Toys and Games Reviews of Playskool Mr. Potato Head Indiana Jones Taters of the Lost Ark, Idaho Jones Spud
Customer Review: How can you beat an Indy Smirk?
Summary: 5 Stars
It's not educational, but it's extremely novel.
It's a Mr. Potato Head, so I don't think I need to explain about the way you can change his appearance, so let's skip that.
It doesn't come with a ton of extra pieces. Pretty much what you see is what you get - you get a different mouth and that's it. Of course, that's not the point of this particular potato - this is definitely more of a novelty item than your standard Potato Head.
The coolness is in all of the Indy-related stuff. They call the mouth you see in the photos an "Indy Smirk Mouth." There's a whip accessory you can place in the left hand. The right hand holds a golden idol. (The golden idol is molded to the hand - it isn't detachable.) If you push his hat down quickly, he plays a few seconds of the Indy theme; if you push his hat down for a couple of seconds, he'll play the whole theme. His coat is made of a thin colored cloth and can be removed if you take his arms off.
All in all, I like it quite a bit. It's not something I'd hand a toddler because I'm not sure how durable the hat is and I'm sure the coat could be pretty easily destroyed. It's not going to teach anyone anything but how the Indy theme goes, but then, the point isn't education on this one. I've got it on my desk at work and love it, and several people around here have commented on how cool it is, too.
If you're an Indy fan, it's totally worth it.
Customer Review: Taters of the Lost Ark
Summary: 4 Stars
It seems very cute and this is the first potato head I know of that plays music. It does a snippet of the theme song when you push his hat down. As with all potato heads, it does seem to be most fun for my kid when he can mix and match with everything else (Mrs. Potato Head combined with Darth Tater Potato Head combined with Indiana Jones Potato Head combined with Frankenstein... etc, etc you get the idea.)
No real complains. Seemed like a great addition to the series.
Customer Review: Very Cute and Fun!
Summary: 4 Stars
This was a big hit when I bought it last year. The accessories are fun. I think the toy talks when you push the hat down.
This is a wonderful, classic toy that is sturdy and reasonably priced. It is great for the two year old set when there is a limit to what you want to buy them (small pieces). It also works for adult fans of the Indy movie, which is who I bought it for.
Customer Review: Eh.

Not as great as the other "themed" taters out there. The pieces don't fit as nicely into the potato body, the whip doesn't really stay in the hand, and the weight of all the pieces pulls the arms out of the body, which is fine because the jacket doesn't really fit between the ears and the arms, so the whole thing looks and feels a little awkward.Customer Review: nana

This is a very cute Mr. Potato Head. There is a problem with it being top heavy and falling over all the time. If it could stand without falling, it would be much more fun. I love the music in the hat. A great idea but needs more thought in how to make it sturdy.
