Captain James T. Kirk, Now Available in Potato Head Form!

by Jamie Frevele | 1:32 pm, January 28th

I think this clearly opens up the possibility of a Mr. Potato Head-centered Toy Story spinoff, and that’s either wonderful or terrible.

Set to be released at this year’s Toy Fair, a new line of Star Trek-themed Mr. Potato Heads will include not only the highly accurate representation of Captain James T.
