How crazy were Jordan shoes in the 80s?

[Art Barr]

I remember that heavy ass Voltron. I had the black lion but they never got me any of the others. But that was cool cause if you were gonna have just 1 then the black lion was the one. And I can even trustee to your soundwave story. I've definitely had a not too proud moment as a kid like that. shyt, nikkas got me the same way. Look up and a toy straight disappeared. I searched my Granny's house for damn near 10 years for my MASK motorcycle that turned into a helicopter. It wasn't until I was a grown ass man that I had to accept that somebody got me for that shyt.

nikka,...
my third grade teacher took my matt Stryker Skyhawk and matt Stryker.

I had to have my moms get back my favorite mask toy till the black corvette hydrofoil dropped.

got my matt tracker back and stuck him dead in the VETTE.
don't know where any other mask toy was. Nor did i care.
matt tracker mask was a goat toy.

that mini motorcycle chopper toy was a great traveling pocket toy too.
it may have been the goat motorcycle travel toy.

it is probably just behind evel knievel all time.
as far as motorcycle toys.
as far as motorcycle toys with a figure and accessories.
it is probably the goat.

the eighteen wheeler is probably the goat semi in that line as well.

the mask toys were a grand slam for kenner.
those mother groups ruined toys around this time tho.

so we never got anything really legrndsry after that toy or cartoon.
I don't think they have a property for kids as dope as mask either.

nor do they have a kid character like the one with robi on mask either. Only other kid character that was cool was.
spike son in transformers the movie and the later rodimus prime transformer era cartoons. They should have made a spike son toy.

I would have killed to have a joe size spike's son toy. That could fit in his transforming suit.

these are the ones I have now.

these are the original EXCLUSIVE Pippen joints right???

no.

I believe if i remember right.
the first pair of pips is a pair of flights.
i sometimes forget if the first pair of penny's that mike wore a few times. Were also the first Pippen too.

okay, the first pip's were a pair of flights.

I had this pair of shoes in the purple swosh colorway.

not sure why they had these in purple back then. I don't even think red was available to the public. Red may have been a pe. Or a colorway later on i missed.

as a matter of fact.
. I wanna say pip had a pair of Barkley looking flights with no strap.
that predate this too.

nike kinda floated on pip originally.
till finally giving him a look.

had the WHOLE MASK collection my nikka.

Crazy shyt is I think a MASK movie would work!

I believe a mask movie would work too.
especially if they got the fact matt tracker had a kid right with his little scooter bot.

I also believe you could turn robotech.
into a predominately black cast movie.
where you make roy fokker white and keep max sterling Asian with blue hair. Then you make rick hunter, minmei, the bridge bunnies, Lisa Hayes black.

robotech, Imo would work better with a predominate black cast in movies.

[Art Barr]

if they could just get what they did right in this moment.
everything would be right with the world.
it leads to the saddest movie moment of our child hood.
yet, no other song besides cartoon themes like galaxy rangers, mask theme, defenders, pole position and jayce.
could match what Hasbro got exactly right in this moment in time.

This is how you sell some shyt.

Michael Jordan is the only guy left.
who knows how to sell Some great high quality shyt.
The rest of these people trash.
what happened to the greats at the toys companies too.

Those MASK toys were GOAT tier toys. That's why I was so frustrated. That cyclecopter was the perfect size to throw in my pocket to have something to play with no matter where we were going, and I'm not the type to lose my toys. I treated my toys like real life Toy Story and I knew they were alive and kicked it when I wasn't around. My imagination was STRONG It's a shame how real life beats us down and robs us of that over time. I envy those that could still hold on to that. I will say that my kids have helped to bring some of it back, but I don't know if I'll ever be able to see the food at the dinner table with the lost boys like Peter was able to do

in my imagination as a shawty.
I would ride around in roadie from pole position in my mind.
be playing hydrofoil and hovercraft mode.
with the voice assisted sfx and the whole nine everywhere i went.

I know what you mean by imagination.
so much shyt happened to me till now.

I can not actually draw comic characters from my own imagination anymore. If i went back to pencil comics. I would never be able to plot the book myself like kirby or lee.


all because, i don't think in those imaginary lines anymore. I could look at the script and plot layouts. I just would never at this point. Be able to make a new universe.
or new characters, costumes etc.
I don't think in those ideals anymore. After living this crazy ass life.

I can still pencil but it would have to be for someone.
who had all the ideas and just wanted a professional penciler.
to do what they ask and need executed panel to panel.

plus it affects my speed page to page as well.

which is why i just do not have the drive to draw comics any more.
after they ruined xmen. It became, there is no endgame to penciling. As i will never get to pencil the xmen being of quality.
plus they ruined, alex and scott summers too.
so, my imagination may have gotten killed.
from having to sue people over real shyt in corporate as the final blow.


I notice kids now.
do not have imaginations like we did as well.
which i think the divorce gen ruined. Coupled with and alongside the crack epidemic.

as we are now living. In a post apocalyptic movie after crack. Whether
people wanna acknowledge it or not.
