    Current debate in Casa Toadimus: should we play The Touch as one of the songs at the ceremony? I say yes, she simply stares at me in an exasperated manner!

    Compromise on it, give her First Dance pick and ask for it as the Last Dance (when everybody's a bit merrier)? (Oh, and dedicate it to her maybe? Unless she's exceptionally DO NOT WANT.)

    Most of my childhood memories seem toon-related, sometimes :rolleyes: . I loved Pole Position...was surprised to learn later in life how short the run actually was.

    Transformers was the only cartoon that could ever get me up that early - I hardly ever got to see Jayce And The Wheeled Warriors because it was on so early.

    The only MASK toy I had was the Condor. I wasn't keen because the figures were too small. I would generally avoid anything smaller than a Star Wars figure, for some reason.

    AND on Channel 4 too!!! You had to be in deep for 80s Action Adventure 'toons to stray that far into the Channels! A FOURTH channel? Madness! Look at us now though, eh?
    Could it have also been a bit of their freaky blank-eyed Auton faces too? At least Joes had actual eyes (as well as the additional height).

    Hmmm. Actually, if you were to revive MASK, for the Nostalgia hit of "same size as when you were a kid proportionally/psychologically" Generations seems to be mining MASK'd have to be Joe scale, I reckon

    Alas I did not. So it still remains on the "to track down one day" pile.

    Did you... did you just sex up Gloria Baker? I'm unsure how I feel about this. Previously I always thought she was as interesting as a combination of Gloria Hunniford and Cheryl Baker (i.e. not very.). But now? Straight to the top of the sexiest MASK figure list. Sorry, Alex Sector.

    Also, MP Sunstreaker re-deco when?

    Ah! I see.

    How unfortunate. That poor naked lady seems to have become the victim of an RTA.

    Is she naked? Whups. It's so tiny and bad quality I assumed she was wearing a bikini or something. Better go edit...

    TBH, my eyes are so bad I can't be sure. But in my head... mmm... Oh, so that's why I'm going slowly blind!

    Condor was my only MASK toy as well. I still have the vehicle, but the figure and helmet left for the island of lost toys years ago...

    Wow, I just made a list of the MASK toys I had and I am surprised by how many there were! I had:

    Thunderhawk *
    Condor
    Raven (beauty!)
    Bandit
    Wildcat (very good fun, this one!)
    Razorback (which broke quickly)

    Piranha
    Vampire
    Iguana
    Buzzard (not good)

    I also had several of the figure packs:

    Matt Trakker with Jungle Challenge
    Matt Trakker with Coast Patrol
    Bruce Sato with Rescue Mission
    Miles Mayhem with Venom's Revenge
    Alex Sector & Buddy Hawks

    * By FAR the most iconic vehicle I had. I even got that classic feel when I unwrapped it on that long past Christmas!

    I did, and still do, hanker after Rhino, Switchblade, Gator, Jackhammer, Firecracker, Manta, and Stinger.

    What a great toy range it was!

    Because I need regular breaks from writing up our every dreary procedure that my predecessors failed to document, here is a list of the M.A.S.K. toys I had as a kid. The ones friends had, and the ones I never even saw. 'Enjoy'.

    Had: Thunderhawk, Condor, Piranha, Jackhammer, Hurricane, Stinger, Vampire, Iguana, Coast Patrol Matt Trakker.
    Friends had: Boulder Hill, Rhino, Firecracker, Gator, T-Bob, Switchblade, Firefly, Raven, Slingshot, Bandit, Dynamo, Jackal.
    Never even saw but wanted quite badly: Volcano, Outlaw, Goliath, Bulldoze, Manta, Buzzard, 'laser Command' Hornet and Ratfang.
    Enh: Everything else.

    Ha! Great minds... @Rack n Ruin
