That's Mr. Potato Head to you! A special thanks to Hasbro for sending me this EPIC Toy Story 4 "Andy's Playroom Potato Pack"—an incredible 61 piece set featuring seven mini Potato Head characters (Bo Peep, Woody, Bunny, Ducky, Forky, Duke Caboom and Buzz Lightyear) and the newest full scale versions of both Mr. and Mrs. Potato Head (not to mention a bunch of extra parts). This entire pack is adorable in every sense, not to mention an amazing value for what you get!
This set only costs $37.99, which is crazy considering it would be about $60 if you were to get each of these toys individually. If you're looking to get all these for yourself or your kids anyway (Christmas will be here before we know it), getting this pack is the way to go; no brainer.
Here's the back of the box showing everything you get. What an assortment!
And here's what it looks like upon opening. Everything is nicely sorted in baggies and the box makes a great storage container that I recommend keeping.
Let's start with a closer look at each of the minis all assembled. Aren't these just too hilarious and adorable? They're not only fun to put together and display, but kids will love mixing and matching pieces! I played with these with my six year old nephew and that was his favorite aspect. We had some good laughs.
Each mini is about 3" to 3.5" tall when assembled.
BO PEEP
WOODY
BUNNY
DUCKY
FORKY
DUKE CABOOM
BUZZ LIGHTYEAR
Both Buzz Lightyear and Duke Caboom have cool additional pieces that plug into their backs—Duke's cape and Buzz's jet pack/wings.
Ok, now for Hasbro's/Playskool's latest version of Mr. and Mrs. Potato Head. There have been many versions of these over the years and I'll start by saying these are absolutely some of the (if not THE) best and most movie accurate ones yet (a million times better than what was released for Toy Story 3). However, somehow there are still plenty of missing details and inaccuracies. They're on the right path though! It's just strange to me that after almost 25 years, they still haven't made a perfect replica of either of these characters (even the Signature Collection release by Thinkway Toys has its issues).
Here's a list of some of the most obvious problems that keep these from being 100% film accurate:
- Mr. & Mrs. Potato Head's eyes are one piece, not separate
- Mr. & Mrs. Potato Head don't have any eyebrow pieces
- Mr. & Mrs. Potato Head's feet are one piece, not separate
- Mr. & Mrs. Potato Head have an extra hole on their sides
- Mr. Potato Head's shoes should be a deeper, more vibrant blue
MR. & MRS. POTATO HEAD
Mr. Potato Head is about 7" tall and Mrs. Potato Head is about 7.5" tall (due to her shoes being a little taller). The pieces are sturdy, hard plastic (some of the older versions' pieces were more of a soft plastic) and secure to the potatoes quite well. These feel solid all around once assembled.
What do YOU think of this set? It's a winner for me and I'm gonna go ahead and give this a huge recommendation. See them all displayed together in my Instagram photo below! I just love how cute and colorful this whole set looks—so incredibly cheerful.

You can purchase this set on Amazon (direct link below) or Target's website HERE. If you don't want this entire set, you can get Mr. and Mrs. Potato Head separately (which I've also seen at Target). The Ducky, Bunny, Woody and Buzz minis are available in a 4-pack. Duke, Bo Peep and Forky minis had single pack releases. Here are all the Amazon links you'll need...
