Just a quickie today, from the Parker Games stable of Hasbro, this is one of several tie-in versions
of the old Cludo game, but called Clue (as it always was the other side of
the pond) and staring The Simpsons!
Charity-shop find, couple of quid,
brilliant! Crusty has the most colours; eight including the black and white
they all share (nine with the yellow plastic they also share!), while some only
have two or three, to even-out unit-costs over the set. Murder weapons include
Marge's necklace, Crusty's 'Glove-O-Matic', a radioactive fuel-rod from
Springfield's power station and a poisoned doughnut! The kids are killing with
a catapult and saxophone!
Each figure is primarily coloured to equate
to one of the traditional characters, which are then given on the cards next to
the Simpson character's name, rather negating the point of using Simpson
characters, but at least we get another six figures to collect! Figures are
between twenty-five and forty-five
millimeters.
If the little envelope ever said someone
else Killed Homer anywhere with the doughnut, I'd challenge the result, they
haven't made a doughnut that would kill Homer yet . . . which reminds me; did I ever tell you about the doughnuts you
used to get at Guildford station,
they had little pimples on the base where they expanded into their mesh-trays, as they cooked . . . covered in sugar . .
. the
jam was to die for . . . sometimes I used to buy two . . . and another on the
way home . . .if they had any left . . . Doh!
