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

Did you know it has a second verse?

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.

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...

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

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.

loved M.a.s.k toys growing up and the cartoon too! i still have all of my toys in a box somewhere in the garage!

my first i got was Raven and i think i got 2 of it as i broke the 1st one as a kid...

and my favorite gotta be Rhino... loved that truck and the best part is it now looks like Optimus Prime from the movie...

[Oldschool78]

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.
