Hey Howdy Hey Tappers!
It’s event time in Springfield! With the launch of Itchy and Scratchy Land, summer can officially begin for the residents of our pocket-sized towns! Of course, an all-new event means a new opportunity for EA to add new premium items to our stores!
As we all know, that limited-time label can tempt us to grab everything in sight because it’ll be gone soon. But don’t sweat it! That’s where we come in to tell you what’s worth those donuts and what you might want to hold off on.
Wondering if you should add June Bellamy and the UPA Talent Agency to your Springfield? Well before you hit that confirm button let’s break down the pros and cons of adding this voice acting combo to your town…

Pros
-Comes with a questline, every questline task earns event currency
-Can staff rides at Itchy and Scratchy Land
Cons
-Not voiced
-Animated on building is meh, all the lights turn on
-Outdoor animations are lackluster
-Won’t use UPA Talent Agency for her tasks…outside the questline
-Expensive for who she is/what she does
Final Thought
Premium or Freemium:
Premium toss-up. She’s pretty “blah” in regards to typical character standards, but I know there are a bunch of you that will say “But it’s June Bellemy!” or “It’s a character/building combo!”…if you’re in that camp buy it. But if you’re not…I’d pass. When it comes to character/building combo standards, this isn’t really on part with other items.
Freemium:
Avoid this one. Not worth the donuts for what she does, save those donuts for something better in our stores.
Of course, in the end, it’s your decision, we can only tell you what we would or wouldn’t do…and as a premium player, I’ll likely be passing. But whatever you decide, just make sure you make your final decision before it leaves our games for good (or for now).
Here’s a look at her tasks…
