Mr. Potato Head

In comparison to Furby, Mr. Potato Head is significantly less advanced. However, when it comes to popularity, the latter will give a good fight. This iconic potato with a lush mustache, attachable ears, nose, eyes, hat, mouth, and pants, originated in the 1950s and was a child’s dream to have. It was invented by George Lerner in 1949 and Hasbro became the first distributor in 1952.

In addition, Mr. Potato Head holds the credit for being the first advertised toy on television. Although the production was continuous, the popularity subsided at some point. However, it regained fame in the 1990s solely because of Disney Pixar’s animated film Toy Story. This time Mr. Potato Head had a partner, Mrs. Potato Head.
