    I'm humbled, and honored brother. Thank you SO much for this dedication! You sure know how to make a guy tear up. I am honestly speechless. You are an amazing brother. I could not ask for a better partner in my life to share all the things we love from the 80's, and who also shares my pension for putting others before himself. You honestly humble me Michael. Thank you so much for this amazing review of one of my favorite vehicles from one of my favorite series of all time. Nerdmasté my brother. 🙏

    Kenner really was a fantastic company. Not only did they give you assembly instructions but would also illustrate how some parts could pop out in play and not to panic, just pop em back in. They also had fantastic service, you ever lost a part or something broke Kenner would send you replacements. They really did care! Until 1994 or so when that practice ended. My dad ran over my Bruce Wayne Custom Coupe accidentally, and my mother sent it to Kenner to be fixed. 2-3 weeks later my "fixed" coupe arrived. What a fantastic company!

    such top notch quality. some RUclipsrs just sit in front of a camera and blab on an on without even a script. We appreciate your hard work- especially the topical pull clips from the cartoons. Like the great John Hammond: "spare no expense"!!

  • @OldManTheseDays

    One of my favorite things about the Thunderhawk is how it embodies style of the 80s so much. The IROC Z, gullwing doors, even the paint scheme and deco is like a snapshot of 1985. Despite its relative modesty as a toy when compared to the likes of the Rhino, it's truly a centerpiece in any 80s toy collection. Nice work on this video- love the air battle you staged 😁.

    • @MichaelMercy
      @MichaelMercy  5 лет назад

      Yes! I love that we've come full circle and can appreciate it for all of its 80s goodness. MASK, like the first 2 years of Transformers, is a time warp back to the gorgeous automotive art of the 80s. :D

    A quick note Michael: The blasters/exhaust on the doors never had an automatic feature, it was always manual. I point this out because you made a comment on this. I don't want you to think that your Thunderhawk is broken in some way. To me, it looks like you bought it just yesterday!

    M.A.S.K. came out at an interesting time for me as I just turned into a teen and felt the peer pressure to stop playing with my Joe's and Transformers. Most of my friends at that point were on to girls and toys were now for kids, so nobody in my class really knew about M.A.S.K. It was the perfect guilty pleasure for me as a teen who was going through puberty but still wanting to play with action figures!

    Another top review! Nice one. I've just got back into collecting m.a.s.k (I foolishly sold my original collection 10 years ago) and I really appreciate the love you put into your reviews, I find them to be truly inspirational and they always put a smile on my face. Regarding Thunderhawk as a toy I always found it a bit disappointing as a child and personally think that Raven was a far superior car that turns into a plane but now as a 43 year old child my recently acquired Thunderhawk takes centre place in my m.a.s.k display.

    • @MichaelMercy
      @MichaelMercy  5 лет назад

      Yes! Maybe Hasbro will finally do this in the next few years. I guess Kenner went with the smaller scale because the price of the vehicles would have been too expensive being Joe scale with transforming gimmicks too.

  • @Karnage316

    Thunderhawk was the first MASK vehicle I picked up as a kid, alongside the Piranha - both long since gone, but they were the only first wave MASK vehicles I owned. I did have a couple of the later waves though, including the Bullet racing bike and Meteor jet, along with the Detonator Beetle that was part of the 4th wave that split into a bike and hovercraft.

    A favorite toy which I never got during my childhood. We were very poor at that time. Still remember Mum would always bring me to the OG at Chinatown where I would spent my time just enjoying looking at it and imagine myself playing with it at home.

    Great Review! Thunderhawk is my first MASK vehicle and it is cool to have a sport car that can turn into a fighter jet. I thought with the recent IDW MASK reboot comics, Hasbro will at least remake Thunderhawk again for the collectors but I guess MASK will be a thing from the 80s. We can only dream...
