    Considering that all of the other cross promotional Potato Heads have had "potato related" names (Darth Tater, Optosmash prime, Idaho Spud), what's Bumble-bee's tater name? BakedBee?

    If I could get one.... maybe I'd pimp him out with some gold trim and call him GoldSpud!

    Why? It's not like Optimash went flying off the shelves. my local TRUs had a crapload and now are on clearance for half off.

    Probably one of the reaons it's a UK exclusive, fewer need to be made as it's a smaller market, and generally we pay more for TF related stuff...

    Haha, on first glance I thought it was a Homer Simpson toy. Thankfully once you actually look at it, it resembles BB. Nice job.

    Hey guys. Thanks for the comments. Just realize that this isn't a full size item and is meant as a promotional item. It will be bundled with a non-TF item. For what it is, I'm very happy with it.

    The internal name we are using is Bumblespud but I don't know what the final word on that will be.

    Thanks again.
