The Springfield Elementary School Bus is of one of four Johnny Lightning Simpson's die-cast vehicles released back in 2003. The other three were Homer's Pink Car Marge's Station Wagon and Chief Wiggum's Police Cruiser. That police cruiser was all white but later Johnny Lightning as part of the 5th release of Hollywood on Wheels released an LA looking Black and White version. In that release the school bus had a banner painted on it saying school charter. Homer's car was also rereleased with tickets over the windshield and the station wagon had dirt spots on the sides.
All of the Simpson's vehicles look sensational! They are all brilliant recreations of the drawn vehicles from the popular Simpsons TV show. Of all the cartoon vehicles released by Johnny Lightning and other manufacturers, these 4 easily most closely represented the actual ones that appear week to week on your TV. I'd love to see Johnny Lightning release other vehicles from the show. The top of my wish list would be Snake's Hot Rod and Mr Burns' limo.
All of these four vehicles come with a little cardboard figure, it is important to note that you will not always get the same figure with each car so if ordering from an online seller and you are getting all four vehicles make sure you ask to give you a different character with each car. Any of the characters can appear in the blister pack of any of the four cars. Cardboard characters you may get are Marge, Homer with Maggie, Lisa, Bart or Auto. These are pretty common on E-bay and elsewhere so don't pay too much. --James N Simpson Shop here
