This guy is such a nut, everybody's just crazy about him! Since his introduction in 1916, to help advertise the sales of the country's first roasted peanut company, Mr. Peanut has become one of the nation's best-known advertising characters. Based on the original drawing of a 14-year-old boy, the ever-dapper Mr. Peanut eventually added a top hat, white spats, ebony cane, and monacle to his unique ensemble. He may never make the cover of GQ, but no one will ever be able to crack his top spot at Planters/Lifesavers Co.

This blue, molded plastic mug is one of the simplest renderings of Mr. Peanut in the CreatAbiliToys collection. He is just one color -- blue -- and not even his traditional color at that! His features are embossed, with no painted details at all.
