Idea: The Mr. T Virtual Playset
I saw a poster the other day advertising Mr. T’s new talk show on TV Land called I Pity The Fool. It got me thinking. Mr. T has had basically the same look for the entire time he’s been in the public spotlight. What if he shaved his mohawk? What if he shaved his beard? What would he look like?
After having trouble imagining it, I decided I might as well use Photoshop to help. A little cutting and pasting and — Wow. He sure looks different without the beard. Of course, once I had Mr. T without any facial hair, I found myself wondering what he would look like with different kinds of hair.
What would he look like with a pompadour? Or a handlebar mustache? Or a John Bolton mustache? What if Mr. T was wearing a hardhat and big goofy sunglasses? And so, with apologies to Mr. T, the Mr. T Virtual Playset was born.

Wow! That is surprisingly unsettling.
… maybe he doesn’t really have a face underneath that beard. =-o

That’s hilarious! Great job, man. Thanks for spending your time on stuff like this… :-)

After playing with it, I think he should go with the shaved head, goatee look.

You might consider subtitling this “A Mr. T Experience”. Then you can turn up in Google searches for the band of the same name.
Nice work! anyway. Will we see an expanded version with replaceable clothing?

Wow…very well done!

Mr T. Did change his look considerably: he got rid of his gold chains. He thought they were too flashy.

*ROFL* That’s great!! I’d have to vote for additional add ons, too… (Halloween with Mr. T)

incidentally, i did actually watch the show last night (ok, only five minutes of it)…mr. t makes everything better.
what an odd show. and by odd i mean good.
i’d love so see more ‘normal man’ add ons for the t. Glasses! we need glasses. regular, and euro-architect style…

Incredible. Thank you for showing us what Mr T. looks like without facial hair. I can’t get over it.

Mr T without the beard is really ugly .. lol
his face is very slim without the beard and he doenst look that tough anymore like that.
If he wouldnt have had the beard I am sure he would have never become the mr t we know. I dont even think he would be in the at team then./

Posted by: Derp | October 31, 2006 8:03 AM
Try putting his mohawk on his chin, now that’s funny. Good job dude!!!

that is one of the coolest internet “games” i have ever played, ever. =) sorry to be redundant.
Posted by: darci | October 31, 2006 6:32 PM
Great… now that we know he can look the part Mr T can, perhaps, audition for the part of Hercule Poirot!
One thing, though… how come Ironic Sans is all in a Serif font? Or is that the irony?

The game is boring I thought
Posted by: Anonymous | November 3, 2006 4:48 PM
You only think it is boring because you don’t know Mr. T.

I found your site through a link from Kottke on the SNL guy. I’m so impressed that you would take the time and energy to create the Mr. T playset! It was great—thanks for making it.

Posted by: husk | April 28, 2007 8:44 AM
I highly doubt that his jaw is that narrow without the beard. Otherwise, it was a pretty neat set. Any plans for doing this with other “celebrities”?
Posted by: bornafrican | April 28, 2007 1:02 PM
Removing Mr.T’s beard should be punishable by death.
I found it kind of odd that you couldn’t remove the chains, even though he doesn’t wear them anymore.
