I just thought I would let you know that I will be selling my #2000 Slim Dandy potato head in the box on ebay this week item number 260400377054 It is complete to the point that the cellafane package that holds the extra parts has never been opened and is still stapled to the cardboard insert. It appears that the items have never been removed from the cardboard. Thought you might like it for your collection, Thanks Rick Hello.

Man I wish I still had those, they were cool. Did anyone else have those?

I know it's an old practice, but at least June Foray & Nancy Cartwright are convincing! Don’t you love commercials where it’s obvious the little boys’ cartoon voices are women?

But it might also have had to do with mothers finding said "Lovecraft" versions of the potato head creatures in kids' rooms or around the house! Ray,

Are they scared the little darlings might actually get dirt on their fingers? I can sort-of see the removed pipe due to political correctness, but why no real potato?

The results could have come right out of a Lovecraft story. There are few things more terrifying than to put Mr Potato Head parts on a real potato, then leave it in a dark place for a few weeks.

I'm guessing that it was a thrift store or garage sale purchase, but still. I remember that it wasn't easy to push the pieces through the skin of a potato.
