I made the cigar of a wooden skewer.
HANNIBAL is the leader of the A-TEAM and he is famous for his very unorthodox style. He fought during both the Korean and Vietnam war. During the lather, he met the other members of the A-TEAM when he lead a special forces operation, which turned out to be a set up. He led his men over the wall of Fort Bragg after they were wrongly arrested and they're on the run from the MP ever since. HANNIBAL is distinguished by his unflappable demeanor, even when in peril, his constant cigar-smoking, his black leather gloves, and his many disguises.
Being a master of disguise, HANNIBAL uses his acting skills and many alter egos to screen potential customers. Since HANNIBAL is a master tactician, he is the one that comes up with the plan for solving the problem or help the team escape when they're captured.
AMY: "Hannibal's plans never work right. They just work."
HANNIBAL: "I love it when a plan comes together!"
I think we can all agree that the 1984 Galoob versions were almost criminally insulting for these childhood heroes! So I desided to challenge myself: to give the Galoob heads a Hasbro body that these icons of the '80's truely deserve!
