Advantages: Classic childs toy made even more fun, made of very durable plastic, looks great!
Disadvantages: Quite expensive now.
Mr Potato Head is back, to fight the evil villains and to save the world! With his spider costume on it is hard to recognise the lovable character that everyone has grown up to love. He has now become..... "Spider Spud".
I bought this a couple of years ago not long after it came out from Amazon for the great price of £6.99. I have always wanted a Mr Potato Head and this one caught my eye. It is currently sat on my shelf in the Spiderman disguise.
From "head" to toe, he measures 18cm tall and is about 9 cm wide and 9cm deep. He comes with the following accessories:
1 x Body
1 x Feet
2 x Arms
1 x Mouth
1 x Nose
2 x Eyes
1 x Glasses
2 x Ears
1 x Spiderman Costume
1 x Spider Web
As he won't be wearing all of this at once, there is an hatch on his back that opens so you can store any spare parts inside him. This has to be one of the most ingenious features of these toys as if the parts are stored in there, you can never lose them. He can be made up as either Peter Parker, Spider Spud or any combination you want. Through his costume there are only holes where the ears, arms and eyes are so that limits you a bit there, but without the costume you can use all of the holes.
One of his arms is posed like he is slinging a web and the Spider web part clips onto it to make it look like there is a web coming from his hand. When he doesn't have the web or costume on, this hand does look a bit weirdly posed but it's not too noticeable.
Like all the other Mr Potato Head products available, it is made of a solid, durable plastic that will take wear and tear very well. Mine has been dropped, trod on and had things spilt on it but it still looks as good as new.
For children or adults, these are great toys to have. You can spend hours playing around with them, changing poses, making them look weird or do whatever you want with it. I was quite bored one night (1st year of Uni) so I made a basic stop motion film with it, which despite only taking 15 minutes actually looked quite good!
Looking on Amazon today, the prices of these have now shot up greatly. For the one I have, you are looking at paying around £20 for it now. If you want just the original Mr Potato Head, then these sell for about £10 and come with a couple more parts. I'm very happy with this overall, especially with the bargain price I got it for. Whenever someone comes over they always comment on it and it looks good on my bedroom shelf.
I'll definitely recommend it if you want something fun to play with but don't want it to be too childish.
