Andy Mr. Potato Head adding an Elvis version AP Wed Jun 9, 8:35 am ET MEMPHIS, Tenn. The Elvis Presley estate has signed a deal for Hasbro Inc. and PPW Toys to release an Elvis version of Mr. Potato Head. Kevin Kern, a spokesman for Presley's Graceland estate, told The Commercial Appeal the new toy is one of 15,000 Elvis-licensed products and is one the company is excited about. The first of the Elvis potato heads will be released for Elvis Tribute Week in August. The toy will be in a jumpsuit. A second version with the likeness dressed in black leather will be on the market for Christmas. PPW Toys spokesman Dean Gorby said the Elvis Mr. Potato Head will broaden the audience from young fans to adult toy collectors.

Damn!! Thanks, Andy! A good Spudfan/Loudboy you are! Thanks for the heads-up! I'm impressed.

The new record would fit nicely after OH NO! IT'S DEVO--it sounds akin to that album and NEW TRADITIONALISTS.

I think I'm wrong about the blue uniforms--but, they had on simple uniforms, and had the treadmills and rubber hair, I'm pretty sure. I do, however, clearly remember the appearance on SQUARE PEGS.

Actually, any possible combination of their songs is a great setlist, but I could have special-ordered that one.

They OPENED with Sing Me Spanish Techno for goodness sakes! Gonna see them in Oakland in July, I sure hope Bejar/Case are still with them by then.
