Vintage M.A.S.K. Condor bike Windscreen and Custom Stickers - Toy Polloi

This may be one of the smaller M.A.S.K. toys, but there is still a lot to work on. The Condor is almost always missing the windscreen so I wanted to work out a way to make one from scratch. It also feels like they didn't really put much effort into designing the stickers so I have designed some new ones to fill in the gaps. Brad Turner also needed some work, you can catch that in a separate video.

Looks better than the original. Smashing! Those stickers were excellent but clearly the amazing bit for me was the custom windscreens. I was particularly impressed by the cartoon accurate one. Fantastic!!!

[@jdkillzone]

I don't know why, but I always enjoy watching you create stickers for toys you restore.

[@wampaslap4123]

I never bought M.A.S.K, but Brad Turner was always my favorite.

[@chrismayer3919]

I used to have a couple MASK toys when I was little. This was one of ‘em! Ah, nostalgia…

[@batangbatugan]

The Condor has a soft spot in my heart as it was the one and only M.A.S.K. toy I ever had as a kid. It was the later version with the bigger mask which I found really annoying back then so I actually cut off the extra parts using a box cutter. Another method I can think of is making mold of the windshield and then vacuuforming new ones out of dark translucent plastic.

[@frankschuler2867]

The Condor was the only one I had as well! It was one of the few toys I was allowed to get for my birthday that year. I still have it and Brad Turner…and the mask too…haha…

[@davidpyott3710]

The cartoony wind shield was excellent 👍

[@asantemoitt133]

I truly enjoy watching you work on the coolest toys from my youth.

[@toypolloi]

Glad you like them!

[@BrynSmith76]

I saved money for weeks and purchased Condor and Vampire at the same time. I loved those toys.

[@mikesmith2718]

Got excited when I heard about this on your slimehouse interview. Thanks for everything you do for the toy community!

[@ghostbustersquickresponseu5159]

Love the “cartoon” version of the wind screen.

[@ROB-M0LOL-VK2OMG]

I have three things to say sir. 1.what an amazing video you have made on this.i was mesmerised for the whole 40 mins. 2.i have worked in hospitals all over the world and you sir should have been a suture nurse with those steady hands and caring voice. And finally 3.wow are you some kinda marster of photo shop you make it look so very easy and i know its not. Keep up the fantastic work my friend and i love watching the vids. Cheers rob from new.south.wales Australia 👌👌👌

[@foxhound9781]

I always though Brad Turner looked like the singer Roy Orbison. Great job Dave! The Switchblade might prove to be an interesting challenge.

[@dazatron1664]

Love watching your restoration videos. It’s brilliant that you make it so accessible. It’s amazing the difference those new stickers make. I really need to pick this guy up again. Great nostalgia.

[@toypolloi]

Thank you very much!

[@MrLurchsThings]

Those custom stickers REALLY bring it to life. Really like it.

[@garym6315]

LOVED this toy as a kid, and luckily mine hasn't really broken or lost any stickers over the years. It's so vibrant and colourful for a kid's eyes and the sleek 80s bike looks so cool too. I used to also pretend that this figure was Marty McFly (wearing the yellow radiation suit) and would put him in the Raven car I had. Sadly I never had the car with the gull-wing doors like the DeLorean so I had to make do with my reverse gull-wing doors. 🤣

[@sithcarebear1]

Wow Dave!! Nice job on those windscreens and the custom stickers really make the toy pop. They are a simple touch but highly impactful. I also love that repro box. The fact that is comes with so many small additions, really make the difference. Thank you for the share!👍

[@toypolloi]

Thanks 👍

[@jamesberryjr5300]

it's always a pleasure watching you work your magic

[@Tim-57]

Hey Dave Fun video to watch and your imagination still impresses me. 🙂 Cheers from 🇨🇦

[@TheRowlandstone73]

Brilliant job yet again and as enjoyable as ever to watch. Special mention for Ant's boxes too.. Fair play, they're amazing!

[@jasonshiers5771]

My first ever mask toy , I used to have pretty much everything in the Mask toy range, wish I had kept it all as it must be worth a fortune now days

[@erickavery1]

Man the windscreen aside your stickers make it look like a much nicer toy. ToyHax should hire you as a sticker designer lol.

[@ReynoldsReviews]

What a brilliant watch Dave, so clever, and I’m always captivated by the photoshop part of your videos, the updated decals work perfectly, such an exceptional end result, looks brilliant paired with Ants box, thank you for the shout out, glad I could help 👍🤜🤛

[@toypolloi]

Thank you, and my pleasure. The boxes just finish the toy off. Cheers

[@thetworoos]

Great custom restoration! The extra stickers really make the vehicle look more finished than just the original ones!

[@Veepar]

The cartoony windshield was my favorite.

[@The1queencollector]

Love those little boxes, Adventure people could have those as well

[@BlackArroToons]

Looks cool. I can imagine a modern styled Condor in Kawasaki Green that transforms into a Drone Copter.

[@MiKeMiDNiTe-77]

You're the man Mr Toy Polloi love your channel! 🤖

[@MrIrrepressible]

Ah good old condor, the only mask vehicle i got as a present bcos it was so affordable. The other bigger mask toys were deemed to expensive by my parents lol

[@garym6315]

Have to say, I'm totally blown away by your photoshop skills. I know more savvy people with existing photoshop skills may find it boring but I'd love to see a full length video going through that stage and hear how you get the artistic idea for what you create in there.

[@kaaawasakiproductions]

Another incredible video! Always fascinating to watch and I learn something new every time. I especially love the photoshop work that you always do. I would totally love to watch a video of you creating the stickers with you talking about the process and the steps you take with the program to create them. I work with photoshop, but I never learned the applications that you are using. If you ever do a video/master class, sign me up!! Thanks again. Keep up the great work! ALOHA!!!

[@banzaibobA7V]

Great fix for the windshield. I dig the blue cartoon version. Fantastic job on the custom stickers. They really add a ton to the original vehicle.

[@DOTD25]

You are absolutely brilliant sir. Absolutely brilliant!!

[@paulthegeek]

I always figured Condor was a maxi-scooter rather than a motorcycle. Brad Turner doesn't sit astride it; his feet are together in some kind of foot well, which is more akin to large scooters. Contrast this with, say, Vampire, which Floyd Malloy rides with his legs on either side of the bike. Strangely, Series 3's Bullet is clearly meant to be a racing motorcycle, but is also ridden with legs INboard.

[@lordoftheironbark]

This is great, Dave. I really want to find a Condor to buy now. Always wanted it as a kid. Brilliant!

[@toypolloi]

It's a great toy. Small, but does loads.

[@actionfigureplus]

Always loved this piece from the line, had this one as well.:)

[@jansonsynder]

Loved that toy! I had that as a kid.

[@TheToyBoy1978]

Great work all round Dave, and i actually quite liked the custom blue windshield too! 👌

[@toypolloi]

Thanks! 👍

[@darryllharden9141]

I recently bought a Condor along with the figure for a modest £12 at a toy fair and never really had the Mask toys when I was younger back then but loved the animated series though.

[@Scopay73]

Cool upgrade with the stickers.

[@toypolloi]

Thanks 👍

[@Cha-chingWV]

That sticker sheet is amazing. You could work for a toy company producing that stuff!

[@toypolloi]

Thanks. That would certainly be a dream job.

[@frankschuler2867]

Fantastic job on all of this! Thanks for taking the time to fix these little guys up and even upgrade them. I love your custom sticker artwork. Thank you for sharing! This is a special M.A.S.K. toy for lots of us since it was the only one many of us could afford back then.

[@MyMike305]

This fix is truly amazing 👏

[@art4u2c17]

Those extra stickers are amazing looking 🤩 👍🏻

[@GbreakerDX]

Awesome tutorial going to try it out when I get the materials btw I have another suggestion to restoration video its for the Venom Iguana the front plastic part that house the saw blade part will deteriorate overtime mine has started crumbling away My guess the plastic use in it is not as good as its main body. Anyway, all the videos you posted really inspire me to give life to my old childhood toys😊😊😊

[@toypolloi]

I don't have that vehicle so will keep a look out for it as a future project. Cheers

[@davidct1157]

Had this set it was fun

[@retrorevival617]

Great custom condor and brad turner looking all dapper with the new paint job! Looks so much more displayable with the replacement Windshield and completes the look especially with the extra decals. Love it! ;)

[@veiledrecalcitrance4314]

I think it would look good with a more domed windscreen (like modern street bikes), plus it would probably be much easier to make, a lot less Plastiweld and fitting parts together, just the pieces to hold it in the bike nose, and you could easily do it with a clear polycarbonate. Just an idea

[@luvz2reed]

Love your sticker work!

[@toypolloi]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@chrismayer3919]

Where were cool decal addendums like that back in the 80s?

[@jonboldrey5339]

Dave at vtr an luke at rr b loving this dave!

[@MOTUSHORTV]

geniooooo increible!!! como logras las cosas te felicito!!!!

[@SPRTN2043]

Just awesome 👌 👏

[@stevenguevara2184]

A convertible helicopter could become problematic several different ways. Those villains must have went with the first design that came in

[@Pawelism]

Polycarbonate is hard to stick to for normal paint, but Tamiya also has a special line for it. You'll want to look for ths PS series instead of the TS series. I think PS31 specifically for smoke.

[@toypolloi]

Thanks. I will check it out. I just happened to have the PS stuff so thought I would give it a go.

[@jon9550]

Have you thought about dyeing the clear polycarbonate using black RIT dye? Depending how long you leave the windscreen in the dye solution you can get different levels of darkness, and the color should be fairly uniform.

[@MisterBobot]

Great job... I really enjoy watching your videos! :)

[@toypolloi]

Thank you very much!

[@ralphjohnson4383]

With the black and clear one you can wet sand/polish them to remove all the scratches. Progressive paper or car rubbing compound Always impressed with your work, stickers are amazing

[@1995RangeRover]

You're amazing! :D

[@MrReverbdeluxe]

Fantastic job as always! Have you ever considered making a mold of the windscreen and casting a copy with tinted resin for a more transparent look closer to the original?

[@peterjf7723]

It may be able to make the windscreen in one piece of plastic by vacuum forming. You could then use clear plastic or tinted plastic.

[@toypolloi]

Thanks. I didn't have an original windscreen, so making one was the only option. And I think many other people will be in the same position. And that's what I try to show in my videos, if you have one to copy, go for it. But I think many people won't and will need to make something from scratch.

[@rfrances9165]

As I was looking at your work filing and shaping the piece, I started to wonder how it would look of you added micromesh to the polishing of this pieces to give them a high gloss finish without using spray.

[@knuthamsun6106]

this is so freakin cool 👌😣

[@davecardoza4762]

Hello Dave. I've always loved the MASK toy vehicles. The whole gimmick about vehicles transforming into other vehicle modes is still fascinating to me. It wasn't as popular as MOTU, Gi.Joe nor Star Wars but it's still amazing to me. I have had many of this collecting pieces, but for financial reasons, I have sold them. Now, slowly, I'm trying to acquire them again. I have a Jackhammer that needs the wheels fixed or replaced. It needs some love. How do I fix the wheels and if not, where to look for replacements? Thank you for another awesome video Dave. Looking forward to more vids. Cheers!

[@BronyNumber4096]

🥰My very first M.A.S.K. toy!

[@fen4554]

I've been enjoying your repair videos of all my childhood toys. I'm curious; is this a hobby for you or have you turned it into a profitable side gig?

[@toypolloi]

Thanks. Just a hobby. I have a video on my second channel about this very subject and wether it can be profitable. Cheers

[@DougPalumbo]

Outstanding! Better than the original!

[@knuthamsun6106]

dave is there a video in which you discuss printer options such as color laser vs inkjet? do inkjet printed stickers ‘bleed’ if they get wet? I see people re-carding figures & so on, I always wonder what printers they use

[@peterjf7723]

You can get water slide decal paper, it comes with an acrylic sealant that you paint over your image to stop the ink running.

[@toypolloi]

I use a cheap inkjet printer for all my work. And have no experience of others as they are often expensive. With inkjet you can spray them with a lacquer. You'll see me do that depending on the project.

[@zns72]

What kind of sticker paper are you using?

[@toypolloi]

Glossy sticky backed A4. No particular brand, just whatever looks good when I buy it. Lots of ebay sellers. Cheers

[@johnpopeko]

The orange peel look of the paint really takes away from the hard work you did. Tip: bring some water to a slight boil, turn off the heat then place the rattle can in the water for about 2 minutes. Shake well, use light coats instead of piling. The heat will thin the paint and repressurize the can. You could also use glossy black bare metal foil.

[@loganjorgensen]

Pretty cool project, love the ones where a variety of techniques come up. Guess painting was omitted for time sake but I do love to watch you paint. ;) When I saw that box I thought that has to be a reproduction since it looks so pristine heh, the price sticker is a nice touch. Stuff inside too wow, some impressive replication effort there. :D

[@goldennugget5680]

Primero 😄

[@sylvanyoung]

Si . 🏁😏👍

I think the Instagram link is broken, Mr Polloi

He's shut his account for a short while. Hopefully he will be back soon, so I'll leave the link for now. Cheers
