Potato Heads learn football

Since its invention in 1949, Potato Heads have come along way. Originally they were sold as a kit of plastic parts that you stuck into real potatoes but government legislation soon stopped this as it was deemed dangerous with kids sticking parts into their siblings. It was also the first toy that was ever advertised on national television.

Since the original Mr Potato Head was a bit lonely Mrs Potato Head was created (but ever since she started moaning Mr Potato Head has regretted this decision!) and along came the accessories.  He has also appeared in movies (most famously the Toy Story trilogy) and has been a “spokes potato” for several causes (including being the “front potato” for the American Cancer society commercials by Burger King).

Now Mr Potato Head has left the misses at home and found a passion for football (typical male I hear you say) and is now available as  Mr Potato Head Manchester United, Mr Potato Head Liverpool, Mr Potato Head Chelsea and Mr Potato Head Arsenal.

Test Tube Aliens

 

Naratuko, their home planet, is dying. The environment in the test tube recreates that of Naratuko until a new suitable planet can be found for them to colonize.

 

Their Planet has habitable sloog swamps, much like the continent on earth, so their natural living environment deems they may be raised in a sloog environment which contains their food & nutrients and protects them from drying out.


Due to the size of their planet and the speed which it rotates around its suns, one year on Naratuko equates to one earth day, our daytime being their summer, our night their winter. On Naratuko it is light all summer and dark all winter so to maintain perfect health the aliens prefer to see 12 hours continuous light followed by 12 hours continuous dark.

The Aliens breathe through the tips of their antennae, and for perfect health they like to remain covered in sloog, with just the tips of their antennas protruding. If completely immersed in sloog they will start to drown, and if not given enough they will starve and dry out. The Aliens will grow to their maximum size over a period of about 14 days making them the equivalent of teenagers on their own planet, and they can live to over 200 years Old on their own planet!

Product Features:

  • Adopt, hatch and raise your own Electronic Test Tube Alien!
  • There are 6 Electronic Test Tube Aliens to collect. 3 Good Aliens and 3 Evil Aliens
  • Each Alien comes as a chrysalis which hatches when submerged in water.
  • As you bring life to your unborn Alien it will detect light and its electronic heart will start to beat.
  • Over a 7-10 day period your Alien will grow about 8 times it's birth size!
  • Recommended Age Range 7 – up
