I missed this at Toy Fair, but apparently Hasbro unveiled a brand-new, slimmed down Mr. Potato Head called “Active Adventures Mr. Potato Head.” I’m all for encouraging kids to exercise more, but are we really going to blame the traditional Mr. Potato Head for encouraging childhood obesity?

Poe unleashes the rantings of Rustin Parr upon an unsuspecting world. Today’s topic: action figure distribution.
Happy Friday the 13th! Don’t walk under any ladders today, or go to any summer camps.
