Like his Pappy, my almost 6 year old son loves the Star Wars movies, games and toys. Every year when his Birthday, Easter or Christmas roll around you’ll find a few Star Wars item on his wish list. When we’re in the toy aisle at a department store he’s always drawn to those toys first.

A few months ago I spotted a Star Wars Darth Vadar Mr. Potato Head over on Amazon and snatched it up for my son. It was part of his Easter gift this past spring. One of the things I like about this over-sized Mr. Potato Head is that all of the pieces store inside it which keeps everything together and nothing gets lost.
The helmet comes off and you’ll store all of the play pieces down inside it. There are a lot of pieces so that kids can change out all of the facial features and experience something different each time they sit down to play with it. It’s made out of a hard plastic material so it will hold up well over the years and can be passed down from child-to-child.
He likes to take it with him when he goes over to Pappy and Nanny’s house for play time. I admit, my Dad totally enjoys sitting down with my son and playing with it. That’s what happens when you get two big Star Wars fans in the same house. They will sit for hours playing with that thing!
If you’re a part of a child who loves Star Wars I highly recommend getting one or two of the over-sized Mr. Potato Heads for your child to play with. Once they grow out of the toy I would save it. A lot of these type’s of toys become collectibles later on down the road.

This is so cute. When my sons were young they would have loved to have a Darth Vadar potato head.
That made me laugh out loud! Good that the helmet comes off for storing the pieces.
This is just too cute with those big eyes. I have never seen one like this before but what a good idea for an Easter gift. I need to check this out on Amazon for my grandson.
This Mr. Potato head is a total crack up. I had no idea that they made these in the star wars theme. I like that you can store all the pieces inside the head. My friend’s grandson would so love this one thanks for sharing.
