WHAT'S NEW

Potato Power! SMOKO Gives Tayto a Whole New Personality in Series 2!

Well, would you look at that... a potato with more personality than most people we know! The lovable little spud from SMOKO is back for another round of blind-box goodness, and Tayto Potato Series 2 takes this adorable character through an assortment of hilarious situations. From becoming a full-blown superstar to completely losing its cool, striking a yoga pose, and hanging out with some familiar SMOKO friends, Tayto is clearly having a very busy day! There are six possible figures in the new collection, each packed into a mystery box, and honestly, a potato this ridiculous deserves a little space on just about any toy shelf. Especially one that can pull off this many different expressions without having any actual eyebrows!

The lineup begins with Superstar Tayto Potato, bringing a little celebrity attitude to everyone's favorite anxious vegetable. Then there's Starstruck Tayto Potato, who looks like the excitement might simply be too much to handle. And for collectors who prefer a more relaxed approach, Corpse Pose Tayto Potato has apparently decided that lying down and doing absolutely nothing is a perfectly acceptable way to spend the day. Can't really argue with that!

Two additional designs bring some friends into the mix. Tayto Potato and Pearl Boba team up for one figure, while Tayto Potato and Lil B Dumpling share another. These little character pairings are a fun addition to the assortment, especially if you're already collecting other SMOKO characters. There's something about seeing the familiar faces together that makes the series feel like its own tiny, weird world.

And then there's the golden spud! Gold Tayto Potato rounds out the six-design assortment and gives blind-box collectors another reason to cross their fingers before opening. SMOKO hasn't specified the odds for pulling Gold Tayto, so exactly how tricky that one will be to find remains a mystery.

Each figure is made from vinyl and measures approximately 2.25" x 2.5" x 2.5", depending on the sculpt. Blind boxes are priced at $16 each through SMOKO's official online shop. With six possible designs and that ever-present possibility of duplicates, collectors might find themselves opening more than a few boxes before their potato family is complete. The question is... are you going for the gold, or would you be perfectly happy pulling a Tayto who's just lying on the floor questioning everything?
