We were all well-excited with the news that there was a Lego episode of The Simpsons on the way, but the collaboration has gone a step further with Lego releasing images of sixteen figurines of some of the TV show's most well-known characters.

Our favourite has to be Grandpa Simpson holding a copy of a newspaper with the headline; "Old Man Yells at Cloud", but Ralph Wiggum grasping his 'I choo-choo-choose you' card is a close second.

The Simpsons Lego episode will be aired State side on May 4th, while the Lego set will be available to buy as of May 1st.

See them all in the gallery below.
