M.A.S.K | Opening a Mint In Sealed Box (MISB) Kenner Toy! 

That intro was hilarious and also a nice dig at those who believe you can review a toy without removing it from the package. With that said, I must now welcome you the "Openers Club", an exclusive gathering of individuals who get to experience the joy of recreating memories from childhood. Membership comes at a price. There will be those who will label you a monster for destroying (their words, not mine) a piece of history and some might go as far to say that you only open toys for shock value. To those people, I say go eff yourself and I'm pretty sure that you, Tony will join me in that sentiment.

Haha love it, what fun. There is something so exciting and special about opening a fresh toy.

This was great, a toy doing exactly what it was made to do... be opened, constructed and enjoyed, via play and admiration. Ignore rediculous rules, in the end we dont take toys with us, and sometimes touch is all we have to connect with the past.

The purpose of a toy is to be played with. Don't deny them their purpose.

One of my fav V.E.N.O.M. Toys!!!

Hahaha, great intro mate. Love this video. Again, such a great gift Dean. Good call on opening it and enjoying that experience first hand. And you open that box with so much respect. Whats not to like here. Excellent video mate.

That thing is stunningly gorgeous those warehouse toys were really frozen in time . Also nice intro mate

"A face without wrinkles, is a book without words!" That's what I tell myself in order to sleep at night anyway! 😉😂 The same rule applies to toys! 👍🇬🇧

I had a mask poster on my bedroom wall, right next to a Stallone Cobra movie poster, which looking back wasnt really suitable for an 8 year old. But hey it was the 80s man :)

Such a beautiful toy and a wonderfully generous gift from Dean @All Tings 80s. Loved that opening 🤣 and so glad you set Vanessa & the Manta free from the box. Your M.A.S.K. collection is really starting to fill out. 😎🚗🏎🏍🚁

Awesome, good on you Tony for opening that box, it actually gave me a nostalgic feeling of being at a mates birthday party and watching him opening his presents. So can we expect some more M.A.S.K reviews now?

Dean has a fantastic channel snd great content, Tony thanks for sharing opening this with us. You opening brings back fantastic memories of getting mask toys when i was young.

Probably one of the few toys where you have to actually untighten screws, rather than having to tighten them out of the box, or apply floorwax out of the box to tighten joints ;)

Thank you for sharing this experience, toys are meant to be touched, played with, and admired; otherwise it's just a nice looking box with something inside. Thank you for freeing it from its prison, and yes I really do see unopened toys as being in prison. I also appreciated how respectful you were of that box, just because I wanted to see the toy released doesn't mean that I wanted to see such a great box damaged. Great addition to your collection.

as close to travelling back in time as we can get great toy great video

Can't believe what I've just witnessed an unprovoked attack on some defenseless sticky tape from the 80s absolutely brutal! 😂

What an amazing toy. They really don't make toys like this today. My favorite was always the the Gator Jeep with Dusty Hayes, but this one is just fantastic.

I was hoping you open it and find out it's empty and just hear you swear in Australian for 13 minutes. But seriously that was amazing your buddy Dean sent you this one as a gift.

Sweet toy. I was 17/18 when this hit the market. Never got into them. Wish we’d have had them around 80’ or so…

I had only 3 MASK toys, the Raven, Boulder Hill, and the Manta. The Manta is one of the simplest yet impressive toys in the MASK line.

i loved MASK. keep hoping it makes a comeback. and yes! open it up. toys are meant to be played with

love the stab to folks who do a review of just a box / carded figure!

A time capsule not touched in over 30 years 👍

I bought mine from TRU in 1988 and still own it. The only MASK toy I still own. Kept the box too. Could never part with it as I used to own a 300zx.

A toy in a video. I was hoping for a live reading of a wiki page, showing the actual toy is revolutionary! 😄

Awsome mint clean tony!

Apologies to anyone who does like to keep them sealed, that’s perfectly fine, and that’s your collection. For me I don’t see anything wrong with opening it. If it was me, I’d open it. I think it’s quite sad when I see toys in opened and sealed, they’ve never been opened and played with, and it’s that fact which makes it quite sad. I’d rather have a toy that’s been loved and played with over a box that’s sealed. If I had this I could display the toy along with the great box art.

Hi Tony im glad you enjoyed the manta.I never had Vanessa but yes the following.That bug truck with Alex sector,the green motorcycle from Ricandor.Mask son Scot with the mini robot call bee bop.Nice show thx enjoy the manta.

Didn’t know Vanessa Warfield’s Manta had a vanity plate. Not sure if that was the case in the cartoons. Nice. The Manta’s technically a riff on Marvel’s SHIELD flying car, and the MASK Shark’s a nod to James Bond’s Lotus Esprit from The Spy Who Loved Me. 👍

Dude this is awesome. Two weeks ago I was organising a load of boxes in the back of my studio that came from a lockup with the majority of my childhood stuff in. I found my Manta. The wings no longer lock back in place and the passenger seat is missing… but it’s the manta I had so many adventures with!

Dean! So awsome

I I got a windfall of cash I'd buy all the MASK sets MISB and just spend a day opening them all up.

If you were looking to recreate that 80's experience as a kid, you should have just torn into that box like it meant nothing! I remember boxes being in bits when I was a kid! Love seeing these old toys getting opened. Thumbs up from me!

Great video Tony, that Manta looks super sweet! Always thought it was one of the best from the M.A.S.K. line. Man, M.A.S.K. should be brought back, it combines elements of super heroes, transforming, and vehicle play all together. And yet Hasbro does nothing with it. What a shame.

Great video! Cheers from Chile!

Loved the intro, I envy you on this one Tony. I remember opening my Manta and Goliath when I was a kid, but would love to do it again

Watched the show, never had any of those toys. 87-88, was 11 and 12 at the time. Parents were divorced in 86 so the toys were sparse, but hey, trips to theme parks were plenty......

Growing up, I was the GIJoe kid. My neighbor was the MASK kid. So I was able to play with this but it was his and not mine :)

Waffling on getting a Condor to replace the one a 3rd grader stole from me in 82. Will probably eventually get it. Want to make sure the paint isn't to damaged on the figure though.

This video must be hell for people who prefer to collect mint in box but I do like to watch toys being reviewed

It makes me wonder how many "warehouse finds" are still out there. Maybe a case of 1985 POTF Star Wars action figures from Australia containing Anakin and Yak Face? Lol

It was so awesome watching this video! I have this toy (got it as a child in '87). It is one of my all time favorites from my collection! Very happy to see you get to experience it!

I think you should have used a cotton pad soaked in dishwasher soap and water to wipe down the parts before applying the stickers. The car has spent THIRTY years in a box! Plastic from that era sometimes oozes a tiny bit of grease. That's is why so many vintage toys from that era have stickers curling or falling off.

A bunch of unsold toys/merch found in a warehouse? Haven’t heard neat sounding news like that in a while. For me, if a vintage toy is boxed then it doesn’t really matter if you open or not. The box is still gonna be there (unless you tear it open like crazy), so it’s value is still practically there for the most part. So good move you made there, Tony.

Pro tip for applying stickers. I collect Lego mostly these days and those orange brick separators are fantastic for applying stickers. You can use the flat side to hold the sticker and line it up without handling the sticker too much. I use them all my sticker applying now.

Never knew why Hasbro never brought this brand back it sits between Transformers and Gi Joe though looking at GI Joe targetfied series maybe its for the best hehe.

Were these stored in the warehouse because these are the first edition masks? The smaller ones that were a hazard if a kid would suck them down.

So much fun seeing a mint example of a fantastic toy being finally freed. Thanks for sharing the unboxing and for allowing this toy to finally fulfill its destiny. 😎👍✌

Incredible piece! Thanks for sharing!

This was stored with spring tension for decades, so there's bound to be some parts not working correctly.

You've got my three favorites lined up already: Rhino, Hurricane and Thunderhawk! MASK was great toy line that came about at the very tail end of my childhood. I had several of the vehicles and Boulder Hill but years later sold them for whatever forgotten and foolish reason. Life is finite thing folks. Open your toys and enjoy them!

Thanks for posting this unboxing. So cool to see a nearly 35 year old toy in mint condition still quite capable giving so much much joy. Toys are meant to be played with and enjoyed in whatever way a person finds that enjoyment. I'll always applaud anyone who embodies that spirit.

Pardon me folks meant to say big truck.

Lovely vehicle and great memories brought back. I dont think you needed to tell in'box collectors you were going to open the package, its 'your toy' you do whatever you want with it! 👍🤘🤜

A good old friend of mine owned this one, he still got it up until the early 2000's (and very much complete, not a single missing piece), not sure if it is still around.

I have watched Deans channel and seeing vintage carded SW figures being opened is extremely nostalgic. This video gave me the same feels as well Tony....ohh and I loved the intro haha!

I like to open mine too, for the most part. I like to display my toys. I never got to collect MASK toys in 80s. I was into GI Joe and MOTU. This is awesome that you got this vintage mint toy! Thanks for sharing.

I Had so many of these growing up and loved every one of them. I agree, toys are meant to be played with. If I bought any of these I’d open them for nothing else to go back in time to experience the joy of these toys. Love this channel!!

Tony as always being open to other peoples points of view and opinions, no need to be so passive aggressive.

Thank you for sharing the moment Tony! It brings back so many memories. Watching you figuring out things for the first time... I went trough the same back in the summer of 87' Congratulations!

I remember putting all these together in the back of a moving car.

Its crazy how many channels I watch only to find they are all connected in some way. Awesome video Tony. Theres a great custom box maker on Ebay who makes up repro boxes for those out there who just want to collect a box.

Interesting fact - Manta wasn't initially in the plans to produce as a toy so there weren't any guidelines to follow by the artist. Same goes for Shark - as we know though, Manta would eventually land on shelves while Shark would not.

What an excellent toy and wonderful experience to see it new again. I was a lucky enough little bugger to have it as a kid (and still do) and had the calendar taped to my wall 😊

Best Sealed In Box Review Ever!!🤣😂 Seriously though Tony, thanks you for sharing this phenomenal gift from the AMAZING Dean over at All Things 80’s! I could almost smell the cardboard and plastic as you pulled everything out of the box. FANTASTIC SHARE!!🍻

That warehouse would make a great movie idea for Toy Story! LOL After 35 years of being frozen in carbonate, the MASK team is awakened. “Hey guys Billy has a TV thing” Netflix pops on…”Oh they have a She Ra show”….after 15 mins everyone shouts “where the heck are we?!!?!”

Nicely done! MASK was one of the better 1980s cartoons. Vanessa Warfield was an interesting villainess; ironically, she and her MASK counterpart, Gloria Baker, never really faced off against each other, one on one in the cartoons. A nice thing about the MASK vehicles was that, same with Hasbro’s Transformers G1, were modeled after actual vehicles, complete with Goodyear tires. MASK leader Matt Trakker was later added to the G. I. Joe Team as the team’s Advanced Tech Specialist, making him, technically, their Tony Stark.

First that opening, I Loved it! Lmfao!! I only had two mask toys as a child, the Condor bike /copter and the Switchblade. I managed to find a Swithblade about 15 years ago still in its box and I opened it up and played with it, without hesitation . Turned out it was the second run where the Miles Mayhem has a hole in his mask.

I loved the M.A.S.K. Toys, they were the last toys I collected for a long time until the Spawn figures were released. I had the Thunderhawk, Switchblade, Condor, Rhino, Jackhammer, and The Gator. I loved to have had them all, they are cool toys, I’m happy you got the Manta, it’s looks cool.

Absolutely great video. What a find!!! Had a 'Pirhana' while my brother had 'Thunderhawk'. Always wanted a Slingshot or Nightstalker. Wonder were they included in the Chile find?

That amazing toy is the one and only M.A.S.K. vehicle I own. In my humble opinion, it is THE best M.A.S.K. vehicle out of the first Season run. It's sleek, the flight mode is better than Thunderhawk, AND it has an unofficial rocket car mode (basically just flip out the missile pod and the jet engines). I bought it at a local toy con loose and with no stickers and manual, but it is in immaculate shape. The hinges are still tight, the rubber tires are intact, and has the ejection seat. Vanessa Warfield has the original version of her Whip mask, so I also bought a Raxx figure (with his original Stilleto mask) so she can eject him out of the passenger seat.

Man, I'll never understand the "box" collector. I don't get it. I play with my toys, ya know, at 46 and a grandpa lol. But for real, the thought of leaving my stuff unopened is not one I've ever had. It would be a box I'd keep in good condition, if it were this old, but it'd damn sure get played with. I don't think I'd install the stickers, only because I suck at it lol

I came back again to this unboxing video to get more pissed off at Junkman !!! I just opened a 1988 Galoob Star Trek Shuttle Craft. I didn’t open it until now because of space . But having that experience opening that thing and putting the stickers on was fun and at that same time saying fuck you junkman. I like having original boxes just to store them in case but opening them is awesome. It’s so stupid for junkmam and his acolytes to talks shit about people opening vintage toys . So pissed but happy that I opened the shuttle. I would do the same exact thing you did with any of those Chile finds. Open them up and then you have a nice box and vehicle to display together.

I feel like a kid again opening up a brand new old toy , the memories !

Very cool, a friend of my Eldest brother had the Venom and I always played with it when I was sent to play at their house along with my other siblings, when the friend grew out of it they gave it to me and then when I grew out of it I passed it on to a younger cousin. I need to find out if he still has it coz I'd love to get it again as an adult collector. MASK and Dinoriders were 2 series I never watched or owned anything of first hand but I think they are such neat lines and I don't understand why they've never really been brought back. I know Zuru does dinosaurs with added weapons but its not the same.

Wait... Are you telling me that pallets and pallets of toys from the 1980s were sitting in a warehouse in Chile for 40 years and nobody noticed?! Even if the warehouse had been abandoned all that time, how did they survive in such pristine condition? I've seen factories in the US that were shuttered for less than 20 years that looked like the Amazon had reclaimed them.

Well played Tony! Brought me back to when I opened mine. Forgot about all the transforming elements like the back grill. Now if only they’d find an Action Force warehouse find, eh?

How does it feel to be 8 years old again?! I'm not a sealed collector I've opened a bunch of vintage toys and it feels great. I have a rule of thumb where I dont open anything that cost over 150 bucks lol that's just me though. Excellent video and I wondered whatever happened to all those toys from the warehouse find.

That actually looks cool. Most of the Mask I had, the transformations were trash. That green motobike copter. So wack. I remember getting it then being hugely disappointed. Hahaha

Dean's a good guy Tony! He gave my buddy Luke at Reynold's Reviews one as well. Check him out if you get a chance, he's getting better and better! Reynold's Reviews, give it a watch.

Thank you for this, it was a very nice toy. Still have a few but not this one. This video brings back memories of what it was like when I got a new Mask and unpacked it!

Not fair! I want one lol. I only had Hurricane and Raven as a kid, the Manta and Condor were my favorites that I never had. Looks amazing and I could feel “8year old me” opening that too.

Wow, what a great toy and MASK collection! You are a dirty devil for having fun with your toys and sharing joy with your audience!

What a cool guy to give you that manta.try living without rules.😎love the channel dude.been watching for couple of years now.🙏👍🐜ant nz

Many less dislikes than I thought on this video. Somewhere there's a toy fan screaming that he'd buy the entire collection just to leave them boxed up in some dark, dingy space to let them accrue value just to say he has 100 boxed Mantas and they will never see the light of day lol

I would have put repro stickers on it and kept the original sticker sheet intact or have sold it.

Jealous! I want some boxed toys to open!!!

If I pay money for it I will do as I want, and all toys come out of that box when I got shelf space. My money not yours so shut it, I ain't after the rare stuff anyway cause I ain't rich.

I'm sure you are capable of opening it and carefully assembling it. Thus not rendering it recked

Anyone who cried that you opened an MISB toy should thank you for protecting their toy’s resale value. Very cool video

There was a huge stock of MASK discovered in a storage unit. Love this line

Oh man this is awesome, M.A.S.K. was my favourite toy line as a kid and I had a lot of them. I need to buy one myself to open. Its great fun opening these old toys and I don't get the hate on that.

Yessir! By all means open your toys. They're made to be opened and played with. Not left in a box collecting dust

So if anyone got my childhood collection of Mask/Gi joe/transformers... sorry for all the crooked stickers haha

Screw the rules, collections are meant for enjoying.

I like the toy. I don’t think Vanessa would survive that fall from the escape hatch.

Fantastic video, was billboard blast and the collector in blue on the calendar? If so dose anyone know if they were actually available in those colours?

Wow what a great experience for you and for us your viewers thanks man🤘🤘

Thanks for sharing. NICE TOY CAR.🚂🚞🚞🚞🚞🚞

Not a fan of opening things that have spent decades in their sealed state but as you said, there’s lots of them still sealed, it’s your item, and at least you filmed it so others can experience it just as we did as kids.
