    Goliath was an interesting truck and f1 combination .
    Loved razorback and wildcat.
    I had thunderhawk and thought it was ace. Pretty lame flight config, but you gotta admit the car was a sleek looking awesome beast. I ended up with Condor somehow and despite the fact that the driver rode it like a scooter I liked it as a speedy motorcycle.

    Always wanted Sly Rax (loved that name) and Pirana, as well as (naturally) Rhino.

    Really loved the names of the characters though, Miles Mayhem, Sly Rax, etc etc. Watching the cartoon again now actually. Best 80s cartoon opening theme ever!

    Mask toys were the leading selling toys at one point, I could miss an episode of transformers but not mask.
    They were not overly expensive if you compared to a transformer toy.
    It's was a great fact that their mask powers are used in combat.

    Still remembered how long they took to release condor as it was a simple motor bike but yet looked so cool in the show.

    They started to die off when introducing split second I think.

    I always like Slingshot, maybe because I grew up with a Mitsubishi Starwagon and liked to think that there could be something cool about my mums van

    ...? Condor was in the first wave M.A.S.K. toys. The only three toys that were slow to be released compared to their presence in the show were Hurricane, Manta and Gloria Baker, all of whom are in the opening credits, yet didn't see release until 1986-87.

    Did anyone else read and collect all the M.A.S.K. books as a kid? Those were (and still are) awesome, and had holograms on the front cover:

    Yep, I read all the M.A.S.K. books in my primary school library a few times over lol.

    I also have a M.A.S.K. mailaway clock/stopwatch somewhere, wonder what it's worth...

    Goria baker didn't made it.

    I was living in Singapore and condor didn't came in till the second line of toys were in.

    Looking at the database a lot of the last run never made it as mask was dying out in Singapore
