M.A.S.K. was the last toy line I was into as a kid. Then I grew up, realized adult stuff kinda sucked and started collecting toys again. M.A.S.K. was like a mashup of the two biggest toylines of its time; G.I. Joe and Transformers, proving the old axiom "If you can't beat 'em, cobble together their best bits into something just original enough to avoid lawsuit.". Alas, Hasbro would have the last laugh.

1985-1988 were truly fun years to be a kid. I was 5, 6, and 7. I had several of the original MASK toys. 80s also gave us awesome movies, cool cartoons, and amazing music. Inspirational, creative, funny, spirited, and clever times. Also Blockbuster video was born. I think Peacemaker may have ripped off the helmet and the different powers a helmet provides from MASK. Each MASK character had a badass vehicle and Mask. So dope. And the movies that came out such as Rocky 4, Back to the Future, The Goonies...and the toy shelves were stocked with GI Joe's and transformers and He-Man and Star Wars! Damn!

Thanks for this one, Dan! MASK is one of my fave cartoons in the 1980s. My fave characters were Matt Trakker, Gloria Baker*, Hondo McLane, Miles Mayhem, Vanessa Warfield, & Sly Rax. Also, the toys had a plus in that they used actual Goodyear tires. Also, Matt Trakker was later made the High Tech Specialist of G. I. Joe, essentially he became G. I. Joe's Tony Stark and Cobra's Destro. Wish they added Gloria Baker; she could supplant (and even outright Replace) Lady J had it been possible IMHO. * Gloria Baker's MASK Shark seemed inspired by James Bond's modified Lotus Esprit from The Spy Who Loved Me.

@grantorino2325 4 года назад

7:07 I'd really love a combined continuity for Transformers and MASK. I think the advanced technologies in vehicle transformation could easily be a by-product of human/Autobot collab. I really really loved the MASK cartoon and toys in the 1980s, but had to priortise Transformers and therefore only have a mini-novelisation of the cartoon ep1 - "The Deathstone. One of my friends had a few of the toys and they were fantastic - much better than any Transformers from after 1985 (i.e.any original non-Diaclone, non-Micro-change Transformers).

@BalderOdinson Год назад

Check out the IDW comics. Not the best adaptation of MASK possible, but the premise of MASK being humanity's (Mayhem's) reaction to the cybertronian threat is spot on! Revolution did a great job tying all these properties together...and ROM... Seriously though, ROM felt more tacked on, like they were building the Dire Wraiths in to something, but didn't get there. Not quite sure what happened to the shared universe behind the scenes but it definitely felt like someone pulled the plug and IDW had to go "oh crap! uh...Unicron attacks and uh...reboot..."

It just wasn't done back then. Nobody made masks for anything but Halloween. The only role play toys were things worn on a belt, like walkie-talkies, handcuffs, binoculars, knives, etc. or hand-held items like guns and lightsabers or hats/helmets for soldiers, firemen and the police. I've no idea why this was the case, but it was.

Kenner did a beetlejuice mask. And they did a few batman masks. Cost was probably too high.

@jaywoodley6014 4 года назад

Oh and they did a robocop helmet

Jay Woodley not to mention all of the Ghostbuster “role play” items from back in the day.

Great video. I loved all the highlights of 1985, I recall Ulysses 31 being aired in Aust on the ABC. It was a great year. Robotech, Back to the Future, Goonies, you named the best. I loved the figurines, i bought heaps of the twin packs and customised them so I could have an army. For the life of me I couldn't work out why no one else had done a action figure in that size since, I guess MegaConstrux comes close .

And they would down tools immediately, or hand everything to the nearest person. Supercut: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-7x5B3nzYixo.html

M.A.S.K. beat MK in using the letter "K" where the letter "C" would be used.

My mom bought me several M.A.S.K. toys in the early 90's. She bought them secondhand but were in great condition. Didn't know what I had, I just loved all those cars. I had 2 of the black broncos, the Camaro, raven which was a black either Corvette or firebird. There was a purple nissan 300z. So not only kids from the mid 80's enjoyed these toys. Some of us from the 90's did too.

I've read somewhere that MASK was created as a reduced size line to replace GI Joe because the latter line's vehicles were too expensive to produce du to their huge size.

@tinfoilhatnick9480 4 года назад

I had so many of these toys and watched the cartoon religiously. Still one of my favorite toy lines of all time

"Spectrum Zee X". That's hilarious! You really need to say it the correct British way! ZX = ZedX Spectrum.

@grantorino2325 4 года назад

At least he didn't pronounce it as they do north of The Wash. "Spectrum IZZARD X."

@jasonblalock4429 4 года назад

Yeah, even American video game RU-vidrs make sure to pronounce it the British way. Which is itself a little weird, since "zed" doesn't exist as far as American English is concerned.
