Galoob has licensed everything from A to T.
At the risk of boring anyone (insert pityed-fool comment about whoever might be bored) I realized that in the issue of Playthings Magazine from July, 1983 those marketing pros at Galoob already had placed a full page ad for their up-coming A Team line. This very issue featured the image of Mr. T inking the deal, so they literally didn't even let it dry first! This image is the very first page once you open the cover, and should remind us all why it's fun and important to remember such recent industry history.
Televisions hottest and baddest team of all just signed with the best.
'Don't forget to circle No. 12 on Reader Inquiry Card'! Man, remember those cards? Those were the days. Now I can take a picture of a 3-D barcode with my iPhone in my issue of Road and Track and automatically watch a streamed video of a Porsche beating a Ferrari on a test track. Pretty wild, but somehow much less charming.
