The new 1970’s head was larger than it’s 1960’s counterpart. But they were relatively close to the size of today’s current Mr. Potato Head body. These heads had slightly more squared off features than any other Potato Head.
Here are five different boxes containing the same parts. From the top is set #2065 from 1973, and set 265 in 3 different boxes. Last is the 1970's Mr. Potato Head from Australia. Some of the plastic potato bodies have a copyright on their back, and some do not.
