Why do I have a feeling that a toy aimed at six-year-olds may not be sufficiently appreciated as a tie-in to a show from the 1960s? Is Paramount going to revamp the "original series" as Star Trek Babies?| 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. |
When I was a child, I spoke and thought and played as a child. But when I grew up, I put away childish things ... except for the ones that are now labelled "collectible figures".
I'm surprised they're not doing JJTrek Potato Heads, since that's the hottest Trek property at the moment. I guess these are pretty much for the die-hard collectors' market.

Goodbye, I guess.

Fascinating.

I see myself as witty, urbane, highly talented, hugely successful with a keen sense of style. Plus of course my own special brand of modesty.

I think you answered your own question about why they opted to go for TOS Trek instead of JJTrek. |

They are not toys, they are action figures.

A friend posted this on their facebook so I just had to share it.
