Editorial Review Movie star, master of disguise, starchy tuber extraordinaire: is there anything Mr. Potato Head can't do? This specimen comes with 25 different features to mix and match, including glasses, ears, mustache, lips, arms, eyes, and hat. There's even a sticking-out tongue, in case he's feeling especially silly. All the pieces tuck inside his body for storage, and the whole shebang packs up into a plastic suitcase for face-making fun on the go. --Mary Park ... Read more Reviews (25) 
Great piece storage
There are quite a few pieces that comes with this version. The suitcase holds everything! This makes clean-up very easy for my kids. The pieces aren't like the traditional pieces that come with the regular Mr. Potato Head. They are funny & brightly colored. Like the traditional version, kids still like to make funny faces and put parts in the wrong place. You can't go wrong with this toy or any other Mr. Potato Head. He is a classic!
Excellent, entertaining, educational toy
I have to agree with the other reviewers that this toy is a toddler pleaser. My daughter got the Mr and Mrs Potato head version of this at age 18 months and she just loves it. (the Mr and Mrs version has one head but "lady" parts like earrings, fancy shoes, bow lips...) She learned the names of all of the parts, including shoes, glasses etc, and quickly is learning the correct place for each part. She carries around the head like a doll and loves to put the pieces into the case and dump them out and so on for what seems like forever. The suitcase comes apart sometimes, but is easy to click back together, is very durable, and a great way to keep the pieces all together. I highly recommend this classic, which (unlike many revamped classic toys) has stayed true to its original concept with the improvement of a storage feature and durable parts. Did the original have a compartment inside the head to store pieces? I can't remember, but this one does, so if we feel like just taking along the head with a few parts we can leave the suitcase at home and still keep the pieces all together. We've had this toy for several months and haven't lost a piece yet, even though it's visited every house in the neighborhood.
Vintage- You could never go wrong
An excellent toy; it promotes motor and gross skills as well as creative thinking; the children are not only proud of their creation but you could determine thier understanding quite a bit. it holds their interest because it provides versatility. Excellent choice.
A great toy revived!
My oldest had to have Mr Potato Head when Toy Story came out. Of course the cardboard box didn't last long & the pieces were scattered & lost but with this set the container is plastic & it is easier to keep the pieces together & hold their attention longer. It is now being played with by child # 3, so I would say it is definitely worth the money. My only complaint would be the container could be a little bigger to allow little hands to put the accessories away easier. But all in all, it is a great toy.
Switch to the suitcase, puh-lease!!!!!!!!
This is very different (and much more fun) from the basic Mr. Potato Head in that the basic version only contained one, non-mix-and-matchable outfit (2 eyes, 2 ears, 1 nose,1 mouth, 1 hat, 1 pair of shoes). This one has 2 -you heard me- 2 mix-and-matchable outfits, just like the Romper Room version we had as kids.
