The creators of the famous Mr Potato Head toy have announced a name change. It will now be known as just Potato Head.
Hasbro, the company that makes the toy, said the new branding is being “reimagined for the modern consumer”.
Mr Potato Head first went on sale in 1952 with Mrs Potato Head launched in 1953.
The new rebranded toy will also come with different body parts and clothing options.
The company said the toy will allow children “to imagine and create their own Potato Head family”.
