Playdoh Playskool Mr. Potato Head

Product Information

Mr. Potato Head was invented and manufactured by George Lerner in 1949, but was first distributed by Hasbro in 1952. [1] It was the first toy advertised on television [2] [3] and has remained in production since. News of the name change emerged at an investors meeting on Thursday. Hasbro later tweeted about it, assuring fans that although the brand name is changing, the characters of Mr. and Mrs. Potato Head “aren’t going anywhere.” Those character names will still appear on the boxes under the new brand name.

[8] History [ edit ] Dropping the "Mr." from its name could encourage other companies to not assign genders to toys, a trend that has already been happening, said Mierzejewski. Barbie maker Mattel released a gender neutral doll line in 2019. But Mr. Potato Head, which has been around for about 70 years, is one of the biggest brands to do so. For the uninitiated, the Potato Head is simple in concept. It’s a plastic potato with a set of removable features including goofy protruding ears, eyes, glasses, mustache, feet and arms. The product has long been called “Mr.” but it included a “Mrs.” and baby spuds as well.

Hasbro created confusion on Thursday when it removed the gender from its Mr. Potato Head brand, but not from the actual toy. Mr. Potato Head has also appeared as the host in all installments of the popular video game series Hasbro Family Game Night. He also appeared in several Toy Story-based video games along with Toy Story Activity Center.
