Such a beautiful toy line, both from a kid’s and collector’s perspective. The chrome, the action features, the attention to detail: just gorgeous. I am happy with my collection and it will always keep a special place in my heart ❤
So pleased I have managed to get all of series one (except Scott, T Bob and Boulder Hill) and most of series 2 as this is such a fine toy line. Great review film, well done!
I had alot of the MASK toys back in the 80s. I remember my 1st and still my favourite to this day was Jackhammer broncho. And switchable came in second and followed by condor. I loved Brad turner's helmet because it reminded me of a stormtrooper helmet. And the stormtrooper was my favourite kenner figure prior to MASK. Many of the vehicles were just as amazing as well. Wish I still had those today. They are now stupidly expensive today. Good news is they are making a comeback in 2025 by Loyal Subjects. Can't wait.
What a great video, love this toy line and have fond memories of MASK, and love my collection as an adult. Really enjoyed listening to your take on the line and your guests to. Looking forward to seeing what the loyal subjects come up with and hopefully vehicles we never got back in the day 👍
Holy crap guess who’s back? Formbx257 m.ua-cam.com/video/caj7jFVbn2Q/v-deo.html Can you send this man some free Delta 17 as a surprise I don’t have a number or address, but I know who does half the battle does so you have to get a hold of him
@JoePal-c3n dude! I was just about to comment on one of your videos to share he's back! We may contact him in due time. He is just back so it would feel too sudden. I'm happy to give him some space first. That said, I have never connected with him directly on social media before. Thanks for posting this Joey!
I can not believe he is back. And from seeing the glow on his eyes he will be making tones of vids. Maybe he was buying lots so then he could just roll out the vids without stopping. But for sure this is an awesome Christmas gift. I think once he reads all the comments or maybe he was reading the comments because I kept asking him to come back cause everyone misses him.
No doubt the "Thunderhawk" influenced my eventual love of 82-92 Camaros and Firebirds. I owned a red 1991 Camaro for about 19 years and many, many miles.
Thanks to all the creators that participated in making this, PLEASE make the extra effort to like the video and subscribe to all three channels. It might be a rough couple of years for the hobby and we need to put a little more into keeping the community strong going forward. This wasn't my favorite line. The figures and vehicles weren't compatible with either the 1/18 scale Joe and Star Wars lines or the He-Man size guys of other lines at the time. It was a little odd because while Kenner didn't invent the 1/18 scale they were responsible for making it the phenom it became in the 70s and 80s. I'm guessing that a scaled up version of "Boulder Hill" might have had too high a price tag for most 80s kids and instead the semi-truck would have ended up being the big piece in the line. I always thought playsets were overrated anyway. I wonder if the M.A.S.K. fans would have traded "Boulder Hill" for Gi Joe/Star Wars compatibility. I would have especially because Kenner put out a far better vehicle toy product than Hasbro.
Thanks for the comment. Yes - indeed I'd love everyone to subscribe to Tony's Figs and Chasing 80s Toys (both links are in my video description). I got used to the smaller scale pretty quickly. The series 1 figures and Boulder Hill remain the most iconic to me amongst this range.
You're welcome.😊 I must say it's interesting to see how other countries or even continents have different experiences with the same toylines. It's just a shame most of the toys were sold when we got older. I think I still have some of my old MASK toys in the attic.

Had a bunch of these as a child, including boulder hill. My parents binned them all to make room in the loft in the early 2000's. I will never forgive them. Hope it makes a modern comeback.
@ Thanks! After watching your MASK vids, I started pricing them out and seeing what might fit in the ol' collection. Might take some time but it inspired me to look into these again.
I know I have one or two figures and one has a mask, I have a part of the helicopter bike, now MASK and GI Joe Crossover would be super awesome with all those vehicles, Great Video as always Ken
@@ToyKennections there is a Transformer that is just like the Cobra night raven so that would also be a cool crossover 2009 Transformers Revenge of the Fallen Leader class Jetfire but what transformer would they make the drone out of lol
I remember M.A.S.K, I was able to watch one rerun episode. And the intro music and transformation really attracted me. But I could not afford to collect any of the toys. All my meager money went into Transformers...
M. A. S. K. was a fun line. One character they could've used was a stunt motorcyclist ala Evel Knievel whose cover was as a showman with a modified motorcycle that can convert to an armed rocket powered recon cycle. As for the operator He/She could be named Nicodemus Storm or Maggie Schade. The Mask? Wraith (provides limited phasing ability for the operator). The vehicle name? SkyRocket.
I really liked the M.A.S.K. toys. I didn't have many. My fist one was Condor, then The Thunderhawk and finally the raven. The fist 2 I had the short helmets abs I still have the raven complete
Matt Trakker's headsculpt is very similar to that of G. I. Joe's Blizzard. The "K" standing for Kommand seems lifted from the German spelling of the word.
Sorry Ken, but you got the acronym completely wrong! M.A.S.K. most obviously stands for More Awesome Stuff, Ken! I always look forward to your new videos and enjoy re-watching the elder ones! M.A.S.K. was always a favorite toyline of mine because I was enthralled with Tractor Trailer Trucks, cars, bikes, planes, and pretty much anything with a motor and tires since I was born. M.A.S.K. made it a reality for me to substitute my hot wheels, Ertl, Nylint, and Tonka vehicles with highly articulated, figure-toting masterpieces that offered me tons of play options, like my all-time favorite toyline, GI Joe. IF only M.A.S.K. was produced in 3.75" o-ring scale, my childhood possibilities would've been more epic than they already were!
Lol. I totally thought it was a troll post at first as I hadn't woken up for my morning coffee yet 😁. Thx for watching the older videos! I do wonder how Loyal Subjects will handle the brand going forward. O-ring would be nice but I'd be happy with 2000s era body types like they did with the 2008 Trakker figure.
04:32 The guy who designed the vehicle's animation models claims Manta and Shark were not (originally) intended to become toys. Manta's original animation model has a conversation different from the toy that originally released
I would as well but it has to come with a delta 17 figure. Another great crossover that will go well with any line up. But Hasbro is not smart enough to have delta17 figures go with there vehicles or crossover into the line. It would be epic. That’s why everyone else will be doing it but not Hasbro. Lmao 😂
i hope they incorporate something, even an image/name into the upcoming joe/tf crossover... just makes $en$e and being a hasbro ip, yeah its so doable...
MASK was a Great line, as far as Vehicles go. I loved them, but I'm really a Figures Guy(3 3/4 O Ring to be exact). I'm hoping that they will revamp this line into 3 3/4 O Ring Figures & Vehicles to go with. Hasbro has the ability to do this, so why won't they?🤦🏾♂️
@@ToyKennections You get it. I not only want the original toys brought back (including the Shark) but also I want some original designs as well. Imagine a Ford Excursion conversion into an attack vehicle for MASK. I love that idea.
@@johnnymason2460 yup. Transformers did that with adding new characters to their lore... Drift, Bulkhead, Windblade, all interacting with longtime characters.
Good cartoon (except for that annoying kid and the robot) and great toy line but i think i only had 1 or 2 of them, as a kid i wanted them to be the same size has GI Joe and they could've been but i guess they had a budget to respect.... i would like to see them return, if The Loyal Subject have the license thats good but wtf are they waiting for!?
No it wasn't. It had the European logo on the box. Don't forget Europe is divided into different zones. Germany for example is notorious for being stricter than the rest of Europe. When travelling to our neighbouring countries, we could have different versions of the same toy, all marked for sale in Europe.
Interesting! I know some friends grew up with the lighter missile for sure. If its anything like other toy lines though, sometimes overstock from one country would get repackaged in region specific boxes to send to another to fill demand. Or yeah, select regions simply got the darker missile. Thank you for sharing this experience.
M.A.S.K. is still one of my favorite cartoons from back then when I was a kid they we're a combination of G.I.Joe and first generation Transformers
Such a beautiful toy line, both from a kid’s and collector’s perspective. The chrome, the action features, the attention to detail: just gorgeous. I am happy with my collection and it will always keep a special place in my heart ❤

I loved mask. Looking forward to this
What a great video. The Gator is still one of the greatest and most memorable toys of my childhood.
Thx for watching. I certainly played with Gator lots as a kid!
I also loved MASK. The theme song is still great. Thanks Ken!
Theme song remains my fave for the 80s!
I liked this as a kid (watched the show and had a couple of the toys), but this is one property I have yet to revisit as an adult.
Thanks for reminding me that I'm still crushing on Gloria Baker. Thanks for ruining my day. ;)
😅🤣
No doubt the "Thunderhawk" influenced my eventual love of 82-92 Camaros and Firebirds. I owned a red 1991 Camaro for about 19 years and many, many miles.
Solid presentation as always, Ken.
Thx Allison! Some of your Kenner catalog scans came in handy here.
Excellent video!!! 😘👍
Woot! Thx for watching Gazz! 😘👍
I don't know why he mentions Hurricane being called Nightstalker in the cartoon as it never was in the version I saw in the UK.
great video. a line that has always been in my top 5 since i was a kid
Absolutely loved this line!

You're in for a ton of fun with this line!
@ Absolutely! I still have a ways to go, at least for the particular selection I would like to have. But it has been fun picking them up.
Loving your history videos great work!
Thx man! Much love for your videos and your amazing collection as well.

For sure. I mean, my "Fort America" GI Joe set came with a Canadian flag. I always found that funny 😅
Wonderful video!

Check out Ramen Toy for their modern Thunderhawk and Shark.
Rhino needed a trailer. It could've opened up into a mobile base or command center for MASK.
That'd be cool. Give it that Optimus Prime look.
Great vid! New subscriber. Looking forward to watching more!

It's madness that someone hasn't made a mask movie or TV live action series it could be spectacular and the centurions aswell
Great video
🙌
I remember M.A.S.K, I was able to watch one rerun episode. And the intro music and transformation really attracted me. But I could not afford to collect any of the toys. All my meager money went into Transformers...
Please do Jace and the Wheeled Warriors

One character they could've used was a stunt motorcyclist ala Evel Knievel whose cover was as a showman with a modified motorcycle that can convert to an armed rocket powered recon cycle. As for the operator He/She could be named Nicodemus Storm or Maggie Schade.
The Mask? Wraith (provides limited phasing ability for the operator).
The vehicle name? SkyRocket.
That's an interesting idea. I love the idea of original designs for MASK vehicles and figures. Keep it up. We need more.
I really liked the M.A.S.K. toys. I didn't have many. My fist one was Condor, then The Thunderhawk and finally the raven. The fist 2 I had the short helmets abs I still have the raven complete
I think a lot of people started with Condor. I loved the other 2 you mentioned for sure as well.
@ToyKennections I cast believe I still have the raven
Matt Trakker's headsculpt is very similar to that of G. I. Joe's Blizzard.
The "K" standing for Kommand seems lifted from the German spelling of the word.
Hmmm. Now I may have to look at my Blizzard and imagine he is Trakker lol.
It's a hard choice for best theme song between MASK and Thundercats.
Sorry Ken, but you got the acronym completely wrong! M.A.S.K. most obviously stands for More Awesome Stuff, Ken! I always look forward to your new videos and enjoy re-watching the elder ones!
M.A.S.K. was always a favorite toyline of mine because I was enthralled with Tractor Trailer Trucks, cars, bikes, planes, and pretty much anything with a motor and tires since I was born. M.A.S.K. made it a reality for me to substitute my hot wheels, Ertl, Nylint, and Tonka vehicles with highly articulated, figure-toting masterpieces that offered me tons of play options, like my all-time favorite toyline, GI Joe. IF only M.A.S.K. was produced in 3.75" o-ring scale, my childhood possibilities would've been more epic than they already were!
Lol. I totally thought it was a troll post at first as I hadn't woken up for my morning coffee yet 😁.
Thx for watching the older videos! I do wonder how Loyal Subjects will handle the brand going forward.
O-ring would be nice but I'd be happy with 2000s era body types like they did with the 2008 Trakker figure.
@ToyKennections lol, sorry I made your troll antenna go up! The early 2000s era of MASK was a good one indeed!
04:32 The guy who designed the vehicle's animation models claims Manta and Shark were not (originally) intended to become toys. Manta's original animation model has a conversation different from the toy that originally released
That's pretty cool to learn!
The only MASK I had was Thunderhawk with the 2nd version of the mask.
That's a good one to have, though!
Mask should be 3 3/4 o-ring scale or even a mix of O-ring and modern construction to cover all collectors
I'd buy that!
I would as well but it has to come with a delta 17 figure. Another great crossover that will go well with any line up. But Hasbro is not smart enough to have delta17 figures go with there vehicles or crossover into the line. It would be epic. That’s why everyone else will be doing it but not Hasbro. Lmao 😂
i hope they incorporate something, even an image/name into the upcoming joe/tf crossover... just makes $en$e and being a hasbro ip, yeah its so doable...
That would be cool.
They did in the 25th gijoe line. Matt tracker. It was just the one though.
They could have created a VENOM playset with the VENOM trooper figure. I believe that would have been fair.
I had Rhino, Thunderhawk, Hurricane, Switchblade, Piranha, Jackhammer, and Buzzard
MASK was a Great line, as far as Vehicles go. I loved them, but I'm really a Figures Guy(3 3/4 O Ring to be exact). I'm hoping that they will revamp this line into 3 3/4 O Ring Figures & Vehicles to go with. Hasbro has the ability to do this, so why won't they?🤦🏾♂️
