The Mr. Potato Head Thread

[Drtooth]

Another interesting note about the worlds' most famous spud, when he was first created and manufactored, a lot of parents actually HATED Mr. Potato Head, cause back than they didn't have the plastic potato they do now and kids had to get their own potato to put the body parts into, a lot of people thought that was a waste of food.

The plastic potato, while restrictive of facial feature placement is nothing short of an improvement over the original. You cannot have a REAL potato sit at the corner of a desk or on a book shelf. Well, you can technically, but it's not recommended.

Oh yeah of course the plastic one is MUCH better, not debating that one, .

Oh and just in case no one know what I'm talking about with that Toy Story Collection Mr. Potato, check it out, it's pretty cool. I got my Lotso today too.

Not to mention the wonderous invention that is... the TATER TUSH, where you can shove all of his body parts up his potato ***!

I like the plastic potato body we have now, but I understand it, the plastic potato bodies used to be smaller and darker... I haven't seen any of these types of Potato Heads firsthand, but I believe Pee-wee had one in his first movie.

I just have to say... I don't really get why "Mr. Angry Eyes" has become such a cult-favorite with fans, because we never really saw Mr. Potato Head with his angry eyes... we saw Mrs. Potato Head pack them up for him, but we never saw him wear them...

I think it was just that classic line from Toy Story 2.

Perpare to meet...Mr. Angry Eyes. Than puts his shoes on his eyes.

If you're ever at a local Toys "R" Us check out that Mr. Potato Head from the Toy Story Collection if they have it. The way he talks is pretty cool, not the most impressive of the Toy Story Collection series, but still pretty cool none the less.

I saw them at Walmart while looking around, amazingly (you'd think that would be like a Toys-R-Us exclusive or something, like those Potato Head accessory packs).

Still, I purchased just a regular Toy Story edition Mr. Potato Head to replace the one I lost years ago... great to have him again... I have somehow managed to save a pair of lips that I gave him instead to make him even more like the movie.

It's rather bizarre, but still somewhat amusing.

I actually caved in and bought that Woody verison of Mr. Potato Head, .

Bump.

I never had a real MPH but I loved the Potato Head Kids tv series (I had vhs of) and the little toys of them
