The seven DVD volumes rank as the best-selling television DVD series of all time. In particular, these DVDs have been released in North America (Region 1), Europe (Region 2) and Australia/New Zealand/Latin America (Region 4):

[edit] Posters

Many posters involving Simpsons characters are available for purchase, as well as posters that have been included for free in the Simpsons comic books. One of the most famous Simpsons posters shows nearly the entire cast of characters which have made an appearance throughout the show. Many of these posters are spoofs of famous images; for example, one poster shows Bart swimming naked underwater staring at a dollar bill, similar to the cover of the Nirvana album Nevermind. On another poster Homer is screaming, similar to the painting The Scream by the Norwegian painter Edvard Munch.

[edit] Action figures

Many characters are available to buy in figurine form, and each figure comes with an accessory. For example, Bart comes with his trademark slingshot and Homer comes with a donut. Toys have also been made of automobiles from the Simpsons, such as the family's car and the school bus, as well as familiar sets from the show, including Principal Skinner's office, Apu's Kwik-e-Mart, and Homer's workstation at the power plant.
