Mr. Potato Head

Everyone loves Mr. Potato Head! And after all these years he’s still going strong as one of the top toys for Christmas 2008. As with many all-time favorites, Mr Potato Head by Hasbro Playskool is simple but lasting fun as children (and let’s admit it – adults too!) rearrange his features on his potato-shaped body. And when he’s not being played with he looks great on the shelf.

The original Mr. Potato Head is the most popular this year – high in bestseller lists. However, there’s lots of choice including kits with extra features and new versions based on popular cartoon and movie characters. These include the Indiana Jones Taters of the Lost Ark, Star Wars’ Darth Tater and Opti-Mash Prime Potato Heads. There are sporting versions available too, for fans of the Boston Red Sox, Chicago Cubs, New York Yankees and more all.

For children aged 2 years and up and starting at around $6 (at Amazon) Mr. Potato Head one of the most affordable top toys for Christmas 2008.
