Y'all need to through louder hissy fits.. They're not really backtracking. They are just making other 'kits'.. End every protest letter with, "Can you hear me now"? Better yet, hit them where their wallet is, don't buy their crap!

Stop feeding the beast..

Now Hasbro has decided to announce again that the ‘Mr. Potato Head’ will not be going anywhere as well as Mr. and Mrs. will remain as their own characters. It is more obvious now when the first announcement happened, the company wanted to test the waters as to how the internet would react.

Daily Mail reported, “The new range will also include box sets that don’t present the traditional family structure so children can make same-sex or single-parent potato families in line with changing societal roles.”

Some saw the decision as “Just a marketing gimmick designed to increase demand for both the old ‘Mr. Potato Head’ product and the new ‘Potato Head’ product.”

I hope people realize the Mr. Potato Head thing is just a marketing gimmick designed to increase demand for both the old "Mr. Potato Head" product and the new "Potato Head" product
