PAWTUCKET, R.I. (AP) – A spud on the dark side.
That’s how toymaker Hasbro Inc. is promoting its latest Mr. Potato Head figure, “Darth Tater.”
The toy-spud will be available next month, ahead of the May release of “Star Wars: Episode III: Revenge of the Sith,” the latest installment in that film series.
“Darth Tater” will come with a lightsaber, cape and helmet, in addition to the regular Mr. Potato Head accessories like eyes, mouth and nose.
The Pawtucket-based toymaker says kids will be able to “have all kinds of mix n’ match, Mr. Potato Head fun with this wacky spud dressed as the infamous Star Wars villian, Darth Vader.”
The toy will retail for $7.99.
Episode III opens in May.
