If they ever did the vampire potato from Darkwing Duck I would probably buy it and just shout otatop at it while my poor girlfriend looks on in confusion.
You can expect to see the solid plastic versions of these digital mock-ups on toy shelves starting this summer, and finally have your DC versions take on their counterparts in a big ol' fry-for-all. No punny names on them, but I'm sure you folks in comments can have a blast trying to come up with some anyway.
Here's the Norse god of Tater. Two more after the jump.
Are potatoes a good source of iron? This one is.
Should we call you Whip-'em X, Logan?

Weird these arent a thing already. I've had a Spiderman potato head for a couple years already.
I love these games! (Rolls up sleeves) Ok what do we have here...
Potatoes au Gravitron
The Inedible Hulk
Galactus and his herald, The Silver Spud
Ant-Man's daughter, Casserole Lang
Sucks they'll never make a Cyclops: He'd have too many 'eyes'!

I've never understood the point of Mr Potato Head. Is it just a collector thing? I can't imagine children playing with them.
@Gallen_Dugall I will tell you what is fun and why we liked them: Get Mr. Potato Head and make him look dapper. Then shove a big Mexican firework through the storage hole in his ass. Light it up and watch this smile put a dent in your mom's fairly new dodge van.
@Gallen_Dugall I'm with you. We never had these things here when I was a kid so I just don't get the appeal at all.

@Gallen_Dugall As a kid I had fun with the basic one. Mixing and matching to make funny faces is a primal kid pleasure. Versions like these that are designed to be just one way - I guess it's like Minimates, superhero Domos, or any other oddball way of doing licensed characters. i don;t always get it, but people like it.

@Gallen_Dugall With the original Mr Potato Head you had to use a real potato. I imagine the original parts are worth some money today to collectors.
@skrag2112 @Gallen_Dugall that I understood as an outgrowth of the recycled toy trend which made some bizarre contributions to the world
