    Love Micromasters too, I've got at least 90% of em. Love making cities with the bases, unfortunately micro cities and toddlers don't mix! "Hey, where's vanquish gone? Oh my one year olds ran down the hall with him!" After I've retrieved the choking hazard I then return to find the two year old trying to transform flat top! "Daddy I think I broke it!" (Thankfully he hasn't)

    I remember having the jeep with the hydrofoil inside as a kid. Bloody loved that toy, I did.

    "Dad, I bloody love this toy" one would imagine I said, seconds before receiving an unholy bollocking for using the word bloody years before I learned it.

    Stupid MASK.

    Man I had loads of MASK figures when I was a kid including the Rhino and the MASK hq garage, never got the switchblade though and I always wanted it because it looked awesome. One of the most kickass theme songs of the 80's as well.

    Oh and MASK rocks. They need to re-make it so I can amaze my wee boy with the original toys I have in the loft!

    MASK definitely needs a revival. I picked up the dvds on Amazon last year, still havent gotten round to watching them yet.

    New M.A.S.K. Toys. Give them to me. Hell, I'd take reissues.

    Best Theme song of the 80's goes to Jayce and the Wheeled Warriors. Fact.

    My mate thiefed all the M.A.S.K. stuff the local toyshop had in it (not just some of it, all of it!) They closed down shortly afterwards, leaving only the Woolworth's where I bought my last childhood TF. Never had any M.A.S.K., except the green-and-black motorbike with the chap in yellow to ride it. I don't remember what it/he was called now. They did look like fun, though!

    Wow, that's the one! Thanks Maz! I used to pretend the dude was Emirate Xaaron and that his human head was a hologram disguise that he had to make up for not being able to transform.

    @Doucoo: Brad Turner...nah, that's just what Xaaron wanted us humans to think! :)

    I was born in the 90's but as my family were pretty hard up most of my toys came from boot sales, as a result I had alot of 80's toys including a few mask ones (not that I had any idea that they were mask) I had the green tank thing and the 4x4.

    I had no idea that figure was mask though! I loved that little yellow chap, I used to play with him in the bath as I though he was a diver

    Dogtanian!!! Nah it probably is Ulysses 31.

    Condor was the gateway drug for M.A.S.K., I think he was only about £2.50 and lots of kids had him. Then you upgraded to Gator and before you knew it you had Rhino.

    I love all those early M.A.S.K. gimmick laden toys, only thing that could have made them better were some electrics. Jackhammer is a particular favourite.
