9-Year-Old Girl Takes On McDonald's CEO
Denise Albert: Mamarazzi
Incredibly odd toy combo
Filed under: Toys
Remember in the movie, Big, when Tom Hanks is working for a toy company, and he "doesn't get" the new Transformer toy proposed by a company executive? That exec wanted to make a giant, man-eating bug, that could transform into a building, and I agree with Josh (Hanks' character) -- it was a dumb idea.
Almost as dumb as this real-life Mr. Potato Head/Transformer combo. Whose idea was it to randomly combine two completely unrelated toys and try to sell it to kids?
Don't get me wrong, I love Mr. Potato Head -- his creation was a work of genius -- and I saw the original Transformers cartoon movie about 5,000 times when I was a kid. Those action-packed robots were my heroes.
This, however, is lame. For starters, there's no way the rest of the Autobots would take orders from a potato, and I seriously doubt this dude could fight off the Decepticons.
That said, his name is "Optimash Prime," which is hysterical, and has to count for something.

Justin Hoffman said...There is a Darth Tater, Spud Trooper, R2 Potatoo, and Spidey Spud. Good Luck finding the last 2 Hasbro has made a point to make these very limited and I know that you can ebay or amazon them, but to find them in stores is quite difficult. I think that it is a great way to bring back an American Classis like Mr. Potato Head.
