M.A.S.K. toys?

[spiderken17]

Does any know a good place to get m.a.s.k. stuff besides ebay? Its the same stuff on there and they are always overpriced.
Cheers

I have not checked any of these prices, so they could be a lot worse than eBay's prices, but a quick search provided me with some links:

Im a huge fan of M.A.S.K.... Planning on re-collecting as well.. had a flick on ebay not long ago and OMG so expensive.

i know one thing i'll be doing for my kids is NOT throwing out any of their toys (and not letting them throw any toy out either lol)

[drifand]

Mine were all thrown....:(

I had quite a number, sucks as they were good toys bashing around and wont break like collector's toys nowadays.

I has Starcom as well.

Come to think of it there are hardly anymore nice cartoons like these anymore.

Mine were thrown into the garbage bins in my teens...
I regret it a little but not that much as I derived a lot of fun with em and they were really worn out and used by then... unlike my transformers that I took real good care of.
Raven was my favorite MASK toy.

Hey, you need to join FB toy collector groups as there were a couple going for cheap recently.
MIB stuff with stickers unapplied.
Mostly the series with the 2 figures... The other being a doppleganger and made in translucent plastic.
I've no clue on their names.

Yup don't go wrecking those childhood memories guys :). M.A.S.K. is one of the worst at that as it is so ridiculously wholesome & has the obligatory "safety message" in every episode like so many from the 80's.

I think I have about half a dozen vehicles in a box somewhere that I was going to sell one day when I get reorganized. I did love the show and toys growing up

Have you tried looking on eBay UK and other European countries? I seem to remember there being absolute bargains from Italy and maybe Denmark... That was a few years ago though.

I have Thunderhawk, Switchblade and Condor, those were amongst my faves as a kid, along with Manta. Between my brother and me we had most of them, still tucked away in a garage somewhere in various states of playwear.

And yeah, loved the show as a kid, but I can't stand watching it anymore now.

[spiderken17]

My brother and I only had a few as kids but it was easily one of my faves. Who doesn't like vehicles that turn into war machines. We used to make Lego ones since we didn't have more M.A.S.K toys.

I've found mask toys to be awfully fragile, cool as they are it's hard to find ones in perfect condition.

As for the cartoon, I don't think it is that much worse than the other toy commercial toons, it is a might slower though. To be honest I can't watch more than an episode of most of those old shows without getting bored, Transformers included.

I do find it amusing that in the final season Venom dis the PSA's though. Who knew that all of Venom just hung out at Miles Mayhem's mansion.

Who knew Miles was such a paternal figure.

The cartoon bored me to tears. After a few episodes all i wanted to do was rip off T-Bob's limbs & put the Switchblade into a nosedive
The toys on the other hand were all kinds of awesome :D

[spiderken17]

Speaking of all kinds of awesome. Look and ask and ye shall receive. I picked these up from a private sale for a good price. Best of all they are all complete! Masks and all. This guy has had them since childhood and looked after them. He was happy they were going to a good home.
Stinger is my favourite (being a muscle car fan and all). The chrome wear on them is bad but that is something M.A.S.K. toys are known for.

As someone suggested above on Facebook there are a few groups you can join. For example try Aussie Geek Collector or Australian Action Figure Collector. Look for a guy named Jerome he currently has Rhino and Vampire for sale both boxed. He also has some nice generation 1 Transformers and MOTU stuff as well. :) And finally if you haven't already check out www.matt-trakker.com they have some interesting information on all things M.A.S.K.

I loved Starcom back then. Do you have a gallery of your Starcom collection?

Nah I was playing my toys. Would not think they were collectors items.
