Normally when it comes to movie merchandise we like to see highly detailed creations, be they statues of the characters or movie props. But when the Mr Potato Head toy was first adapted (remember the Imperial Spudtrooper??) we thought to heck with all that, this is very silly but great fun! Obviously a lot of you agreed and over the last 2 or 3 years we’ve seen more characters given the Potato Head treatment, including Spider Spud and Optimash Prime; now one of the greatest action movie heroes of all time joins them with Indiana Jones: Taters of the Lost Ark! You know there are some terrific looking Indy items coming up (this 12″ figure is amazingly detailed), but I think this is my favourite so far. I wonder, if that giant ball that chases him at the start of Raiders rolled over this version would he become mashed spuds?
