Anyone collects these toys from the 80s cartoon?

Excellent concept on the vehicles and mask but I don't see many of them around.

Would love to hear from collectors what what you have in your collection.

Thanks.

The Theme Song kinda sticks in your head after you listen to it, doesn't it...

That's a nice collection, VERT. Had them from the 80's or collected over the years?

Any chance of posting pics of them?

Most are when I was a kid. Would love to take pics. But they are in storage due to space issues. But next time I dig them out sure :D

Did you know it has a second verse (http://www.shukilevy.com/Shuki_Levy_Online/MASK_Theme.html)?

Between myself and my brother we had most of the M.A.S.K. toys. I think they got more play time than Transformers too, not sure.

and where are they now Tober?

In various states of play-wear in a huge cardboard box in Perth. We didn't have any of the really rare ones like Wolfbeast or Skybolt tho.

I have re-aquired Thunderhawk, Switchblade and Condor as they were my faves. :cool:

I loved Mask as a kid. I had Matt Tracker and whatever his car was called. I really wanted a T-bob toy for some reason...:p

I always thought the Rhino Rig would've been more than awesome!

I still have a MASK novel "the Deathstone."

Now that I think about it, I saw a mock game somewhere in a book and it had a mix of cartoon characters, and one of them was the leader of Venom. Man I know it was recent and I think I should still have it, but darned if I can remember what it was... Grr, it's gonna bug me all night now. I will ahve to get home and tear the place apart until I find it no less. Not good when you finish work at midnight... :P

Come to think of it M.A.S.K would be one of those cartoons that would work quite well as a live-action film!

If movie studios are out to rape our wallets and childhoods they may as well be comprehensive :p

I had a few M.A.SK toys back in the day. They weren't the most durable of toys. I kind of broke them all.

I didn't have many as a kid, just the Thunderhawk & a couple of figs, had a huge DinoRiders collection though, combined they were fun to play with. It wasn't until I got much older that I aqquired some of the other vehicles I had wanted. If memory serves me right I picked up a Condor from OTCA's Fatbot, awesome little vehicle. The rest have just come from swapmeet's & toyfairs.

I have a Volcano which is probably my personal fav, I think it has to do with the tires. The one vehicle I would like but have never had the pleasure of owning is the SwitchBlade, even just thinking of it now has prompted a quick scan of Ebay.

It seems that M.A.S.K. doesn't command the attention it deserves anymore and most people from that era loved the cartoon but has now forgotten about them.

Rumors of a M.A.S.K. movie in the making may initiate a revival of these excellent toys.

Great to know there are still widely available in the hands of collectors.

I'd love to see these revived with modern engineering!
