MASK Toys Extravaganza 2 | Ashens

[@jamison85]

I almost cried when I rediscovered a huge box of MASK vehicles in a box in my cellar after I thought I had lost them in a move. Very, very fond childhood memories.

[@LeafseasonMagbag]

I would 100% watch a podcast hosted by 80s cartoon villains. It actually seems like something Ashens WOULD DO.

[@brianhebert6152]

Pizzazz from Jem would be the only girl hosting the show

[@biscuitsalive]

One day that sofa will reside in a museum, the nostalgia KZbin museum 2049. All will come, some will be confused.

[@KurisuYamato]

What's left of it anyway -- last I recall he said it was down to like 2 sections :O

[@armwrestlingfan6804]

Or maybe Ash will bury himself with the sofa in front of him and aliens will find his grave thinking that the sofa was his GOD

[@unlokia]

It won't, it *really, really* won't - don't assume - just because you're inside the KZbin echo chamber, that Ashens is some form of notorious, worldwide "celebrity" - that's delusion.

Another great, hidden feature of the Ford Bronco, besides the obvious ability to go on a high-speed chase so fast, you could get away with murder!

[@2gname]

I never even heard of the OJ ford thing, but somehow when I read your comment I just KNEW that was about him.

[@samholdsworth420]

It's a k5 blazer not bronco

[@BenCol]

6:56 Ashens drops another one of his legendary poems: “Hi Calhoun, How you doing? Nice quiff, We’re all impressed.” Ah, masterpiece! Up there with Keats and Yeats and that one about how many days each month has.

[@samholdsworth420]

Great job 👏🏿👍🏿

I assume Ashens starts his day thinking: Oh I should be edited and rendered with this video by 6pm if I start now - then the reality has him uploading to KZbin at 2am....

[@samholdsworth420]

If you say so

[@jimneegs3887]

Haven't seen this stuff in ages. When I was quite little an older cousin gave me all of his mask toys! He had damn near the whole set, including some kind of mountain base. Best hand me downs ever!

[@ajaxlewis7664]

I've always blamed my terrible sleeping pattern on Ashens

[@TheToyBoy1978]

lol. I'm with you there mate. ;-)

[@thecosmonaut9322]

Same. I could do nothing all day but then as soon as I should be heading to bed, it’s tat time.

[@residentelect]

Completely agree! And despite him being in the UK too, he often posts content so bloody late, so when I'm notified at 01:30 in the morning I end up sacrificing sleep for pound shop tat, 80s action figures, and out of date food?!!

[@isaacsrandomvideos667]

Haha

[@calvinlee8103]

That first figure with the purple shirt was one of my favorite toys as a kid. I did not have the mask. I did not have the vehicle. I did not know what M.A.S.K. was. I just liked the eye patch.

[@samholdsworth420]

Damn bro that's tragic. The little helmets were the best part. 😢

[@MrPetesubzero]

Someone has probably said this already so apologies in advance but Raven actually turns into a boat

[@LadyLunarSatine]

That's what I was thinking, the battle mode still detracts from its overall aesthetic.

[@MJuegaES]

Fucking Manta turns into a plane and Raven into a boat?!

[@zofyrose]

I feel naming it after a bird was a bit misleading then.

[@LadyLunarSatine]

You know of any black waterfowl?

[@md_vandenberg]

Makes sense, seeing as a "corvette" is a type of ship.

[@MrSsadab]

This channel continues to make me happy, what a gem you are, Stewart!

[@ojrmk1]

I used to know all the characters, Masks and vehicles by heart. Loved this show so much.

[@buggybugson624]

I was born in 2000 and that intro still makes me smile for some reason

[@Suraht]

The Raven was a seaplane/submersible, IIRC. I mostly liked the Corvette mode on it, though.

[@phantomhurricane666]

so, basically it's Transformers meets Mad Max?

[@3dmaster205]

No, it was no post-apocalyptic series.

[@oneblacksun]

The mask with powers was used in Bionicle, which was neat.

[@jeffmint5472]

Mad Trax!

[@defrozendonut8715]

That would be a kick ass movie

[@FatFredyFreak]

More like Transformers meets GI Joe

[@AltimaNEO]

I had that 57 Chevy as a kid. Man I loved that toy. It was so bad ass.

[@robertshadbolt3056]

Rhino was my favorite vehicle, action force figures fitted perfectly on these

[@Crazy_Borg]

Had it Had it Had it Had it Had it Had it. Sold them them after I finished school. :-( Except Manta, which still resides on my Desk.

[@johnclavis]

Robot Chicken did a great parody of the opening of M.A.S.K... "DO THEY... SELL THE GAS... TO THEMSELVES?.........MASK!!!"

[@thetylife]

MASK......"The things they turn into are worse than they were before OHHH........." lol

[@patch-fm]

...

[@missbianka]

This is exactly the song I started thinking about when I saw the title. "MASK! Don't they know command doesn't start with a 'K'?"

[@sabrearashi302]

I've waited years for this. Bless your face, Ashens.

[@micktaylor9332]

I used to love mask as a kid. Had loads of the toys. Cars, bikes, helecopters. They were brilliant at the time. Smell that nostalgia. Awezome!! 😌

[@TimChuma]

I remember the episode when they went to Uluru and it was full of gold and treasure. Also please do not ride your robot up and down a sacred site. "I gotta get a photo of those Aboriginies, where's my light meter?"

[@comradeurod9805]

Finally the god of tat blesses us with part 2 of this glorious undertaking. PRAISE BE TO 80s TOYS Also the mask from the first mask reminds me of the prototype iron man armor Tony stark builds in the desert

[@brianm6337]

@Jack McLain Gods require tribute. What tat should a being such as he review? :D

[@peterjf7723]

I never saw the Saturday morning TV series but in the 1980s I was working for a commercial photographer and one time we had a whole lot of MASK toys like that to photograph for a toy catalogue. The company did not want the toys back so I took them and gave them all to a friends nephew who was thrilled to have them.

[@Clay3613]

Did you live in Ohio?

[@peterjf7723]

@@Clay3613 No I was in the UK. The toy company we were doing the catalogue shoot for was an importer.

[@KurosakiYukigo]

[@JordanJamesAW]

“Secrets from the night” is such a banger, I love these videos just for the outro.

[@TommyCrosby]

OMG, I just watched the pilot episode of this cartoon series and it's hilarious how each characters leave their jobs once the team is called to assemble.

[@Darthadios]

at 17:50 that´s Dr.Disrespect ! LOL =) Also litte Adios would been very happy with those toys at the 80´s.

[@BigJimFodder]

100th "raven was a fookin boat" comment right here. Nice collection of tat though.

[@watchspotting]

I believe not only that Raven transforms into a boat, but that those things that flip out on the wheels of Raven are some kind of those James Bond-esque things that would come out and pop other people's tires which obviously would never work and would just scratch up the opponent's hubcap.

[@Soultsukino]

This brings back memories. I had a lot of the back when I was a kid!

[@jasonmack9946]

My favorite toy line and cartoon from the 80s. I always hated that they never caught on as well as GI Joe and Transformers. Thank you Ashens.

[@Ray_the_Jackal]

Finally, part two. Been waiting forever

[@jameswarrick778]

17:39 it's as through the car shat the passenger out. Brill video as always ashens.

[@CanadianBakin42O]

Basically the 5 years iv watched this channel, nothing basically changed but the video quality.

[@brycevo]

I feel like I should listen to podcasts about gardening

[@Verbal0ne]

I’ve never been more excited about an Ashens video

[@rickscreationscustrr]

Thank you for that. That was a fun trip down memory lane. I had many of those toys as a child. G.I. Joe and MASK were my favorites!

[@Gasoline85]

Usually I have *some* form of prior knowledge about the stuff Ashens reviews, but throughout the whole of this video I found myself just nodding politely and smiling.

[@merlingstoss6332]

M.A.S.K. was great. I'd forgotten how much fun the toys were!

[@gochem3013]

I love the beginning of the intro of MASK. Very grid landscape.

[@thewretchedhiveofscumandvi4225]

7:18 that actually scared the shit out of me

[@jacobcassell7112]

After looking up the Mask intro, I immediately see the inspiration for the intro and outro on these 80's toy videos.

[@chriswinspear7965]

Mask on the Amstrad....oh childhood how I miss you so.

[@Lazarus7000]

The neat thing about these to me was always that they were identifiable cars. The black sportscar is a C4 Corvette and the purple one is definitely a 300ZX -these are two of my favorite sportscars!

[@chilliwaterlickingecko5113]

One of my fave t.v show and toys as a child... thanks for showin..... Big love from here in Australia 👋🏾👍🏾👍🏾✌🏾

[@T4silly]

HOLY CRAP! I had that Chevy Toy as a youngster and I NEVER knew where it came from! I guess now I know. Didn't have the figure or the extra tire though.

[@mellonmarshall]

we had the bike and again never knew where it came from, loved playing with it too

[@xen0bia]

You need to talk about my favorite toy series as a kid, which never caught on as much as it deserved considering it was conceptually it's the most amazing thing ever, DINO RIDERS!

[@XrisD147]

I had great times with Mask toys in my bedroom and garden as a kid, damn shudv kept some! Great toys back then.

[@funkydoodycool]

I didn’t have a lot of M.A.S.K., in fact I’d mostly forgotten about the toys... but the green flamey car from the thumb nail hit me hard in the nostalgia feels.

[@SwedishEmpire1700]

I had a few cars of this toy line, like the helicopter, the indian bike, the robot scooter and that blue-red Chevy

[@favoritemustard3542]

I only had the Chevy but a lot of the figs... Idk why lol maybe some1 forgot them when they went home

[@glyph2011]

This is pure awesome. I never followed mask. I was too into Transformers. But these toys are flippin BRILLIANT.

[@dirtydoge756]

With the Pontiac, I can hear and feel the tires rubbing the fenders around every turn lol

[@cavv0667]

You're a bloody wonderful maker!!! Hats off to you and yours...!

[@The1Nomad]

I literally dropped everything for this video

[@theanalogninja6511]

Great video! I had Jack Hammer, and lost the figure pretty quickly but held onto that truck for awhile. I loved the front guns that click and move while you drive it. I was always playing with that thing.

[@KAISER-OUTDOORS]

I had the semi truck and the helicopter motorcycle. Being a kid in the 80s was awesome.

[@Imrahilion]

Well, now I finally know what a bunch of my older brother's toys actually were from. It's weird I had absolutely no idea. Thank you, Ashens!

[@CK-ceekay]

[@1973Washu]

The 80's was a strange and wonderful time.

[@JasnoGT]

Raven! Wow I had that as a kid. Haven't seen it in over 25 years. Thanks mate!

[@MusouTensei82]

Raven was my 1st MASK toy, at that time I didn't knew the show and my parents bought it for me thinking it's Knight Rider, which I was a big fan of at that time, but eventually I discovered and loved the show and got a bunch of other toys.

[@ElMoppo1]

18:50 I had flashbacks of trying to remove my Princess Leia in Boushh disguise's helmet and taking her head off with it. D:

[@Iris_Studios]

“Oh bloody hell that’s tight” lmao 😂😂😂

[@tehRedRunner]

That intro is literally the most 80's Cartoon thing I have ever seen.

[@Foxcheese]

MASK is one of those shows I only vaguely remember seeing an episode or two of, more as background noise than anything else. I was always more of a Transformers kid. And yet, despite its short run, Visionaries is burned into my brain, the theme song to which I cannot forget no matter how hard I try.

[@No_Sleep789]

Digging the intro...

[@KurisuYamato]

Literally just popped on youtube and saw this JUST uploaded. Neat. Never been this early in ever!

I very distinctly remember these from my childhood

[@naota3k]

Intro: What is this, squirrelmonkey? Love you Stu!

[@Dbort]

Holy shit.. I had the Hondo McClain tank/car as a kid and I never knew what it was from. I think it must've been a hand-me-down from one of my uncles. The nostalgia is flooding back to me right now.

[@goodolddoug889]

I remember getting Condor for Christmas, and my oldest brother got Thunder Hawk. They were pretty awesome toys for the day

[@WhatHoSnorkers]

You should get one of these vehicles IRL, and drive it in Norwich as part of the Lord Mayor's Parade!

[@wopjohn]

4:00 looks like. Hes been going to Moe Howard's barber

[@DuelistVash]

Do love the MASK line of figures. I'm sure I still have some in my loft, in pretty good condition too. Would love to see some Starcom at some point. They had the most amazing automatic transformations.

[@the80hdgaming]

M.A.S.K. one of the awesome cartoons of the 80's... 👍

There was me thinking I had too much time on my hands!! Gave up stamp collecting when I was 54!

[@handsomerob1223]

For anyone interested the motorcycle is (I'm around 90% sure) a BMW K100RT(road touring or some such) a touring bike from the mid 80s so perfect for an 80s cartoon.

[@fistbumpbros]

I had that Chevrolet vehicle. Thanks for the memories. I was better off not knowing.

[@TheUndersigned]

Oh man I love MASK. My brother had so many when he was a kid, including several duplicates because huskies enjoyed chewing the plastic they were made from.

[@xbeaker]

Minor thing, those bits on the wheels are not supposed to be pulled all the way out. They are just meant to pop up a bit to be little gun turrets. The way Ashens has them, they would bee shooting straight up or down.

[@joeberry6815]

[@argylecowboy]

Raven was my favorite. Saw blades, door wings and tires that let you do the back to the future II mode!

[@OlEgSaS32]

I've never see s show and i dont know if maybe it flies in the show, but the corvette that turns into a "plane" where Calhoun is the driver, actually looks INCREDIBLY BLATANTLY like a boat, not a plane. Even those turbofans on the back look like something a racing speedboat would have

[@bungholio81]

OMG M.A.S.K was my favourite cartoon ever!
