Childhood Toys Evolved

Tater of the Lost Ark is the New Mr. Potato Head

I want a Tater of the Lost Ark. I love this guy. I will be seeing the latest adventures of Indiana Jones tonight and I will be thinking of Tater of the Lost Ark.

He has shoes, and teeth, and ears and mouth, but more importantly, he has a bull whip. Imagine the fun! Tie a string around him and to the ceiling fan and imagine him swinging through the vines! Get your gummy worms and throw Tater of the Lost Ark in with them. “Snakes, why did it have to be snakes?”
