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.

[@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!

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

[@mikeymegamega]

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....

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. 😢

[@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 👏🏿👍🏿

[@Crazy_Borg]

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so when I'm notified at 01:30 in the morning I end up sacrificing sleep for pound shop tat, 80s action figures, and out of date food?!!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

[@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.

[@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!

[@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

[@Suraht]

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

[@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?"

[@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.

[@ojrmk1]

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

[@robertshadbolt3056]

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

[@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.

[@Darthadios]

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

[@AltimaNEO]

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

[@buggybugson624]

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

I feel like I should listen to podcasts about gardening

[@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!! 😌

[@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.

[@johnclavis]

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

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'?"

[@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

[@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

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

[@dirtydoge756]

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

[@ArmandoDy]

Stuart there's a Matt Tracker G.I. Joe. Released in the 25 th. anniversary line. Mask is awesome. I have the boulder hill gas station. Great video. Cheers!!!👍🤠🤙🍺🍻🍺🍻

[@Emerje1]

There was also a Matt Trakker in 2017 as part of the Hasbro SDCC exclusive Revolutions figure set. It also came with Action Man, Leoric from Visionaries, Roadblock, ROM the Space Knight, Jetfire, and a Dire Wraith. The catch is that this time Matt is a black guy, but his outfit is colored more like the original toy than the 25th ann. version. The figure itself is entirely different from the 25th, but he still comes with the same armor, helmet, and gun (no helicopter backpack, though).

[@BigJimFodder]

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

[@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.

[@gochem3013]

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

[@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

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

[@XrisD147]

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

[@KAISER-OUTDOORS]

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

[@Soultsukino]

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

[@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.

[@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!

[@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.

[@jacobcassell7112]

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

[@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 👋🏾👍🏾👍🏾✌🏾

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.

[@halodudecj1]

I had some of those as a kid but I never knew what they were from. My parents gave them to me when I was little and I remember loving those toys.

[@thewretchedhiveofscumandvi4225]

[@merlingstoss6332]

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

[@goodolddoug889]

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

[@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.

[@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.

[@JordanJamesAW]

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

[@fistbumpbros]

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

[@WhatHoSnorkers]

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

[@cavv0667]

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

[@1973Washu]

The 80's was a strange and wonderful time.

[@vitalygerasimchuk6810]

[@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.

[@tncorgi92]

MASK doesn't warn you about that when you enlist.

[@GreyHulk2156]

Some of the actual masks (helmets) are perishing and becoming fragile. That's probably what's happened to Vanessa's mask. My own Vanessa's mask literally shattered a year or two ago when I tried to remove it!

[@KurisuYamato]

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

[@FordGTmaniac]

I wish I was old enough to actually remember these old cartoons and toys. I only know about MASK because there's a sketch from Robot Chicken that pokes fun at it.

[@luvhungryman]

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

[@argylecowboy]

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

[@chucheeness7817]

Aww I thought I'd see Stiletto (the Lamborghini one) coz that's the one I had as a kid. One of my cousins had the Volks Beetle one that has a motorcycle(?) inside it. It's a shame I was about 4 when I got it and I believe sometime I broke the outer shell and threw the drivers somewhere. Looking back at it now it looks really REALLY cool and would have been a nice nostalgic memento of the 80's.

[@LloxieFox]

I don't know why, but this vid made me suddenly think of another IP- The Centurions! Kind of more obscure, I feel, yet I get vague memories of it that pop into my head now and then from when I was very young. Probably because, oddly enough, it was one of the only shows of that kind that I both watched AND had some of the toys. Didn't have Transformers or anything like that, but I had some Centurions! Heh.

[@sabrearashi302]

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

I remember having the Goliath truck thing with the F1 car, Trakker wore a black and purple suit with an eagle on the front for some reason.

[@MellowGaming]

Was wondering the other day if you were going to follow up that first MASK video after YT started recommending me a Toy Galaxy MASK vid. Glad you got around to it! I had Raven as a kid. One of my favourite toys that. It's a boat it turns into. I have a feeling it was also meant to be a submarine but that may have been childish imagination making me think that. The guns in the wheels were meant to be at a 45 degree angle or something. Friend of mine had that cool one where they wooden crate turned into a jet that fired lasers at another vehicle to make it explode. Was always jealous of him for having that.

[@gingergreek]

Raven was my absolute favourite. But it was a weird vehicle. A car that flies but only takes off once it's in the sea. Yep, it was classed as a Sea Plane. Throw shit on the wall and see what stick I suppose. But still, loved it. I still have all of my MASK toys stashed in the attic. It's a shame I don't live near yah, cos I have enough vehicles for 2 more vids.

[@MatiusLenin]

Those toys are beautiful.

[@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.

[@fullsizedwarf]

Maaate...these bring back memories. My mother sold all mine for like 8p at a car boot sale

[@marcusphoenixish]

if my mum done that i'd be pissed even at 41 lol

[@TheTimPilot]

M.A.S.K. is my absolute favourite toyline. Lucky enough to have a complete collection :)

[@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.

[@Myserieden]

I used to loooooove M.A.S.K. toys, but my all time favorite classic toy (other than Lego) was Dino Riders.

[@pibbanon1987]

Weird switches are a feature of most old fords, only those are small ones that people install in the dashboard when they make modifications and don't label.

[@GrahamBrownVirtualTours]

+ashens the last one is called a Manta because it’s actually based on a Manta car. They were all the rage on council estates in the 80s and someone on my estate had that exact model but in grey

[@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.

[@bungholio81]

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

[@the80hdgaming]

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

[@coyoteartist]

The GTO was called Stinger. I so want one of those. And I believe the gun on the front is suppose to fit on the top of the super charger so it's a turret.

[@The1Nomad]

I literally dropped everything for this video

[@dustinarmstrong1168]

I think the closest thing we have to modern MASK toys are the ToyHax sets for certain Transformers figures, like Jackhammer for Earthrise Trailbreaker. Even included a version of Cliff Dagger's mask for him.

[@gilbertg.8501]
