It's good to know the figure will be as sophisticated as possible, because when I first saw photos of the "Potato Head" character stationed there in Paradise Pier, I became apprehensive and had visions of something far too reminiscent of a setup at a Chuck E. Cheese restaurant. Or a concept and basic technology that people have grown increasingly jaded about through the years.

Sun 4/6/2008 2:56p | Most of the pictures before December 2007 were taken with a Nikon D200. In late January 2008 I purchased a D300, however I did not get to use that much before loaning it to a family member a month ago. For the past 4 weeks or so I have used a Nikon D40 and I am extremely impressed with the quality considering the price. |

Sun 4/6/2008 3:02p | I've watched the videos -- some of them several times -- and I have to say that I'm a bit underwhelmed.
Not sure why.
I know Don Rickles did the voice, and they worked hard on perfecting the eyes and mouth. And the hand pulls the ear off an all...
Maybe I'm just getting too old and jaded for this stuff.
Anyone else feel this way? |

Sun 4/6/2008 3:40p | Question, just how much voice work did Rickles do? It seems it is going to get real repetitive, real fast.... |

Sun 4/6/2008 4:48p | I have to say that I'm a little underwhelmed too. Sure, he kind of talks to you, but it isn't even as specific as the stuff Roz says (at least what I've seen of it so far), and there are really awkward pauses while they're waiting to get everything planned out. I guess it's neat that he can pull out his ear, but really, who cares? I think there are much more impressive AA's around. Specifically, the Will Rogers one in the American Adventure at Epcot tips his hat (not connected to anything, as far as I could tell) without crushing it (plastic ear won't have that problem), and was able to spin a perfect lasso. I can't even do that, and I have the ability to react to what's happening. Watching a potato pull out its ear really isn't anywhere near as cool as that, IMO. |
