Mr. Potato Head is pretty cool but he’s got nothing on this guy, his nutty cousin? Potato’s too reserved, too straight, too square. While Mr. Head is going to work, Mr. Hand Puppet (with detachable facial elements) is out boozing, womanizing and scaring kids. He’s ugly no matter which way you assemble him, ugly as a bald Nosferatu style vampire potato, ugly with the hair and a nose combo, ugly with a side profile… …but that’s exactly what makes him so outrageous, so decadent, so wild!
