1 Cards. We now have the color versions of these and all of us that the color does bring these figures to life.

2nd DVD in May 2002

Another Simpsons DVD release, this one with the show's second season, is expected in May, according to a report in the Houston Chronicle.
Series producer Al Jean tells the newspaper that Fox definitely will do more DVD sets.
No confirmation from Fox Home Video on a May release, but it sounds about right. According to Variety trade magazine, Fox wants to release a DVD set about once every six months.
Meanwhile, The Simpsons: The First Complete Season, has hit Billboard's top-10 list in DVD sales, and was No. 1 in DVD pre-orders on Amazon.com

MmMm.. Cookie Jar

Simpsons Road Rage Amazon

Hey fellow collectors, a brand new TALKING cookie jar has just been released. This is the newest jar released here in the US ever since the 90's with the famous Bart and Homer Cookie Jar which range around $50-70 now. I found this one for $29.99 retail. We hope to carry it in our store even though we believe supplied are limited... but we'll try to get it to you guys. When you pop open Homer's cooking hat he says Doh! Great product and well done molding of Homer's face.

• Christmas Rushed: The game was rushed for a November deadline. As a result, the developers couldn't fix a game-breaking bug that made the map disappear on the PS2 version. They instead opted to split the map into several levels. This rushed development also led to the game lacking sub-objectives in the main game (rather than just a mission mode) and meant a few characters had to be cut.
• Executive Meddling: The E3 build has a brighter and more cartoony look to it than the final build. This was a change decided by the series creator. He didn't want the game to be a carbon copy of the show and instead wanting something more 'video game' looking.

• Follow the Leader: This game is pretty much a Crazy Taxi clone, so much that, well... Sega sued Fox over it.
• What Could Have Been:
  • The game features a number of blocked entrances to other levels. This is because all six levels were one single map at an earlier point in development. This was changed because the PS2 port couldn't handle the full map. At first there was severe lag, but after that was fixed there was a bug where the map would just stop loading. Due to the game having a deadline soon, the map was split at the last minute.
  • At one point, Principal Skinner, Hans Moleman, and Jasper Beardly were going to be playable characters, but were all cut.
  • In pre-development, it was briefly discussed whether the game should be a kart racer or not (hence the placeholder image with the logo The Simpsons Racing). This was quickly done away with because of the huge amount of kart games already on the market.

  • The E3 build has brighter colors and lighting than the finalized game.
  • It was briefly considered that the game be ported to the PSP, but this never went far into development.
