MASK (Kenner) Action Figure Line Vehicle Inspiration | MASK Car Real Life Counterpart Comparison

[@Starrgroove]

For myself, Switchblade will always be the most iconic MASK vehicle. I even thought that-while wearing his mask-Miles Mayhem looked cooler than Cobra Commander.

[@GENXPERIENCE]

Their colors were even similar, but Miles looked cooler huh? I will say I liked his booming voice, for sure.

[@BlackArroToons]

Great comparison of the M.A.S.K. Kenner vehicles to the real world vehicles/aircraft! Fun to see how close some of them were. Condor was my first MASK vehicle/figure, and then Vampire was my last one of about 14 collected total including Boulder Hill. I always wanted to be riding a motorcycle and then switch on Helicopter mode in heavy traffic situations (or Thunderhawk). Thanks!

[@GENXPERIENCE]

Okay, this is CRAZY. Condor was my first and Vampire was my last, too. I am not kidding. When playing with Condor, I imagined me doing the same thing and I started wanting one of those crotch rockets from the period, too. lol. Thanks for sharing.

[@BlackArroToons]

@@GENXPERIENCE Ha, cool! Condor to Vampire! I was browsing through a retail store as a kid, and there was Vampire in the box, brand new back around when it was released. Huge fan of motorcycles (and ride them for years now), so those motorcycle MASK vehicles were some of my favorites. Condor's bike/helicopter definitely has the advantage as he doesn't need a take off lane to gain momentum. Thanks!

Awesome video, i would like to see an updated MASK toyline and what modern day vehicles they would use.

[@GENXPERIENCE]

I would love a "reboot" modern version, and YES, maybe someone could do a show on WHAT cars they would use today. Hmmmmmmmmm

[@thomasgoesnostalgic]

You could definitely see how these vehicles with colors and playability inspired vehicles after. Really cool to see a vehicle inspired by the Renegade! Might have to pick one up and paint it neon green like mine!

[@GENXPERIENCE]

Make than one of your shows....a little homage to both generations. They were awesome cars, you bet they inspired kids, lol. Thanks man.

[@guyalec6168]

So many great vehicles. I think the outlaw. Big awesome vehicle sand still works perfectly.

[@GENXPERIENCE]

I have Outlaw, missing a few pieces, but still awesome.

[@CB-ke7eq]

'78 kid here, love the channel dude. My favorite was Rhino because my dad was an OTR driver and drove the same rig with different paint.

[@GENXPERIENCE]

You're dad was like a living Matt Trakker. Very cool memory, thanks for sharing.

[@skippermatt7939]

My parents donated all my MASK toys to charity in the 90s after I "outgrew" them. Really wish I had kept them, but at the time I guess I was trying to be "mature" or some such nonsense...

[@GENXPERIENCE]

Sounds like time to reaquire.

[@holliberry9778]

Steve McQueen’s Mustang in Bullitt is probably the reason I drive a Mustang today!

[@GENXPERIENCE]

Keep it alive, keep it alive. THey just don't make muscle cars like that anymore.

[@glennm.garcia6964]

Awesome video! Great job! I hope you find time to do a video for the other remaining vehicles & battle stations, such as: Bullet, Iguana, Billboard Blast, Collector, Afterburner, Barracuda

[@GENXPERIENCE]

Thank you. Oh my the Billboard Blast. Although I do not have those additional pieces as they are past my original "Playtime" I still find them interesting. Thinking of acquiring a Billboard Blast for my collection, too. Thanks for watching.

[@thomasgoesnostalgic]

And damn! That purple Nissan Z!

[@GENXPERIENCE]

No kidding. It is one of my favorite MASK vehicles, and then I look at the real thing and I say...that is WHY!

[@bauerns5er]

My favorite vehicle was and is Rhino. Because it is not only a good looking Truck, it always has been a toy with a lot of things going on. Followed by Thunderhawk - but that only because it is an IROC-Z.

[@GENXPERIENCE]

That truck kicked ass. Yes, there was so much too it...I wanted that in my car, lol. Well, the Thunderhawk is a straight, tough, sexy, 80s car...so I get it.

[@davidpyott3710]

Iconic vehicles

[@GENXPERIENCE]

All of them. Always wanted Condor, though.

[@doro626]

Ahhh. That Ramen toys shark makes a lot more sense now. Do you have a video like this for GI Joe? I know I used to see a few of teh GI Joe vehicles in popular mechanics ( or something close at times) Mostly the jets and copters.

[@GENXPERIENCE]

I have the whole collection, but without an original SHARK, I get the shaft, lol. I dont' have one on their vehicles, but I should. Thank you so much for that inspiration.

[@Scotty-Z70]

Raven was my favourite MASK car. Billy Idol was my favorite figure...i mean, Floyd Malloy

[@GENXPERIENCE]

OMG, that sneer. He was my second set, and Floyd looked "BAD" lol...Billy Idol. AWESOME

[@batangbatugan]

Vanessa Warfield's Nissan 300ZX for me has probably THE best M.A.S.K. attack mode. The transformation may not be cartoon accurate, but its a better and sleeker flying car than the Thunderhawk. Plus, it can have a 3rd fan mode by transforming it halfway without folding out the wings to look like KITT's pursuit mode.

[@GENXPERIENCE]

OOOOOOOh, I am going to go do the fan mode of my MANTA to the KITT pursuit version right now. Thanks for that, and YES, I would agree. It is my favorite vehicle in my collection.

[@batangbatugan]

@@GENXPERIENCE Thanks! Also, is it just me, or that Manta and Raven name should've been switched around since Raven has an aquatic attack mode while Manta has a jet mode?

[@DonCook-i1d]

My favorite one was rhino ironically I still have him in storage

[@GENXPERIENCE]

I have mine out on a shelf, if you can believe it. Just no side mirrors, lol.

[@tihja]

The only one that wasn't right, was the formula race car. It wasn't Buzzard, you showed the one from Goliath .. ☝🏻😊

[@GENXPERIENCE]

THank you. No one else had spotted that.

[@MrIrrepressible]

In the 80s TV cop show called Hunter, there is a female cop who drives a camaro that looks just like thunderhawk

[@GENXPERIENCE]

And how much did I love Hunter. Watched it religiously. Great extra info, thanks for sharing.

[@ariekurnia8152]

hmm outlaw with real truck really different?

[@GENXPERIENCE]

Yeah, OUTLAW may have been tough to find in real life, but it was the closest I could get. I am sure it is inspired by something, but all together too different.
