Toy Fair 2011 is now over. I always enjoy attending. I get to fly to New York, drink with friends, and see all of the toys coming out this year. I now know what to spend my money on. However, I also know what I don’t want to spend my money on. If there is one thing the collective fan media is good at, it’s bitching and moaning.

Well it was bound to happen we now have Star Trek Mr. Potato Heads! According to StarTrek.com:

PPW Toys will release Star Trek Mr. Potato Head collectible figures in a series of TOS-centric sets, and they’ll kick it off with Captain Kirk—going from stud to spud—and his old Klingon foe, Kor. Subsequent sets will include Mr. Spock and Lt. Uhura, for example, and they may also feature familiar TOS equipment and Enterprise components.

These aren’t being released by Hasbro so my guess is that you will only be able to get these online.

Hasbro has released the first look at the new GI-JOE cartoon. The HUB Network website also has the following description:

Branded as renegades for crimes they did not commit, a heroic group of young G.I.s is forced to “turn fugitive” as they battle to clear their names, and expose the evil that is COBRA Industries — a seemingly benevolent mega-corporation covertly controlled by a rogues gallery intent on creating a New World Order.

Apparently the original story of who GI-Joe is wasn’t good enough and now they just substituted it with the A-Team.
