Who'd have thought Mr. Potato Head would enjoy such a long and distinguished career?Originally introduced in 1952, it was the first toy advertised on television, and its popularity sent children running into the kitchen to beg a potato from Mom. It came to life again in Disney's Toy Story movies decades later, where it was immortalized as a bona fide icon of the childhood toy box.Now the beloved spud gets the royal treatment in our special 50th anniversary kit, containing new and improved 50th anniversary facial parts, potato, and body, plus a wonderfully entertaining full-color book on the history of one of America's favorite playthings. With enormous nostalgic appeal, this kit appeals to everyone from adults who owned a Mr. Potato Head kit in the 1950s to a new generation of youngsters drawn to a simple toy that encourages fun, imaginative play.
