Topless Robot - The 10 Most Pitiful Pieces of Mr. T Merchandise

Cool countdown

I still remember back in the 80's I bought a Mr T rubber full headmask from Spencers.

A short while later I was reading in my local newspaper it was deemed controversial because a rights group said it's African American facial features were too exaggerated.

I wish I still had it ... might be worth a few bucks today

When I was around ten or so, my grandma was diagnosed with Alhemier's Disease. when the dementia set in, she became obsessed with the A-Team and Mr.T. She collected all the toys (for herself, not her ten year old grandson), covered the fridge in Mr.T stickers like a schoolgirl would her locker, and talked about Mr.T all the time. She was extremely upset when the plug was finally pulled on the show. To me, it's a bitter sweet memory, half really funny because of the obsurdedness of it, and half depressing because that show could have been milked for one more year. Anyway, true story, I couldn't make that up.

When I first started teaching pre-school, my class was called The A-Team. I had a big Mr. T poster in my classroom. I have an audio tape called Mr. T's Commandments I used to play for them, and I had the "Mr. T & Me" book series for them too. And of course when I read it, I had to use the voice! At a toy show some years back I bought a Mr. T doll, but it was made of cheap plastic and was accidentally broken by one of the kids I used to babysit.

Funny stuff. Reading this makes me think of the SNL sketch of Mr. and Mrs. T Bloody Mary Mix.

Does that said THE Neal Adams was the artist behind Mr. T and T-Force?

[jwyblejr]

^What's even stranger about that comic is Mr. T has a gun.

That was my first thought as well.

But then again...



It's not odd to see Mr T with a gun... that was the big schtick of the A-Team after all. They were practically NRA Poster Children.


What was fascinating to me was Mr T's appearances on the Howard Stern show in the late nineties. A huge turnabout after spending the eighties with Nancy "Just Say No" Reagan in anti-drug PSA's.

He had become a Pot advocate after it helped him cope with his battle against cancer. Of course he referred to Cancer as if it were a person he was fighting. He made it sound like Pot was to him like Spinach was to Popeye as he fought back against Cancer.

I thought Mr. T was cool for his time. I use to love to watch the A-Team when I was younger to see what kind of stuff they would make out of basically a bunch of junk. Kind of like McGyver. It was also funny watching them have to put Mr. T out because he was too afraid to fly any where.

I still have a Mr. T doll and some sealed wax packs as well as loose cards. Maybe other stuff. I really do not even remember what all I do have anymore. Too much stuff!

I have had several people jokingly call me Mr. T some times because of all of the gold jewelry that I wear. Some even jokingly call it a Mr. T starter kit. My gf just calls me The Money Man. Hence forth my custom figure Money Man.
