Homer Buddha, “Mmmmm.  Enlightenment.”

The kidrobot x the Simpsons toy collaboration continues with the new 7-inch vinyl Homer Buddha. This standalone, zen-like Homer inspired by “Goo Goo Gai Pan” (Season 16, Episode 12), comes packaged in a white and red box parodying a Chinese take-out food container.

Homer Buddha, peacefully sitting on top of “giant fried dough topped with pink frosting and rainbow jimmies,” will be available starting September 6th, 2012.
