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.

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.

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.

@@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.

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.

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.

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.

I would get so jacked up when the MASK intro sequence came on. MASK also had a helluva theme song. By the time the intro was done I was salivating to the point of dehydration!

Hate how they destroyed Firecracker and replaced it with Hurricane. Remember buying the two pack of Alex and Buddy just to have Alex for Rhino.

Love this, Michael! MASK was a huge part of my childhood. I was only in for the first two years of the line but man, I was 100% hooked.

Loved M.A.S.K. That was easily the top of the 80's toy pile for me. Had Thunder Hawk, Condor, Jackhammer, Piranha from series 1, Slingshot and Vampire from series 2, and Manta, Iguana and Pitstop Catapult from Series 3. I really wanted a couple of the Split Seconds as well. My friend had most of them, it was crazy. The best in my opinion were Rhino, Outlaw, and Hurricane (my personal favourite).

Well there was a lot going on in the 80s. But MASK has stood the test of time.

Ordered a copy of 3djoes' Omnibus the other day because of your channel. Looking forward to that arriving. Don't think I'm ready to dive down the rabbit hole on MASK quite yet. One day soon, perhaps.

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

I should begin by saying that MASK (the detailing on the vehicles and figured were ahead of their time when you think about it) is one of my favorite toy lines of all time. Kenner’s original Star Wars toys, Transformers, G.I. Joe, The Real Ghostbusters and Kenner Super Power action figures were, are, and forever will be in my top 10 list. I adored them as a kid!

The Vicious Evil Network of Mayhem really is the best villain group name. I remember watching this as a kid. I also remember thinking the movie "Mask" was a movie version of the cartoon and didn't understand why my parents wouldn't take me to see it.

MASK was my favorite show when i was a 5-year-old and if there's one kids-show from the 80s that deserves a remake it's this one. The toys were awesome as well.
