I love it when a toy collection comes together.

Jesus I just remembered how much I coveted that 12" Mr. T when I was a kid.

I wish NECA or someone would finally give us some decent A-Team toys.

That commercial song for the 6 inch figures has been stuck in my head for over 30 years.

Can’t believe I’ve only just found this channel. It’s brilliant. I used to have the metal A Team van with sliding door. Also the helicopter which you put the mini van into and it turned the rotor blades. And congratulations for the best analogy I’ve heard yet. “The ginger step child of toy lines”🤣🤣🤣

This was the first set of figures I had the whole set of (the 6 inch ones). They did have a van in a 6 inch scale, but it was from a company called ERTL and you had to stuff them in through the sun roof since none of the doors opened on it. I remember burying them on a beach when I was probably 5 or so and my folks spent hours digging around to find them for me.

Nice video, well put together (just like one of Hannibal's plans). The 3 3/4" figures were seriously done on the cheap, as they recycled parts from pre-existing toyline(s) in all but the head sculpts, hence the clothing or general colour schemes didn't really match what we were used to in the series. I can see that they went for a different 'colour' for each character (as the Real Ghostbusters would do about three years later), but in particular Murdock in orange always seemed off - make him green instead of B.A. to match his famous jacket, at least (although in fairness, B.A. often wore green overalls in the series). Note that there are variants to be found with both Hannibal and Murdock, that use different torsos (again recycled from older molds). The 6" line was a mild improvement, in at least they had recognisable costumes from the TV series, and the facial sculpts were marginally better (B.A. was the best one, though he was the best seller so I'd imagine they put most effort into him), but the bodies and the overall line seemed somehow bland. The Amy one is very rare as not many were made - Melinda Culea left the series mid-second season and they quickly discontinued her. There is an interesting variant regarding Hannibal's head, which can be found in two versions. One has his hair parting on the correct side (his left), with with slightly poorer sculpt, and often bright white hair. There is also a second version, as seen in this video, with the parting on the other side, greyer hair, but a sculpt slightly more resembling George Peppard. There are also very slight variances to be found on Murdock's head (and some... have orange eyes?!) Galoob also later re-released the four "main" members with different (garish) colour schemes. The large-sized Mr. T doll also came in a "talking" version (the old "pull the cord to hear his voice" thing, that no doubt doesn't work all these years later). Whilst the A-Team was my favourite TV series as a child (all-time favourite even now), it didn't seem well-suited to an action figure line, much due the fact that beyond the main cast, there weren't any recurring characters - in all of the 5 season, not one villain returned for a second go (which I always thought was a real shame), so creating new characters to fill out the line always seemed to be a challenge for Galoob. At very least, I always thought they could have issued figures of Colonel Lynch / Coloner Decker, the Military officers who were in pursuit of the team and appeared semi-regularly in the series. Finally, as with nearly all of the models of the iconic van, the colouring is wrong - the section above the red stripe is actually dark gunmetal gray on-screen (though it is not always evident to the casual eye). ....Uhmm, that's my essay on the A-Team Galoob figures! :)

I used to have all four of the 6 inch characters but lost two over the years. Last month an old mate from school showed up at my door with one of them and just last week i bought hannibal at a second hand store. Now i have them on display and i love them.

I had the 3 3/4" figs and the 6" figs. Learning from 1982 release GI Joe figures about thumbs (gave me a reason to get all of '82 replaced with '82.5 figures (swivel arm renditions). When I got the A-Team figs, I realized the thumbs may be prone to breaking. I also had the 6" guys and fondly remember thinking how cool all of their backpacks and accessories were (loved the tool box with all of the tools). The shine wore of the penny as there were no other similar scaled toys for them to interact with. My basement looked like a toy museum. Mego, Big Jim, Star Wars, GI Joe, and a lot of other single year releases based on movie properties.

It’s funny how the brain remembers things. I always thought the 3.75” figures came out after the 6”. My brother and I had all four of the A-Team 6” figures. I remember how loose the legs got on Hannibal, Face & Murdock. B.A. was a pretty good figure though. I loved that toolbox (complete with tools) that he came with.

Loved the A Team figures. Me and my friends all had a full set of 6" figures (apart from Amy). One friend discovered you swap the heads round, which caused much hilarity. I also had the 3 3/4" inch set too. My parents bought me the camp set but tragically got me the tank instead of the van. Big drawback with the tank was it could only sit three figures, instead of four in the van.

I actually loved these as a kid.

I thought this was a spectacular toy line when I was little kid. I loved the 6inch figures, I was just in awwwww when I was kid about these action figures.

Hi there I love your reviews they are excellent I collect 1970s dolls and love watching your videos kind regards from steven

The A Team was a show that was near and dear to me. I never missed a show, and watched it in syndication for years as a kid and on. We had the 3 3/4 action figures and the van, although they didn't look like them, it was still the guys, and they went on many, and I mean many missions with the Joe's and thumped Cobra many times over. lol. Great review! I think I'm gonna try and get them again, just for nostalgia..

I got the set of the 6in A team figures after I was in hospital having my tonsils out as a kid. I remember my father giving me them and stating Mr T looked constipated. Great video

I had the 83 original sets. I had the Van, The Jet, and the Campset. They may have been cheap, but I didn't care... At 10 years old... I was happy just having the van and the figures.

The A-Team action figures were cheaply made out of cheap plastic. My 6 inch A-Team broke easily and I really missed not having a Galob A-Team van for them. Thank you, Tony.

I remember getting B.A. for Christmas back in 1985.

Just got the dvd box sets of Knight Rider and A-team today. Going on my shelf next to Mac, Magnum and Miami. Never had any of these toys, but i did have a giant Mr T poster as a kid. Thanks for the video.

A Galoob Tommy gun? I would've loved to have that! I had a couple of the A Team action figures back in the day. It may have been a cheap toy line, but I had fond memories of it.

My mother in law has bought me the Playmobil A-Team van for Christmas, the van comes with four figures and loads of tools too

I had thought the 6” figures came first. They were well good. Brilliantly sculpted weapons. The Mr T figure I thought was brilliant. It’s still a great piece of 80s kitsch.

The various outfits for Mr T were wrestler,Fire fighter,and Soldier.which made the most sense

Loved the show never got any of the toys

Loved 6 inch some of my favorite figures weapons packs the van loved it

@7:20 Toys "left to languish on shelves" - OH the HORROR! D:

I use to love the a team back when I was a kid. Yes it was over the top fun series to watch. Noone got killed in this series. Don't remember the a team toys.

I remember one children's birthday party I was invited too. The Birthday boy received 6" Mr T's from all most his friends...accept for one kid who gifted an Amy Alan figure. I don't recall seeing the kid again at any other Birthday party's.

I had a few of the 6 inch ones and thought they were cool ! I had the baddie with the bald head (not Tony! ) and found to my delight that you could pull his head off and stick it on his fist , like some demented He-Man character ! Head-Fist !

I had them all. As a child I buried Mr T in the sand on holiday in Ibiza, I went for an Ice cream and came back and forgot where Id buried him . I was devastated , he was my favourite toy and character in TV.

still got my a-team 6"figures.. and my boxed a-team jet bomber never played with it much cos of it was bright orange.. i remember i had a boat with working motor.. that was awesome.

I had the four main characters from the 6 inch range... I loved the show, and though I was probably too old for action figures by the time they came out, I had to get them. They weren't great, but wish I still had them tbh - I would love to them shown some love and get new figures though

I had all three Mr T's, it was well cool to put them beside each other and play out some bizarre alien plot scenario.

That was awesome.

The A-Team was one of my favorite 1980s TV series, I understand its always available on TV over at the UK, and I actually liked Galoob's The A-Team figures- but its a shame they never had a 3 3/4 " Amy Allen figure. Wish I had the full set of 6 inch figures , the Headquarters Building though. Too bad the sculpting wasn't as done as well as G. I. Joe & The Six Million Dollar Man. Hannibal, Amy, B. A. Baracus & Lt. Gen. Hunt Stockwell (from Season 5) were my fave characters. Thanks again for this one!

Great review 👍

Well I just brought all four figures on a car boot for £2. They haven't got accessories but for there age there in great condition. Had to, reminiscing right back to my childhood right now so pleased. 6 " ones if you wondered what model.

i remember getting the set of 3.75 A team figures for christmas.....they were like the spec ops team when i played gi joe.....i had them rip around in the vamp

I don’t know what you are seeing but from what I see the 1/12 scale (6”) figures had a pretty decent head sculpt for the time..., they didn’t get really good at life like sculpting in that scale until McFarlaine Toys

Hi Tony. I remember wanting these A-Team figures as a kid but there was never enough money (for toys) so it wasn’t too be. Those faces sculpts are pretty silly though. It made me laugh out loud when you showed them. Thanks for sharing. Keep up the great work. Cheers M

My brother had the A-Team Van ( cool toy, cool van ) & a Mr T action figure.

Nice look at this toy line. Thumb and hand breaking wasn't unique to A Team toys, but maybe more prevalent. The figures did come packed with gear thought. Thank you so much for your time and effort in producing this video.

Loved this show back in the day, got 'em all on DVD now. Not a big fan of the main two figure lines, but my 12" Mr. T doll ruled. Also got Clubber from the Remco Rocky line; another great T sculpt!

I did like the fact that the 6 inch figures were loaded with accessories. As a child, I had both Hannibal and BA.

Just acquired a vintage Mr. T 6 inch figure recently at a toy show for $5. Wondered what line he was from, now I know. Thanks Tony for your informative videos, subbed.

Okay so I had the full team of 3 3/4” figures and the GMC van. The plastic was cheap on the figures as I recall. I remember at least one of their thumbs had broken off. The van was also a very brittle Bakelite plastic. Unfortunately it was destroyed in an accident with a fifteen pound Nylint all steel U-Haul truck which I had sent sailing down my driveway. The poor A-team was just in the wrong place at the wrong time. The van exploded on impact in such a violent and unintentional manner, I can still visualize it, these thirty years later. The pavement was literally peppered with hundreds of sharp, tiny shards of that black plastic. The only pieces left intact were, the roof which had been blown off, and two sets of axels with those cool red wheels. So sad. The figures did survive however, and I went on to play with them for a few more years after that.

Yeah was my favorite tv show back then, couldn't believe how they could not be found in a one only custom van lol but now there are lots real copies , as the van and Mr T was the favorite then Murdock, surprised they didn't make a helicopter for the figures

I had (and still have) the 1/16 Ertl A Team van and Face's Corvette. They were great toys but would have been better if they were to the same scale as the Matchbox and Hotwheels toys of the time. I also had the 6 inch Hannibal figure, my brother has BA and my sister had Face. Flashfoward to 2022 and I have the playmobile A Team van sat on the shelf by my desk.

As a kid,my only gripe was no tiger on the back of the Murdock jacket

I had the A-Team camp figures and bad guys. I loved them because I could put them with my Action Force toys

Had the 1983 Galoob The A-Team Soldiers of Fortune set. Wish I had the Headquarters building, and Amy Allen should've been added to the 3' 3/4" line.

I actually had a full set of the larger A-Team figures (minus Amy) and the four bad guys they also released. Probably cos my folks got 'em on clearance XD. I recall I eventually traded them for some of those little hand-held "game and watch" lcd games.

If they ever had the Bad Guys portrayed on the TV show. They could have had Edward Walsh as Cobra, Dan Haggerty as Python, Bob Tessier as Rattler. And Sonny Landham as Viper.

I had the 12inch MrT which had a shocking build quality, I also had all the six inch ones too :) I didn't get any of the vehicles or the Villain's though :( BTW I would still love a real life size working replica of the A-Team Van now, if anyone is reading this and feels generous, just message me straight away :)

Man those proportions on the 6" line... they look like they suffer from dwarfism. And where are the Ruger Mini-14 rifles!?

Love your videos your voice ur knowledge it’s nice to not have someone acting like a fool to get views

I had the 6" BA Baracus and all the 3 3/4" figures... the baddies too. I have a photo of my birthday morning with my BA! Must've been my 7th or 8th birthday.

I still have my 3 3/4" figures and the 6" ones too. My son used them again his G.I. Joes

Just watched this video again. Given how Galoob was trying to emulate Hasbro's G. I. Joe: A Real American Hero series, its a shame they never thought of negotiating with Marvel for a Crossover miniseries or one shot special between G. I. Joe & The A-Team! Marvel did release a 3 Issue The A-Team Limited Series. Done properly, it might've worked. I imagine it would've been: Either Gen. Joe Colton or Col. Hawk vs. John Hannibal Smith. Ace vs. Howling Mad Murdock, Face vs. Snow Job (he's the conman in the G. I. Joe Team), and B. A. Baracus vs. Roadblock (B. A. is described as a mechanical genius ; Roadblock's essentially a muscleman). And Amy Allen can take on Lady J. Btw, Mr. T noted that the show was specifically developed with him as the star. James Coburn was originally the first actor for the role of Hannibal.

I love it when a cool '80s toy video comes together, yes? I definitely had the 6-inch B.A. figure myself - he was my favourite back in the day, although re-watching the show nowadays, I'm definitely more of a Murdock guy at heart! - and I may well have had at least one more (can't remember which one, though...!); plus I seem to remember having Face's Corvette too at some point - all long gone now, sadly (although I'm sure I still have my A-Team tea-towel lurking around somewhere...!!!). PS: The smile on that Amy Allen figure, though - yikes!!! Looks more like a victim of the Joker's killer laughing gas (now there's a crossover worth thinking about, eh? Shame they never did an A-Team/Knight Rider crossover back in the day, though...imagine B.A. saying something like '...Murdock, you crazy fool! Cars can't talk!'). PPS: Did they do any toys for the 2010 A-Team movie, by the way? (Now there's a modern cult classic for ya! Oh, and speaking of cult classics and the A-Team, check out the Spaced remix of the legendary A-Team theme here at kzfaq.info/get/bejne/hJaAm7N81dDXen0.html - the bloke in the video's definitely on the jazz, right?!).

I had the 3 3/4 inch figures.

I had the 6" and the 3/4" figures, the 3/4" figures limbs went like ragdolls, and the knees on the 6" went like a ragdoll. The only vehicle I had was the helicopter.

They may have not sold well back then, but now they are sold on eBay pretty penny. But I was lucky to find all four figures including the girl figure all complete with weapons and all of BA's tools in his tool box. All for 45.00 got real lucky. Figures in good shape.

I had the BA Baracus 6" figure and had hours of fun with it. I have no idea what happened to it.

There was a gyrocopter too if Im not wrong. Always wanted to have that toy

As a kid i was a massive fan of the tv show and initially wanted to get the 6" figures but i was put off by the simple fact that they didn't have any "enemy" figures to fight.

I definitely remember the 6 inch figures coming out first...I got Murdoch and BA the Christmas of 83. But the smaller figures are so off-model it would make sense that they were rushed out first.

Does anyone remember The A-Team command chopper and van toy? I used to enjoy playing with it back in the day.

The 6 inch figures were quite easy to break the arms and legs off of if you played with them any at all.

I only had the 6 inch Mr T, I was about 3-4 and I lost pieces to it and the arm broke off, the legs floppy the head squishy, but that might have been that way because I chewed on it! I remember that!

The headsculpt on the 6" figure is great for the time in my opinion..... Show me another likeness closer in that scale and in that time.....

If you have a problem, If no one else can help And if you can find them Maybe you can buy some vintage cheap plastic A-team figures on Ebay.

I have the six-inch set, all of them except Amy. Most of the accessories. Maybe missing a few gun straps here and there.

I had the 3/34 in figures off the A-Team plus the Van, but I loved the show and they mixed really good with my GI Joe toys. They were really cheap and the fingers did break off when putting the guns in their hands. I glued them back on but they were never the same. I found the fan worked better with my GI Joe figures and I would substitute those figures with A-Team figures, I lost those figures soon after.

I’m sure they did a van for the 6” figures as well?? It’s was a more solid plastic without the removable top

There is a 12 inch talking Mr. T also.

I got the 5 6" figurines MOC. Too bad they never made a Corvette and the A-Team van suitable for these 6" figurines :S

I 've never seen that Murdock's hook. Did Galoob finally include it?

I had the 6" Hannibal, Murdock, and BA. I hated them. I never played with them. Biggest mistake: no boy wants a smiling action figure.

Mr. T wasn't unknown at the time. They built much of the series around him which angered George Peppard who felt HE should be the star of the show.

I only got the 3 3/4" ones + Face's 'vette back in the day; and yeah, those sculpts were pretty bad tho' can't remember the plastic being that bad, maybe I wasn't abusive enough to my toys.

I got the vehicles and used them for the Dreadnoks from G.I. JOE

When I was collecting action force I brought the a-team pack just for the accessories never touched the figures

Hello everyone ..i am still hoping Neca or McFarlane makes new action figures of the A team..will be awesome with the face tech and technology of sculpts and details of now..what say you bro in this topic?

Heres a thumbs up and sub so he can get a better quality microphone

great video as normal

he dude love this review.but made me think I had a childhood Mandela effect thingy. I remember owning a ateam van that was almost big enough for my six inch figures. however it didn't open. could this have been some kind of 80s ko. I think it was metal.

I am from England everyone had A team figures 3" and 6" didn't flop hear

what about the metal helicopter I still have it today

+AnalogToys CAN U PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE MAKE SOME MORE STAR WARS TOY RELATED VIDEOS

What about the ERTL helicopter - how come they got the rights for 3.75inch range; as a result of poor Galoob sales?

I had the 4 pack of villains and I thought the bald bloke with the eye patch was Python., because he was muscular.

Unlike the 2010 film version

I remember the 3/3/4 figures I had the van they never fit in it no doors

Ertl made a 1/18 scale van one on eBay now go see

the have no bad guys….the team needs bad guys to fight. the 3 3/4 toys could fight GI Joe or star wars (now that’s a holiday special of my dreams, mr t and chewbacca) but 6 inch…. rough effort for play without baddies

1.15 Ertl diecast metal cars were around 1/64 not 1/16

I couldn't finish this video because the audio was difficult to listen to

There will never be a show like this ever again in today's political climate.
