"Get me the princess. I want her alive." We at gadgetshop HQ challenge you to assume the deepest mechanical growl of James Earl Jones, the statuesque presence of David Prowse and the plastic body of a small (but somewhat flexible) potato-shaped device. Put them all together and what has one got? Yes. The very incarnation of Darth Tater, in Mr Potato Head form. Aided and abetted by his ever-faithful Spud Trooper, Darth is back to lead the Empire in a duel to the death against the forces of the Rebel Alliance and its fearless droid Artoo Potatoo. And, like all Potato Heads, he comes with layer upon layer of clothing and accessories to deliver the most authentic evil-looking ground-based vegetable spin-off toy imaginable. Tater not only possesses his trusty black cape and bucket-like life support helmet, but also an authentic-looking (if small) light sabre. These elements are perfectly offset by a set of trademark Potato Head Eyes, which can have a rather unsettling effect late at night after a few Appletisers. The force is strong in this one, if you haven't already guessed. And it's there to be unleashed.

Potatoriffic! Yes I know it's a kid's toy but I think this is an iconic symbol of youth that looks damn cool. It fuses 2 kids favourites, Mr Potato Head and Star Wars, into something that looks fun just sitting on your desk/on a shelf, etc. I have mine on a shelf at home in the front room and I think it looks great. Side benefit, when my nieces & nephews are around they can actually use it as a toy! This works especially well when you consider I have the spud trooper as well. If you have kids, buy it for... more info
Do not understimate the power of the sauce I have Darth Tater sat on my desk on work, and I don't care if people think I'm mad. I'm surprised that Lucas allowed Hasbro to use its Star Wars license to make this Mr Potato Head interpretation, but it's a welcome, humorous addition to the ever-expanding list of licensed products. Collectables are a lucrative business after all! Toy(!) with the endless configurations if you must, but I like Darth Tater in his best Darth Vader impression most of all.
Star Wars - The Trilogy Darth Tater is brilliant, then Spud Trooper came along and now.... Playskool Mr Potato Head Artoo-Potatoo with Princess Tater ... I can't wait! Well I have to! Until 30th May 2006 unless anyone knows different? A great toy for young and old just add imagination. May the sauce be with you!
Baked or boiled? Mr Potatoe Head will suit everyones taste My 2 year old son would love to have a Mr Potatoe Head to play with, since they are fun, interesting and easy to use. However, my son will just have to live with dissappointment for the time being because I have just 'installed' Darth Tatter and Spud Trooper on my work desk.
