Mr potato head

[thelittlemermaid83]

I know there was a thread bout this but i cant seem to find it..

Where can i get a cheap Mr Potato head from in the Uk(argos are sold out)
and will the parts from DLP fix onto it...planning on getting the parts for it as a well done gift for Kyra as potty training is going well

Also how much are the parts??

Im looking on ebay at the Mr Potato surpise with 40 pieces...not sure weather to get it or not.

We sell him in the Disney Store for £10 and you also get lots of bits to stick onto him.

You can buy the potato at DLRP too.
You get your spud and fill him up with all the little bits, ears, nose, arms & legs, lollipops etc, then you should be able to get at least 2 pairs of shoes, a set of Mickey ears and a couple of hats packed around him in the box.
Trust me we managed to get all the essentials and 1 of every add on too in our box last time.

I was looking to buy one when I went last week, but there didn't seem to be a very large choice of special add-ons - and no eyes whatsoever! So I decided against it and went for a Nemo puppet instead lol.

Oh no...do you remember what add ons they have?

 

[thelittlemermaid83]

Thinking of getting this one on ebay unless anyone knows where i can get it cheaper?

I have the worst memory ever, sorry!

I only remember seeing a fantasia hat and a magic wand - there was maybe a couple more available. From what I'd read on here, I was expecting much more!

I'd probably go for the one on ebay - its a pretty decent price and you'll definitely get a LOT more pieces than what you can get at Disney.

 

[thelittlemermaid83]

Ok just brought the one of Ebay ill just get add on pieces at Dlrp.

You can't buy the add-ons separately - you get a box which you fill with pieces for a set price. I seem to remember 15 euros being the price, but again, my bad memory can't be trusted too well lol.

 

[thelittlemermaid83]

someone was saying you could just fill the box with add ons on the earlier thread.

Thats right you can fill the box with whatever you want but its a set price. Most people fill the box with the potatoe head then other pieces but if you already have the head you can just fill it with pieces as you will fit more in. Your best bet is to look when you go and decide if its worth it as by then you'll know what you have in your other set.
I think there are hands like Mickeys as well. You can also go and play with it and make one up - DD and DS did this when we went (I think DS enjoyed it more and hes 21).

We bought a box from WDW when we were there about 5 yrs ago and DD still still plays with it sometimes

Thankyou for clearing that up
Looks like Kyra is going to have lots of part for her Mr Potato head

We bought a box of parts last year for 15 euros. When we got home we realised our existing head had no hole on top for the hats so had to get the electric drill out and make one!!
Last week we had a play with the heads in the disney store in the village, they now have some Incredibles parts.

Thanks for sharing that pic
15 euros isnt too bad of a price.

They're still 15E, but the one in the Disney Village sells different parts to the one in the studios! Hints for max. value: Stuff the potato with eyes, lips, arms, all the smaller bits, then you can fit three pairs of feet in the box! One at the bottom, then place the potato in upside down, then put the other two pairs of shoes down the side. Fill any gaps with arms...

Oh, and if you find a nose, get an extra one and send it to me! It's the only thing we couldn't find!
