I'm 46. Reliving my childhood with everyone of your videos. Thanks.

[@MichaelMercy]

Thanks, happy to hear it!

[@Tarmac76]

In terms of playability and screen accuracy, M.A.S.K. is the best 80s toy line. I'm so grateful that I got Thunder Hawk for Christmas. Still have it too, thanks Mom and Dad.

[@MichaelMercy]

True! Never thought about it but the show was very accurate to the designs of the toys.

[@davidbranch1077]

The wheel warriors came at also in September of 1985... I miss those days 💙💯👍

[@ats2099]

MASK was one of my childhood favorites; right up there with GI Joe and Transformers. Especially in earlier series, the toys were super high quality- and I loved that they were pretty consistent- like all the toys were to scale with each other and their figures. They packed some of them with special features and even though their transforming gimmicks would never have worked in real life, they matched the kind of imagination my friends and I had with our other toys.

[@CHEGTO]

Bruh thunder cats, go bots, centurions, silver hawks. damn I miss the 80’s

[@PascalBrax]

I'm more than 40 years old and I'm convinced MASK still today has the best ever opening theme for a western cartoon!

[@MichaelMercy]

It's a classic!

[@cowpuddles4851]

Looking at the giant figures of today, it’s clear that you can really do more with less. These tiny figures were amazing and allowed imaginations to run wild. I loved this collection back in the day.

[@Nerdsonearth]

I agree on the small scale figure lines. They really did do more with less!

[@user-uo6cq1cp3u]

I’m mainly a Transformers collector, but MASK is the only other toyline I have vowed to never sell. The toys and show hold a special place for me. Fun fact: on the show, Scott Trakker was voiced by Brennan Thicke, son of Growing Pains actor Alan Thicke and brother of Blurred Lines singer Robin Thicke.

[@MichaelMercy]

Interesting! Alan Thicke is greatly missed.

[@Commander_Bly327]

I loved this show and spent many an hour playing with the toys I had. Amazing concept. It really worked. The smaller figure scale made a backyard, living room, or bedroom an even bigger imaginary environment for adventures. It also made the toys easier to take with me when visiting Gramma’s house or cousins that lived a drive away.

[@MichaelMercy]

You had the toys? Lucky! I remember thinking the figures were way too small back when I was a kid, but I appreciate them much more now. It's amazing how posable they are for their size. They fit perfectly in their vehicles which isn't always true for Joes and their vehicles.

[@Commander_Bly327]

@@MichaelMercy I did. I had the Raven, Gator, Condor, Switchbalde, and Piranha. Oh, and I did have T-Bob. LOL. T-Bob and Scott came with me a lot. They were easy to drop into a pocket for any trip. I probably played with Condor the most of any single vehicle. Piranha was a good match-up, both being bikes. The coolest looking of my collection was the Raven, though. Who doesn’t love a black sports car that FLIES and fires saw blades?!

[@Monkey_SK]

Some of the happiest days of my life were spent playing with Mask toys, what a line, what fun they were!

MASK and Transformers were my fav toys growing up into my 40's.

[@TrinOKor]

love the SFX you added to the toys, just like we all imagined while playing with them

[@MichaelMercy]

Thanks! Never had these when they first came out but it's nice to get to finally play around with them. This had to be one of the most fun toy lines of the 80s.

[@fernandoneder1850]

That's a beautiful collection, congratulations. I loved Mask as a child, and got really nostalgic seeing this video. Thank you, for bringing back these happy memories.

[@MichaelMercy]

Thank you! I was lucky enough to get most of it a decade ago before vintage toy prices skyrocketed. So glad to hear the video brought back fond memories.

[@ten606ixx]

Thank you Michael for taking me back to my childhood. This was fantastic!

[@MichaelMercy]

Thanks, happy to see you enjoyed it.

[@redvitaminblue]

What a banger of a line. GIJoe dominated my toy box from 85 to 87, but there were a few MASK vehicle/driver combos that were sprinked in and saw considerable action in the backyard. I will always remember my paternal grandmother surprising me with Firefly/Julio Lopez one day when we visited her. That memory is as clear as any from my childhood, and that toy remains my favorite from the entire MASK line. Great job with this overview of another classic series, Michael.

[@MichaelMercy]

Thanks! Happy to hear you enjoyed it, and sharing your memories.

No way, T-Bob's much cooler.

[@jamiepike6909]

@@MichaelMercy still a bit annoying though🤣

[@heli88]

The amazing thing, to me, is how good the figures are. Some companies would have skimped on them as an afterthought, but they stand up on their own, even without the vehicles.

[@MichaelMercy]

And even without the vehicles, the figures were pretty powerful thanks to their mask powers. Especially Spectrum!

[@jesslapuz7605]

Year in and out i keep wishing for a revival or fresh release of MASK. Come on, Hasbro, do it! P.s. The MASK theme has gotta be one, if not the best cartoon theme song of all time.

[@MichaelMercy]

Hope not! I'd hate to see MASK be another failed reboot. Reissues of the originals would be nice as long as they don't have the crazy "nostalgia tax" they put on some of the Transformers reissues. That theme is straight 🔥 Spectrum must have composed it.

[@jesslapuz7605]

@@MichaelMercy there was already an attempt from Hasbro in the past to include MASK into their "multiverse" of franchises. There was even a special boxset of toys called Revolution that included Transformers (Jetfire), Micronauts, GI Joe,Matt Trakker from MASK. And yes not also keen on a reboot, but just a reissue of the Kenner toys.

I was 7 in 1985 and was a massive M.A.S.K fan. I got Condor as a gift when I was in hospital having my tonsils out haha

[@frankschuler2867]

Great video! I loved these toys…only ever had Condor as a kid, though. I grew up in Cincinnati, so Kenner was in my back yard. Someone at our church worked there and brought a bunch of Sly figures to give away to the kids. I still have a couple of those figures and I still have my childhood Condor (somehow, lol). I bought a Hurricane a couple years ago…always wanted one as a kid.

[@MichaelMercy]

Thanks! That's cool that you grew up right near Kenner HQ.

Watching this video, feels like experiencing someone's childhood fantasy. Somewhere in the rainforest part of Suriname in the '80. Some kids in a remote village has few of my MASK toys. I can't remember whether I gave it to them or they stole it from me when I visited their village. Anyway, I'm glad I shared and introduced MASK toys to them. I do remember they were was amazed of them as I was back then. The transformation gimmicks make them stand out from most other toys in that era. Let alone to some forest dwellers in the rainforest.

[@MichaelMercy]

This toy line it was the best,it have everything,i still love it.i watch the video with a smile in my face 😂

[@MichaelMercy]

[@Robocline]

Mask was the first toy line that was all mine. Before that my brother and I would get toys from the same lines like Star Wars and GI Joe. But in 1985 my father decided I needed to get something different. He got me the 4 comics from DC and all the MASK vehicles. I didn't get the gas station but I didn't mind. I had a blast with the toys. My only complaint was they weren't sized compatible with any of my other action figures so I couldn't mix them very well with GI Joes. None of that stopped me from trying though. MASK taught me about forced perspective. They worked well in the foreground with GI Joe in the background for my amateur dioramas.

[@DavidRodriguez-jn7sg]

I still have my MASK lunchbox. Great video.

[@MichaelMercy]

Thank you!

[@BlackArroToons]

"M.A.S.K., is the mighty power that can save the day..." Cool to see a documentary covering the history of MASK, thanks! 1st buy was Condor. My favorite line growing up with 14 vehicles/boulder hill back then and it deserves a new run! Really like the smaller scale too at 3" figures. Thanks!

I still have my Firecracker to this day on a shelf in my garage.. lost the motorcycle in the last 40 years, but still have the tire. Cartoon and toys just can't compare to what we had growing up in the 80s

[@m-dv3os]

Great video, you took me back to my 12 year old self on christmas morning, santa gave me almost the whole release set, i even got the boulder hill playset, as i got older i kept them in the original boxes in the back of my closet until my sister convinced me to give them to my nephews, biggest regret in my life, one week after i gave them to those boys, they were in pieces scattered in their back yard. i have considered re buying them, but decided to chalk it up as a learning experience....

For my 5th birthday my mum and dad bought me thunder hawk. It was the greatest present I ever received. When you pushed the button on the top only one door would open and you had to pull the other side out. It didn’t matter to me. My parents on the other hand RETURNED IT THE NEXT DAY!!! The store had no more in stock, so they got a refund and bought me something else!! I tell that story to my mum every now and then, at just how ecstatic and then devastated I was. She said she had no idea it meant so much. I’m 42, saw the thumbnail for this video out of the blue and it all came flooding back! Haha. Ah well, hope you guys enjoyed yours! Cheers.

[@TheShaneGuy]

NASK is one of the most underrated shows of all time and had some of the best toys of my childhood. It was arguably more realistic than Transformers being grounded on the planet and i wish they would make a live action movie of it still set in the 80's like stranger things is to preserve the original vehicles and not do what Michael bay did to Transformers. I also wish they would remake the toys as the figures were some of the best compared to Gi joe and the snapping elastic bands inside them. I wasn't able to buy as many as I wanted as an 8-11 year old kid. It makes my heart happy to see my own children play with my old toys every day.

[@MichaelMercy]

Good idea keeping it in the 80s if it ever gets a remake, not only to keep the same vehicles, but like Stranger Things, to keep the same fun and optimistic tone.

[@talljoke]

The first thing that always comes to mind when I hear MASK is the Robot Chicken line "Do they know 'Command' doesn't start with a K?"

[@elelcoolbey]

This hit me right in the childhood. I was obsessed with M.A.S.K. T-Bob always reminded me of a robot Snarf. Might have to look into getting some rotor blades for my motorbike.
