CLONE TUBER
The long loved and beloved Hasbro / PlaySkool Mr. Potato Head has once again made the jump into the Star Wars franchise for the fourth time. What else would hardcore Star Wars fans want from the makers of Star Wars products and Mr. Potato Head? At first you got Mr. Potato Head walking down the path of the Dark Side as Darth Tater. Next he walked with other spuds in the ranks of the Spudtroopers. Then with a smaller (Potato Head Kids Body?) Mr. Potato Head became Artoo-Potatoo. Now he got mashed and has been transformed into a Clone Tuber.

Equipped with his laser masher and clone armor to save his skin, this Clone Tuber has sworn his allegiance to the Galactic Republic to keep the galaxy from getting fried, Juliann, or mashed by the evil Separatist Forces and their cooking oil!
.

Mr. Potato Head / Clone Tuber comes packed in a nice window box with all the classic Mr. Potato Head accessories:

#1 - The all known famous classic potato body
#2 - Classic ears
#3 - Classic nose
#4 - Classic set of teeth
#5 - Classic pair of eyes
#6 - Classic set of ears
#7 - a pair of Clone Tuber shoes
#8 & #9 - Clone Tuber Arms
#10 - Face Plate
#11 – Helmet
#12 – Laser Masher


To store your Classic Mr. Potato Head parts (that you probably will not use since you are a member in the ranks of Clone Tubers) you can open up his rear end and shove all those parts into his cavity.

Then when you want to convert the Clone Tuber back to Mr. Potato Head you can once again open up his rear end and let it all come out. This time though Mr. Potato Head can't shove all those parts inside of him. He is going to have to find a place for his Helmet and Face Plate. I guess that is where the box that he came in comes in handy.

And have you wondered what the face of a Clone Tuber looked like under that helmet? Man if I had a face like everyone else in the ranks I would also wear the helmet all the time.
