yeah, you love 'em and you know it. I got these, as most of my toys, from my grandfather when I was little. man, back in the 80's there were toy stores everywhere. the coolest things about these are that the vehicles are all real, semi-licensed models, and for all intents and purposes, are in scale with alternators. I haven't seen the cartoon since I was little, and like most of them should probably let them lie. But it had such a catchy theme song and when different members would get called into action, there were these cool sequences, I'm dying to see at least one good episode. anyway, enjoy, and you can see the full gallery here. mask was the good guys and venom was the bad guys.

Ah, the memories. M.A.S.K appeared here about the time my interest in TF's died down (which was as soon as i saw an add for Cyclonus and Scourge)
Had a good chunk of them as a kid.
Up until about two and a half years back, I *EVERYTHING* MISB. Including a bunch of Europe only stuff that has since dried up.
Since there are only about 55 toys in the line, it's pretty easy to collect.

I love that line. I'm about 4 figures shy of a complete set of the figures. I don't have many of the vehicles though.

MASK was definately awsome. I really liked how each episode of the show featured a different team of characters. It was always exciting to see who the computer was going to pick for the team.

I loved the show. I had a few of the toys. I had the one in the 8th and 9th pics on the Mask side and the purple Trans Am from the Venom side. Of the ones you don't have in the gallery, I had Thunderwing(I think that was the name of the Leaders car. The camero that had gul wing door like the Dolerean) and an orange and white stock car that came with a clear fig as well as a regular fig. I remember I always wanted the green motorcycle/hellicopter, but I never got it.
I would so love to see reissues of the toys and a new show. Has anyone else seen the thing in some theaters that used to be before the previews started. It was a Nascar and coke ad. It stated with a Cowboy and few other people with drasticly different jobs looking at a blinking watch and all leaving. Of course we then find out they are Nascar drivers, but for as minute it had me excited since it looked like they were doing a new MASK show or movie at least.

I loved MASK back in the day, the toys were awesome and I liked some of them more then my TF's.
Ironically what made me love then, the big size and 80's chunk factor is what turns me off the idea of collecting them again.
I even had the petrol station, that was loads better then castle greyskull to me. :D

I've got a near complete Rhino in my apt right now. I used to have Thunderwing, the green copter/bike, the orange dunebuggy, an indy style race car that split into 3, and probably some more I can't remember....

I haven't tried, but I'd assume that most Alts. don't have enough leg room. There might be some Alts. that a MASK figure could fit in.

Man I loved my MASK toys. My brother did too. Loved to throw them, loved to crash them, loved to take them apart without any want to re-assemble them.

I love M.A.S.K. as a kid but never own any of the toys. Raven, green bike/coper, green hotrod (Camaro?), and that big rig were my faves. Be nice if they can reissue all the toys or redo them with modern vehicles and new gimmicks.

That would be me. It's the only MASK figure I have now. Thanks, btw.

This and Thundercats are the two shows that deserve to get the retro treatment, IMO. M.A.S.K. was so cool and had a theme song that even the casual fan can still remember quite easily, though it's a little cheesy now.

I agree with that completely.

I have a figure, it might be from MASK He's a guy in a black and orange costume, and he has black shades and a blonde mullet. He came in a car that was clear on the outside, and when you dunk him in hot water, he turns clear. I don't have the vehicle anymore, but I have the guy. Is he from MASK?
Ah the memories. When I was a kid and would play with toys at my friend's house, I would always be that character, and I had the ability to turn invisible. Those were the good ol' days.
