DC Comics Characters To Get ‘Mr. Potato Head’ Treatment
Hey, if it worked for Star Trek, why not DC Comics heroes?
New Mr. Potato Head collectible figures of Superman, Batman and Wonder were unveiled over the weekend at the Toy Fair show in New York City, according to USA Today. This took place courtesy of Warner Bros. Consumer Products and PPW Toys, under a licensing agreement with Hasbro. It marks the first time DC Comics characters have received the “Potato Head” treatment.
“The first one being released is Batman (aka ‘The Caped Cru-tater’) this summer, timed to the release of The Dark Knight Rises in theaters July 20, reported the site. “Superman — with his trademark twirl of hair — and Wonder Woman, who is sporting a classic costume complete with truth lasso, will be available during the holiday season.”
Fans of other DC characters will be glad to hear that even more heroes and even some villains from the DC Universe should be available in 2013.
“This year is the 60th anniversary of Mr. Potato Head, which has become a classic toy over the decades with its interchangeable limbs and accessories — a feature the DC Comics toys will have, as well,” said the site.
Mr. Potato Head has made its way into many geek-friendly properties in recent years. There has been a popular line of Star Wars Potato Heads in stores and at Disney theme parks, Indiana Jones and Transformers spuds, and other superhero Potato Heads based on Iron Man and Spider-Man.
