Fox Licensing and Merchandising will unveil a whole slate of new SIMPSONS inspired products at Toy Fair in February. Fox has struck a deal with USAopoly to turn the town of Springfield into the classic Monopoly game. Instead of coveting Boardwalk game players will seek out the Springfield Nuclear Power Plant. This new Monopoly take off comes after the release of the hot SIMPSONS "Clue" game, which is selling out at various stores around the U.S. Six new Playmate interactive figures will be released including Sunday Best Homer, Moe, Nelson, Milhouse and Kamp Krusty Bart. Two new interactive play-sets will also be released including Town Hall featuring Mayor Quimby and the TV station featuring Sideshow Bob. In addition, a new line of SIMPSONS trading cards and a SIMPSONS trivia game from Cardinal Industries will be available.
