Mr. PH was invented by George Lerner in 1949 - a potato in which various plastic parts could be inserted to form a character. There were some complaints about the use of a real potato with the toy, so in 1964 Hasbro moved to a plastic head. And the rest is toy history. Mr. Potato Head is in the Toy Hall of Fame. He was famously voiced by the late Don Rickles in the "Toy Story" series.
Naturally, everyone wants to see Mr. Potato Head when visiting the Hasbro factory in Pawtucket. He's always willing to greet guests there, already to pose with a big smile and a wave. By the way, Pawtucket is also the home of Mrs. Potato Head, a relatively new toy.
I wonder what hat size he wears.
