I guess they left them sitting in water too long.

Oh neat. We\'ve had these at Big Lots! for months; I didn\'t realize people didn\'t know about them. Still a very cool find.

These things crack me up. I kinda want the Garbage Pail Kid and KISS ones.

I’m not sure I follow the concern. We’ve had a more traditional version of the Mr. Potato Head Optimus in the recent past. That seems like a reasonable option for people wanting a full Mr. Potato Head option.

These little ones are just for a different audience: someone who is a fan of the particular pop culture icon primarily and just wants a smidge of Potato Head reference as a novelty. They’re also much smaller than a full-sized Potato Head.

Yo is that a Bob Ross potato!? Based.

Never thought I’d see the day that Mr. Goddamned Potatohead would be considered too complex and in need of simplification.

Sooo, rather than simply a potato with add-on limbs and shit, they have actual bodies and the potatoes are now just the heads?
