That's hilarious!

I like it, great idea.

style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/rofl.gif lol that is one of the strangest things ive ever seen

[darthimmus]

With the injuries Anakin sustains, shouldn't the potato be replaced with a french fry? style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.gif

[Katarn]

I like it, I hope we see more figures like that, not only Tater.

[Dani_Maul]

I'm gonna pick it up. I love the ol' potato head, so why not a Darth Tater? style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/tongue.gif Not to mention, who can resist the power of the dark tater? style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/tongue.gif

[bigscreensatellite]

you know this is a clever idea...

lots of opportunities for accessories - like leia style 'bun' hair

yoda ears
binks ears.../ tounge

[Max Starkiller]

I still want a potato Grievous

[Tane Kyja]

I so want a Darth Tater...how cute is that anyways....

[Darth Darthy]

That's a joke. The whole point of Mr Potatohead was to use the interchanging bits.. are we gonna get some Darth Tater Skins for the Burnt Ani version? Missing some arms and legs perhaps?

Too many folks collecting any old crap nowadays. No wonder they say Star Wars is a licence to print money.

[Horse_Head]

I just don't like "Cute and loveable Vader"

Evil Vader is much, much better style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/w00t.gif

But it's part of Palpy's master plan you see. He wants to show the galaxy a kinder, gentler all-encompassing and oppressive Evil Empire. You know, one with teddy bears and Sith tubers that love to play with the kiddies while the parents toil away in the spice mines of kessell.

Besides, at least Vader hasn't signed up to be a contestent on Extreme Makeover yet.

darth tater...what strange items will they think up next?

Mr. Potato Head was seduced by the dark side of the Force... style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink.gif

He ceased to be Anakin Spudwalker and became Darth Tater. So what I told you was true, from a certain point of view... style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/rofl.gif

Thanks. style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.gif I think Basil rather suits me, at times, I'm afraid... style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink.gif

[bigscreensatellite]

there is a kind of link between Mr Potato Head and a potential liecence with Lays / Walkers (in the UK), as they have just signed a deal with Hasbro to liscence crisps (chips) called potato heads...

i have a feeling that if LFL renew their licence with Lays / Walkers that there could be a tie in with the Darth Tater figure and the Potato Head Crisps (well at least here in the UK)....(as a point of ref: Lays/Walkers - had a premium that ran during TPM)

anyway - thought you might wanna know...

Meh. They're cute, and great for kids (these are toys after all) but not interesting enough to me to my spend money on.

But if they do a Clonetater or an Obi-Spud Kenobi, count me in. style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.gif

I still haven't gotten a Darth Tater yet. They sold out so quickly that I didn't get one.

Although I might have to purchase one later and get a couple Stormtroopers as guards. I like unique toys like this.

[Valin Kenobi]

Jayson, what I meant was an AOTC-style Clone Trooper.

[Bretsch]

^I don't think that one could be that cool. There's something about stormtroopers banging their heads against doors, and a Storma Tater, that clicks right into place style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.gif

[Horse_Head]

I scored one at Target today for $6.99 ... not too shabby for a tuber

[Valin Kenobi]

You know, there's a whole 'nother problem nobody brought up: figuring out where Darth Tater fits in the Sith succession. Was he Sidious' first, failed apprentice before Maul? Or does he date from an earlier era -- was he Darth Bane's apprentice?

Personally I suspect he was Plagueis's Master.

[bigscreensatellite]

just seen the news on the Spud Troooper...i'll be picking tis up to add to my Darth Tater...for sure...

are any more expected in the pipeline?

[Bretsch]

^I'm not shure, but I for one would love to see a Boba Tater (or what ever name you wish to give him), and a whole line of Clone Taters could be great too.

[bigscreensatellite]

rather than just buying another tater in every instance, i'd sorta like to buy a set of Star Wars Accesories to stick on my current taters ( i have two already)...

Anyone know when the Spud Trooper is supposed to be released?
