Galoob Mr. T Catalog

[RSS]

In the early 1980s, a gentle, gold chained covered giant came into our households and told us to read the bible and drink our milk and in doing so, captured our hearts. Mr. T was exactly what Regan era America was looking for, a straight laced tough guy whose look hinted at rebellion.

The ensuing "T Mania" storm was hard and fast with merchandise pouring out everywhere, riding the crest of this was Galoob, who made one of their smarter decisions in captilizing on America's unlikely sweetheart:



America was never the same.

And don't worry, it's completely hack joke free, no mentions of "Pity" or "Fool", that's a promise I stand by.

i remember galoob and all the mr. t figures/ toys that came out! i still have the a team figures. sadly galoob is no longer in business and biotech giant genentech now occupies their headquarters in south san francisco, ca. i've driven by wondering if there were any mr t toys left somewhere on the premises.

^I'm sure there are. With a name like that for the company that sits there now,you have to wonder what evil plans they must be cooking up with those Mr. T figures. I shudder to think.

I found that 12" Mr. T at a toy show in 1991. I had him for a whole 2 years, before one of my kids accidentally stepped on his arm and shattered it. (really CHEAP plastic!). I tried to glue him back together, but it was no use. Mr. T wound up in the trash heap.

I was at my mom's over the weekend and I found my 12in Mr. T , his leg is broken at the hip but he is still cool. Someone jacked him for his gold chains. I remember when I was a kid seeing the Mr. T comercials on saturday morning cartoons while eating my Mr. T cereal wanting that Big Mr.T so badly and my mom got him for me one day and I took him everywhere. Remember the Mr.T Burger King comercial LOL too funny!
