Toy Story 3 Buzz Lightyear Mr Potato Head
The earliest Mr Potato Head was produced back in 1952, and was the first toy ever advertised on TV. The original version had parts designed to be stuck into a real potato to make a face, but the plastic vegetable has been around since1964.
The latest high frying incarnation of the spud we all love takes the concept to infinity and beyond! Playskool’s Buzz Lightyear Mr Potato Head - aka Spud Lightyear - lets young children dress their favourite plastic vegetable up to become the space voyaging movie character from the Toy Story 3 movie.
Buzz Lightyear Mr Potato Head comes with traditional body parts like eyes, teeth, arms and a nose, along with shoes. But he also comes with everything the astronaut needs, including jetpack, backplate, visor and chestplate. Put the jetpack where the nose should be or eyes where there should be teeth to create a crazy looking face - the wackier the look, the better!
To make life that little bit easier, the parts store handily inside the potato body when not being used.
Young astro-tots aged two - and older - will love Buzz Lightyear Mr Potato Head, priced very reasonably from around £9.99. No batteries or complicated set-up required - just start making silly faces right away!
When it opened in the UK, Toy Story 3 overtook The Twilight Saga to result in the biggest ever opening weekend for any film in Britain. This extraordinary popularity is likely to be repeated with Mr Potato Head Buzz Lightyear as it becomes a hot Christmas toy for 2010. If it’s on your child’s Christmas toys list, grab one now.
