Taters of the Lost Ark Idaho Spud

It all started with Darth Tater. Then came just about every Star Wars character one could think of getting turned into our favorite starchy root vegetable. Now, Mr. Potato Head has set his sights on Indiana Jones.

The Taters of the Lost Ark Idaho Jones Spud toy is a Raiders variant of a classic childhood toy (I remember the good ole days when you used real potatoes!). But in addition to standard plastic appendages, Idaho Spud comes with the iconic fedora and pleather jacket, whip, and idol for recovery. It also comes with a small electronic chip and speaker that plays the Raiders theme song. So Mr. Potato Head has gone high tech to boot.

If your kids haven’t gotten into Mr. Potato Head and you’re a Raiders fan, now is the time. And for about $15, even if the novely wears off, it’s a fun looking thing to place on the shelf.

Cue John Williams, please.
