Editorial Review

Be it a long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away or right here at home in the 21st century, Mr. Potato Head never fails to reinvent himself. For generations this spectacular spud has wowed us all with his ability to keep up with the times. Now he throws us all for a loop once again to reveal that even he has a Dark Side, taking up the role of the most menacing movie villains of all times: Darth Vader. Donning the trademark black helmet, mask and cape, our favorite tuber wields the infamous red lightsaber to become his own Darth Tater. Of course you’ll still find all the classic accessories like the googly eyes, red nose, and silly tongue we’ve come to love but now with an added twist of Star Wars. As always, all the pieces still fit away inside his body for easy storage.--Chip Quinn ...

Luke - Use the Forks !!!
I'd say I'm embarrassed to tell you how many stores I went to looking for this and how many trips it took me to said stores. But I'm not.

Somewhere somone was saying "This is not the toy you want" .... but I ignored that Obi-Wan-ism and prevailed. Unfortunately I've been on the 'wait list' here @ amazon for months....and no luck (not their fault - Hasbro isn't saturating the market I guess). I refused to pay $20 and up on ebay for a less than $7 toy.

But it's not a toy.It proudly sits on my desk at work for all to admire, "oooh and aaah" over and laugh about. And they do.

I could care less about educational value or durability.It sits on my desk!!!!

(and yes, I bought two!...one to keep in the original packaging.)

I love tater head!
We all had one growing up, but it never had this many pieces! It is awesome!

A true classic
I loved it as a kid, and now my two year old does too. He loves putting all the pieces on even if they're not in the right spot. He has two potato heads, so they're "friends". This is a great toy for toddlers, it keeps them busy and lets them be creative.

Potato fun
I bought this toy for my 19 month old daughter. She loves putting the pieces in, taking them out and putting them in different locations. We have had this for a week and she still asks to play with it.

I had two small issues with this toy. Straight out of the box some of the slots are a little too tight for the pieces to fit easily. Once an adult fits the pieces in a couple of times the problem goes away. My other issue is the briefcase. It is hard to fit all the pieces back in again for storage. Also, the latch doesn't hold very well, and the case pops open when it shouldn't. ... Read more

OK GAME
This is an ok kids handheld game.I agree w/everyone else that it definately needs an off switch.My daughter keeps hers in my car so instead of sounding off in the middle of the night it sounds off with every turn I make!Also sometimes my daughter is trying to push the buttons to select the answer and they do not work.She is continuously yelling "I did push it!" as if the game can understand her:)Overall it is a good idea though and has different levels for beginers.You can just chose different body parts to make a silly potato or it will flash an already made potato and then you have to choose the correct parts,very good memory game(plus some more games that I have not personally tested).It is a little loud and of course being a potato head ithas an annoying voice but has been well played with by my 4 year old.

my son never laughed so hard
My son recently received this as a second hand gift from his 7 year old cosin. The toy lasted 3 solid years in her hands and only 4 days in my son's. Only due to the fact that he hit the screen with a toy hammer. This toy captured my son's attention. He actually sat in one spot motionless for almost an hour. I have never heard my son laugh so hard as to when Mr. Potato head sneezes and says,"oops, I've lost all my parts". As for the "off" switch, it turns itself off there fore saving the batteries, and it only turns itself back on unprovoked when the batteries are dying.

A busy Mom
My daughter is five and loves this toy. I was actually shocked to see so many poor reviews. The automatic shut off isnt that bad, it's actually a blessing if you ask me, It prompts the child to play (pay attention) about 4 times and then shuts itself off.

My daughter loves the different activities it offers, and she just totally gets a kick out of making Mr. Potato head dress silly. ... Read more
