Let's be honest, Spiderman is by far the coolest superhero. Natty costume, slick moves, hot girlfriend, smart one-liners - he's got the lot. That said, we're not sure how he'd fair if he were a potato.

The reason we're wondering is because Mr Potato Head, that lovable plastic spud who just loves dressing up, can now be transformed into your friendly neighbourhood webslinger. No, we've no idea either!

Well actually we have, because we've carried out exhaustive research (okay we read the box) into how Spiderman got mixed up with a jovial root vegetable. Apparently, when Peter Parker Potato was bitten by a radioactive spider, he became - wait for it - Spider Spud! With eyes for trouble, this tubby webslinger uses his starchy strength to mash out evil and save the day. As you do.

As well as his snazzy outfit, clip-on section of freshly-slung web and funky blue boots, Spider Spud comes with a whole heap of Peter Parker Potato accoutrements, including nerdy glasses, ears, nose and teeth. This means you can mix and match all the parts to create your own wacky looks. It's like something out of crazy comic book. Hold on, it is!

With Spider Spud, adding potato-based slants to your favourite Spidey/Peter Parker quotes has never been such fun (well okay, it's never been done at all). 'With great power comes great baked taters.' The possibilities are truly, erm, limited.

As well as making a great desktop companion for any potato-loving Spiderman fan (i.e. everyone) Spider Spud is strangely compelling; we guarantee you’ll be unable to resist rearranging his bits and bobs every time you see him. This is my gift, my curse. Who am I? I'm Spider-Spud.
