The Simpsons Action Figure Information Station

History of the The Simpsons Action Figure Information Station:

The Simpsons Action Figure Information Station is now in it's 4th amazing year. The site was created in May 2000 by myself, Tino Persico, after hearing that Playmates was finally going to release the long awaited and much anticipated Simpsons Action Figure line. This site was an instant hit after the first month being the only online news source for the World of Springfield Action Figures line created by Playmates Toys. Since then we have had 4 redesigns and moved from 3 different locations. In 2001, we joined forces with the internet's greatest Simpsons site, Evergreen Terrace, as part of the 'No Homers Club' where we are here to stay. Although ET
was C&D'd by FOX, we have continued with the site at our own internet domain address: www.worldofspringfield.com. In 2004, the World of Springfield line of figures came to an end
but the site still remains as the leading source for figure information found on the web.

He is a mechanical engineer working on the cutting edge of the Hi-Tech world and is constantly trying to assimilate the world into the Nerdom that he lives in. When he is not saving the world, he

Ryan Cave (WoS in Motion) - Email

Ryan Cave is the man behind the fan favorite WoS in Motion section where he brings the World of Springfield figures to life. He is inactively pursuing a career in writing, directing, and acting while spending most of his time playing video games, working on odd projects (like the “cartoon” he contributes to this site) and fearing the real world. He’s currently attending university and may one day make something of himself. “Be sure to end your bio in a quote.”
