Kenner's 1987 M.A.S.K. Meteor Unboxing/Review

Taking a dip into the 1980's again with a other childhood favorite line, Kenner's Mobile Armored Strike Kommand: aka M.A.S.K.!
I haven't had the opportunity to unbox a vintage M.A.S.K. toy since 1988 when I was a kid, so this was something I was very excited to get ahold of.
Should you track down a Meteor of your own? Check the review and decide for yourself, but it's definitely a fun set.

Thanks for thinking to film this as you opened it up to share with the rest of us. A while back I purchased a M.A.S.K. Bullet NIB and savored every bit of it including the calendar. It really did feel like going in a time machine back to being a kid at Toys R Us. Now I wish I filmed it.

Thanks! That's really why I started this entire channel: so people can see what it's like to open up some of these old toys. It's harder to do with M.A.S.K. toys due to how expensive they've become over the years. I got this for around $100 or so and I said "You know what, I want to open this and share the process with everyone.".

Cool review nice to see it unboxed a real time capsule 👌

Thanks! That's 100% why I enjoy making these unboxing videos so much. Finding that M.A.S.K. poster/calendar for 1987/88 totally unlocked memories of when I was a 6 or 7 year old kid getting M.A.S.K. toys as I totally remember that poster. Once M.A.S.K. got to the "Split Seconds" them towards the end of the line in 1988, Kenner had moved over to the "Kenner Action Toy Guide" booklets over poasters, so this poster/calendar was probably the last year they did these for the M.A.S.K. line.

That calendar is priceless……lucky for you!

Thanks! Hey if you ever get a MISB M.A.S.K. vehicle and open it, odds are you will get one too. The year right after this one is when Kenner switched over to the Kenner Action Toy Guide format and stopped making unique pamphlets for each line (Centurions had pamphlets too but their line was canceled before the introduction of the Toy Guide.).

i was also born in 79 and my first mask toy was rhino

[@theobscuratoyfiles1142]

Nice! I forget which one was my first, but it might have been the Piranha as that one was pretty beaten up vs the other ones lol.

I used to watch the animated series.

Me too! I don't remember the racing theme to the show though, so I might have stopped watching it by then. 🤔
