Whereas that slightly shrunk version on page 8 looks fab.
D'oh!
TBH I think they are fine, I'm a big fan anyway, well seasons 3-8 or so (plus some of the latest episodes have been half decent)
Wait, wrong show.
I'm wondering if we'll get a Sideshow Bob minifigure, probably not though because of his hair.
The traditional minifigure head suits traditional humans heads. I think that the cartoony over the top facial features of the Simpsons characters would be completely lost on a traditional head. The one picture that did it for me was Squidward 2006 beside the 2009 remake

I think these look fine, but a big top heavy. Will probably buy a full set for novelty purposes.

Seriously, though. I agree with what's said. Moulded heads are certainly better than not, but I'm not a fan of the size. Even though, as said, cartoons are oddly sized, I wish they'd been done a tad smaller, for aesthetic Lego minifig purposes.
Oh well, will see.. (by picking up some minifig packs, if that happens) but likely a pass for now.
It's kind of what @CupsHalfEmpty was saying about Squidward - some cartoon characters don't translate well into LEGO unless certain liberties are taken, as with the heads.
However those Futurama minifigs are the cat's meow......
Now if you're bigger lego fans than the show, then yea, the heads are out of place.
I understand where you're coming from. I'd have much preferred this kind of approach.
Yes Thats what I had in mind! I guess I'm a bigger minifigure fan than a Simpsons fan.
