Massive Kenner MASK Toys FOUND! 

I have an idea how they found these M.A.S.K. toys. I think someone in the company who owns the warehouse said, "Today masks are a high demand product because of the pandemic. Let's check our stock inventory of stuff if we have masks in one of our warehouses." And the other guy answered after looking at a dusty clipboard from the 80's, "Yes boss, we have boxes of masks in one of warehouses, but they are from around 30 years ago. I'll open it right away to see if the mask are still OK to be sold." And the next is history.

Now all we need is a warehouse full of Masters of the Universe.

My God how amazing is this? A friend and I have dreamed of finding a warehouse full of original STAR WARS toys.

Must be storage units of Kenner Star Wars vintage figures moc out there somewhere

I hope this knocks the prices down on MASK stuff online. I’ve been looking in to getting some & a price break would be nice.

I had no idea it was more than just MASK found in that warehouse. I really want to get in on getting the mint in box MASK toys, but kind of scared to find out how much they'll cost. Between asking pricing, shipping, and the custom cost.

I remember having M.A.S.K toysas a kid, they were pretty awesome for their time (they still are awesome). My only gripe was it was so damn easy to lose the helmet for the figures, which I did 99% of the time. Would love to see that series come back in a retro collection

Star Wars 12 backs in original shipping boxes would be nice🤘$$$$$$$$$$$$

That's amazing, I think the best way to think about finds like this. It's an opportunity not a loss. Because more people get a chance to enjoy something. Rather than being locked away because of some perceived value.

There's a guy in the retro game collecting community who collects boxes of games. It's gonna be a bad day for scalpers when he eventually sells it

Wow, thank you for sharing this story, Junkman! That is incredible. I recently went into the attic and pulled out all my MASK toys. Just posted a video about them yesterday. Thanks again for this story - incredible!

Thanks for the shout-out and for linking the group in the description. It's an absolutely amazing find!!

Thanks junkman keep up the great work

Had MASK toys as a kid. My favorite was RHINO. Very cool find indeed.

This is one of the coolest videos I've ever seen! I love M.A.S.K.! 😛

something like this happened back when i was collecting POTF2 figures. i think it was a princess leia figure that was a variation going for like $40, then out of the blue a warehouse of them was found and the price just flopped.

Its always awesome to see a time capsule of vintage toys found.

Wow.....just wow!

Something similar has happened with old Star Wars toys back in the early 90's. There was a liquidator store similar to Odd Lots / Big Lots that had bought a warehouse full of old toys that included cases of the 1985 Power of the Force Star Wars figures. I bought a case and really wish I had bought the rest now.

This is literally a child’s dream come true.

Conversation with the finders was great, a real crazy story indeed

Hi Junkman, Thanks for another interesting video! Great to hear about this horde being uncovered! And you're right about collecting / investing. I hope you and yours are keeping safe and well and you can grab some bargains.

Wow. You just know there's many more forgotten warehouses just waiting to be found. Just packed with old anything.... ? Trippin!

I had quite a few M.A.S.K. toys growing up- most of them I bought with my own money, which was a big deal for me personally. I really don't know what happened to them... I'm pretty sure my mom donated them to the church rummage sale or something- but I wish I still had those old things!! Thanks for sharing this info, Junkman! Might head over to FB and see just how far out of my price range these vintage toys are!😁

Wow what a find Seriously I would love to find something like this

This is a really awesome toy find! I remember there was a toy website in the early 2000's called plasticdreams.com . I guess they went out of business because the site is gone. I remember reading a story they had about finding a bunch of vintage Kenner Star Wars figure cases and found a bunch of the carded vinyl cape Jawas in them. It's hard to believe that there would be old store stock still sealed in their cases like that locked away somewhere.

I know him for his art! Amazing that this was discovered by him, he's a really nice person too.

What a vintage Kenner find! Junkman, another Home Run!!

COOL on the Mask stuff! I love the Fred Sanford thing at the end of the video! lol

That is really cool!

Good lord, that is a maximum crazy discovery!

This is awesome. MASK was the perfect scale since it was all about the vehicles

That is an epic find! =O

Wow!!! That is awesome!! Like finding lost treasure!!!

Imagine what these collections will be worth in 150-200 years. In 2220, that Star Wars collections will be worth 5 real spaceships!

I collect for the sheer nostalgia of it..Nostalgia is a powerful force

If this were Star Wars, people would lose their damn minds and the economy would probably collapse lol

That's crazy those were found. As a 90s baby, it would be amazing if there was a warehouse with figures from the Power of the Force 2 line. As far as collecting figures/toys that could be worth something someday, a part of me does wonder if some of the unopened figures I got from the '07 and '08 lines might become valuable in the future. I also have an unopened Force Awakens version of Monopoly (without Rey; bought it in early 2016 amidst the "where's Rey?" outcry) and an unopened Force Link First Order Starter Kit from the Last Jedi line (Toys R Us exclusive; bought it a couple of months before Toys R Us closed its doors).

Holy gods that is glorious!

Seeing all that is awesome and would be so cool to find. A modern archaeologist!

A box with OVP Beast Wars Transmetal Airazor and Terrorsaur was found in a Warehouse here in Germany. I buy Airazor for only 28€ 🙃

this is an amazing find

Wonder if any boulder hill play sets are in that place?

ppl saying this will destroy the value, but i disagree. the market will adjust, but no reason for it to collapse as some are suggesting.

Omg that is freaking awesome. I love M.A.S.K. I wish I could find more m.a.s.k. toys. I actually found a Billboard Blast and Wolfbeast.

Wow this is incredible I love Mask. Will look into these thanks ive wanted to get a manta again since childhood but I always get outbid on eBay.

This is the stuff dreams are made of! I've always imagined myself getting a shot at something great like this many years after their release. I wonder if they will sell it all off? I also think it's great they are getting back to collector's who will appreciate it. I'm curious if these will actually be cheaper to buy since there are so many of them. Would definitely love Matt Trakker's red car!

Love your new room

Welp, there goes the value!!

Yes, put all of those mint condition collectors items next to swimming pool. Real fucking smart.

Hopefully means more people will get into collecting if there's more out there- and so new interest in MASK, which might mean new stuff - reissues, a reboot, etc.

Holy shit I would of lost my mind mask is my all time favorite cartoon and toy line

If you find any vintage Star Wars hidden away JM make sure I'm on that list⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Awesome! It would’ve been even more awesome if it had been cases upon cases of 12-back figures with DT sabers and vinyl Jawas 😍

Also a warehouse of wheeled warriors would be badass

Awesome find. Would love to get my hands on one or two of these!!! And I’m gonna hold you to your offer of a free case if you find a shed load of vintage Star Wars!! Lol 😂

mask was my favorite back in the day..still is...that and transformers of course.

i need a Switchblade with Miles Mayhem pronto!

Two thoughts on this. Personally I see this an amazing find. Members of the collecting community being able to get these new condition toys makes me extremely happy for them. On the thought of investment and collectible status, I’ve always handled that for myself this way. If I believe something is worth my money and I like it, I buy it. My most recent modern toy purchase were a set of diecast Johnny Lightning release SuperCar vehicles. Most people don’t even know that old show/fandom. Most people don’t care to know about it. To me, it wasn’t about investment, it was about the memories of seeing that show on reruns, late nights when I was a kid on one of the UHF channels. The investment isn’t monetary return. It’s personal joy. The same goes to any old vintage toys I get. I’m a huge Rock Lord and Starriors collector (talk about niche) and in no way do I look at them as something I’ll sell off anytime later or make a retirement/nest egg off of. The joy I have adding vintage finds to the original collection items of the ones I have from my childhood is a priceless opportunity.

I love hearing about these finds 400 Star Wars video is how I found you junkman

Ive had probably 1 toy miracle somewhat similar to this on a much smaller scale..In 1997(here in Philly)there was a model shop run by this old man,that’s been there since at least the mid 70”s.By the 90’s I never see the store open anymore.But thru the window I spot an old Star Trek rpg I use to play in the 80’s buried under a bunch of models.So one day I look in the window again and the old man is there but the store is closed..So I knock on the window and he lets me in..Long story short,I found some really cool stuff in there including a carded 12 back Jawa,a mego carded SpiderMan,Robin and Hulk,a carded Leia(Bespin), a M Jackson figure boxed,a planet Apes cardboard playset,and a neat set of welcome back korter figures all carded..My best toy day find ever!

This news almost rivals your vintage Gammorean guard find at a local department store. MASK was an awesome cartoon/toy line. I might have to look at your MASK t-shirt design.

My puppets and i enjoyed your video! They noticed your really nice looking backdrop of collectible toys and thought maybe you were at someone elses house .

I still have all of my Star Wars toys l had when I was a kid, and I don't know or care what the value is. It doesn't mean anything to me because I am not going to sell them. Just last year I had a buddy that was after some GI Joe figures, so I packed up the ones he wanted and sent them to him.i found out what other stuff he was after, and proceeded to pack up and send him my entire Joe collection for free(minus the two things I wanted to keep).

WOW!

I hope playmates finds a warehouse full of vintage technodromes

😮...How im the fawk does a warehouse just go untouched and unnoticed for over 30 years...❓❓❓ 🤔...Strange...👌🏼

🤔 wonder how they forgot about a whole warehouse

If that exists, is there a warehouse where thousands of Kenner Star Wars toys ended up unsold? I will hold out hope now!

Just unbelievable 😮😮😮 amazing that things like this are still out there!I would love a Manta but they are only selling them in groups of 5 atm for $750 plus postage 😩

I thought you were talking about the Jim Carrey mask at first

It would be awesome if there was a storage locker found that was full of Kenner / Toy Biz Batman figures and vehicles from both 1989 and 1992. Many people could finally add the Joker right hand man Bob to their vintage Batman collections.

Is there a contact to get ahold of to purchase any of the items found?

That is an Indiana Jones level find LOL. Awesome! Yes I bought expensive toys for years, new and old, Star Wars, Transformers, MASK, LEGO, a little G.I. Joe, World's Smallest Matchbox cars, and others. I bought them because of my love for the toys and recreating by childhood by re-buying old toys, or toys I wanted as a child but never had. It may sound silly but they make me happy and I get a good feeling from them. I didn't buy them to make money and yes vintage toys, videogames etc are a terrible way to try to invest, anyway, if you study it, as you said. Early into my collecting, I had a mini-find of a semi medium size box full of G1 Transformers and Thunderhawk and Firefly, latter had driver from Volcano for some reason. I did re-buy Thunderhawk and many of the Transformers later on in better condition. I LOVE MASK, it is my favorite cartoon and toy line from the 80s specifically. I have etter and clearer childhood memories than G1 Transformers due to re-watching VHS recordings many times. Of course it didn't last and go onto become the juggernaut Transformers did, sadly. All I had was the submarine portion of Pirhana. Probably from a garage sale. My family probably figured they were too expensive to buy, especially for a kid my age. Looking at original prices and adjusting for inflation, that theory checks out lol. As an adult I bought MASK's Thunderhawk, Rhino, Gator, Firecracker, Condor, Firefly (still need pilot as he wasn't in that box,) Hurricane, Raven, and Bulldog. My childhood memory was Bulldog was VENOM and I do like it better that way heh-heh. In my defense he was introduced as a VENOM agent but was really with MASK. :) And Venom's Switchblade, Piranha, Jackhammer, Scorpion, Vampire, and Manta. Don't have Razorback which was one of my favorites as a kid! :( And of course Shark. :( I got the entire series of fan-made DVDs because the officials weren't out yet. Even as a kid I thought the G.I. Joe cartoon was stupid because it was about a war where no one died. But I liked the toys and their file cards, had a few, became interested in the comic years later after learning about it. I have a few vehicles and Joes from various time periods. We had a fire in the early 90s on New Year's Day (or Eve?) and my brother and I lost our Battle Wagon vehicles we got for Christmas and I haven't gotten another one yet. :( I LOVE Transformers. Foggy original childhood memories but good ones of Generation 1 Transformers. I could remember Optimus Prime, Bumblebee, Hound, and Deception jets clearly. Probably also helped from that children's book telling their origin story. I distinctly recall one Autobot rescuing another from a lake, which was from the opening miniseries it turns out. As a child, I only had Jetfire, the Go-Bot "Future Machine," and a Generation 2 Autobot ironically called Go-Bots. An orange race car with a water gun and color-changing hood. The idea was he was gung-ho about the cause and like a cheerleader or yell leader, as in "GO, 'BOTS!," therefore Go-bots! Yeah lol. As a kid, I bought Jetfire and the Future Machine at a flea market. I remember Jetfire was missing a hand and of course all his weapons and accessories. I loved that the head turned into a gun turret in jet mode and was fascinated by the double-faced Autobot symbol, rub stamp (rub to change color to reveal affiliation) and the cockpit. Something about those old sealed interiors behind windows on old Transformers. Especially the smoke colored windows. :) Sadly Jetfire and Future Machine went up in the fire too. I still had Go-Bots, though the front of the car/shoulder armor was broken off and the weapon was gone. So it must have been bought after the fire. I thought for sure my brother got a Generation 2 jet or plane but I never found it in my/our stuff, and I cannot remember which one it was. Maybe he got something else that day instead. I will ask him about it some time. Fast forward to adulthood, Future Machine was one of the toys in that $20 flea market box. I had to re-buy Jetfire for $200, but he was complete, and with a styrofoam insert, no box. My favorite childhood Transformer was the most expensive. D: I re-bought Go-Bots and a water shooting Decepticon dune buggy called Jetstream to go with him. I got back into Transformers with Beast Wars and got all the current line, at that time, late Transmetals and Transmetals 2, got previous characters and then G1, more Transformers than I can count or name. Also Beast Machines. I bought some VHS episodes from Rhino Entertainment, and then fan recording copies of the whole series from a guy on a Geocities website around 1999 or so, since the full series was not out officially yet. I definitely need to upgrade that or convert them to DVD and then digital. I have the full series of Beast Wars and Beast Machines on DVD. WHEW! I will edit or reply to add Star Wars, LEGO, and World's Matchbox Cars later. I gotta catch a nap. :) Great video thanks for telling us about this, Junkman. :)

Thought I'd died and gone to Junk Heaven!

Exactly right, 99% of the reason we collect is because we love to collect and it's just a bonus if they increase in value. Collectors buy more than one of the same item too. It would be a wet dream come true to find just a few items in that condition let alone a building full!

Where can i buy some!!!!!!????

I did not want to watch this but I did.... I want those toys....

So are these on eBay now?

The price of any mask going down that I can wear in the kitchen pantry before jumping out is a bonus.

Hey Junk,You had a good toy day a while back.Nothing like this but you found a vintage SW ROTJ Figure before K-mart went down..That’ll probably never happen again

I adored them as a kid, It had me asking why this toy-line has never reappeared…? Nostalgia for the 80s is hot right now… Hasbro/Kenner, what are we waiting for?

OMG !!!

I saw a Tamiya RC car. Sweet

Wonder if those MASK boxes are stacked on top of Star Wars boxes?

So if we join this Mask FB group we can find out how to purchase these toys?

You need to type in ( Frank Beech toy shop Wales. ) They found an abandoned toy shop in the UK full of vintage toys and boxed star wars.. great photos...

Cant they ship it the mask action figure to netherlands ther is good deals too do here i ask you i am masive fan and there are other masive fans

neat. Just like all the atari cartridges they found buried in that landfill.

....Quote of the fucking decade..."we collect vintage toys cause we love em....."

after I started collecting i started having this re-occurring dream I was in this abandoned warehouse and I opened a desk drawer full of original Luke lightsabers,

Holy 💩! That’s totally awesome,but will probably drive the prices down a bit.

Was there any KENNER DARK KNIGHT COLLECTION??? (keaton Batman 1)

I remember watching the Mask cartoon .🤔 I guess the toys weren't selling well. After watching this.

A couple of months ago I was excited to find a Firefly w J Lo in excellent condition at a thrift store. For some reason, that feels a little less special now.

Just looked on eBay a sealed manta going for 220 pounds at the moment 15 bids. Bet it’s one of these from Chile. Looks like new the box. Hopefully I’ll be able to get one from this group for myself. I’m not a re seller I just want one for my shelf.

👏👏👏 J.M that was a very good point you make about investment's & really if a person is just collecting to resell, then they arn't really a collector, more like a finance broker. On the flup side, I would love to get some of that stuff. Cheers👍🏻🍻

So how do you buy???

Junkman its ok. I already have some masks at home. I wear them when I go out.

2059: A warehouse full of The Last Jedi toys found. :P
