‘Optimash Prime’ Potatoes in Disguise
by matt @ 9:53 pm. Blogged under Nostalgia, Movies
Being an avid Star Wars memorabilia collector, last year I had to purchase the Star Wars potato heads for my collection, adding Darth Tater, Artoo-Potatoo ‘with Princess Tater’ and Spud Trooper to my desktop decor. Imagine my surprise and joy when on Saturday whilst clothes shopping for my daughter, I found a new potato head, this time in recognition of the latest Transformers movie - it had to be the ultimate transforming Autobot - Optimash Prime!
I wasted no time in buying ‘Mr Patata’ for myself to take to my new place of work which has been lacking potato head character (I didn’t migrate the Star Wars range when I started). I even had the added bonus of not feeling so silly at the checkout because I had a child with me - not that the cashier would have believed I was buying Optimash for my ‘pink adorned’ baby daughter.
I think Optimash is possibly better designed than the Star Wars potato head range, the only downside being he transforms into nothing but a potato. However, you know the Hasbro designers had a lot of fun on this project adding classic ‘potatoed’ straplines ‘Potatoes in Disguise’ and ‘More than meet the fry’ to the packaging – genius!
