Mr. Potato head is getting a new name! Hasbro announced the new and improved Potato Head will also come with a bunch of new accessories for kids to use.
Hasbro will still be selling separate versions of Mr. and Mrs. Potato Head though, so its not like the original concept is being removed completely, but a gender neutral version will be on the shelves soon.
Hold that Tot – your main spud, MR. POTATO HEAD isn’t going anywhere! While it was announced today that the POTATO HEAD brand name & logo are dropping the ‘MR.’ I yam proud to confirm that MR. & MRS. POTATO HEAD aren’t going anywhere and will remain MR. & MRS. POTATO HEAD pic.twitter.com/6I84KrxOLQ

“Hasbro is helping kids to simply see toys as toys, which encourages them to be their authentic selves outside of the pressures of traditional gender norms,” said Rich Ferraro, GLAAD’s chief communications officer, in a statement.
