It is
a tale as old as time: the
first pictures from a
new, unannounced figure, a
leak or even simply
the first pictures to hit the internet are always taken with a
potato camera (
can also be taken with a ham sandwich, depending on the region). But how to select
the best potato to make sure that your pictures have this
starchy, grainy, blurry look?
ToyFarce investigated...
We have asked action figure collector and potato expert
Steven from Wisconsin which
potato variety would be the more suitable to deliver the best first pictures online:
"
I would recommend a Yukon Gold of decent size. This is, to me, the best potato to make sure your pictures will be terrible. I have tried with various red potatoes or even sweet potatoes for fun, but the results have always been better when using a Yukon Gold. There's something about that creamy texture and almost buttery flavor. In terms of texture, Yukon Golds fall between the starchy russet and the waxy red potato, which makes them a great all-purpose option that's well-suited to a number of culinary applications and toy photography."
There you go, folks! Get to your nearest
produce section, grab some
Yukon Golds and take the best first pictures for the internet!

For a sharper image, I'd recommend new potatoes, when it's the season."
