Loved it! I was a huge fan of MASK back inn the day and watching you transform the toys was like reliving my childhood! Is Switchblade the best MASK toy? Internally I don’t want to admit it, but I totally got your got and respect your reasoning! Keep up the good work! Jim
I did too it was my favorite show next to Masters of the universe and ThunderCats. The only thing I didn't care for was that stupid robot that look like a giant trash can what was the name t-bop I didn't care for striker's kid either . He almost got Hondo killed
Of those I only had Switchblade as a kid. It was nice. I never understood why a helicopter would turn into a jet, but it was a silly series. Got the Rhino as an adult many years later. Yeah, it's good. Would've been fun to have back in the day.
This are my Personal favourites: 1. Raven 2. Fireforce 3. Piranha (Best Dude with best Mask) 4. Detonator 5. Firefly. I also liked Manta, Jackhammer and Wildcat. I owned some of them when i was 6 or 8 Spears old.
as a car enthusiast and a toy car collector I would have gone nuts for this stuff when I was a kid in the 2000s but never experienced it but you did so your super lucky!
This is a great list. I have some very fond memories of Hurricane and Rhino… Hurricane was just so damn cool looking; loved how it turned from a classic hot rod into an all terrain tank. I would’ve put Condor and Raven on the list. Raven had a ton of cool spring loaded gimmicks, and Condor… was just sheer perfection. Both modes were very cool, and IMO everything that was awesome about MASK distilled into its simplest form.
@@RetroToyEscapades Thanks to u dude. I love these vehicles. It is nostalgia and kind of magic in mask. Sooner or later i will buy some of them. Dude ur toys are wow. Thanks for the reply and the sharing.
The Raven was always my favorite. Coolest looking car and very cool transformation. The Goliath was cool but I didn’t care for the Series 3 trend of exposing the pilot and the truck portion of the Goliath was always pretty weird.
Fantastic review! Hope you can produce more reviews on these gems. My top five would be as follows: 5.Blackout 4.Bulldog 3.Outlaw 2.Switchblade 1.Goliath
@@RetroToyEscapades Thanks. No Sir. I haven't got it yet though I am tinkering of getting it from a 3rd party. They even produced a box to go with the Blackout! It just appeared in Episode 28 but I think it looked wicked sick and vicious. And the soundtrack in that episode was fantastic. I do have most of the collection, including my most cherished Goliath :) Hands down imo the best toy line. Hope you can do more of such reviews. Really enjoyed this review.
nice list there buddy but i'm also a mask fan and still got all my old mask toys, my top five vehicles are 5.razorback 4.buzzard 3.outlaw 2.laser command 1.wildcat
Whoa, Freddy?? Should we alert the Dream Warriors. Hey, thanks for sharing your list! I remember it being crazy hard trying to get a complete Laser Command together.
Great Channel keep up the Awesomeness...As a Huge M.A.S.K fan myself and grew up with just a few of the toys. Now as an Adult Collector, I am able fulfil my younger days wants. My TOP 5 are...Rhino, Jack Hammer, Condor, Piranha, and Firecracker/SwitchBlade.
I had Switchblade back in the day and it was awesome. Mum bought it as my reward for doing well in class. Unfortunately, it was thrown away during my late teens with pretty much all of my toy collections.
@@RetroToyEscapades 😂. Purged with Switchblade (& Condor) were some Transformers, Thundercats, Starcom, Captain Power and Micro Machine toys. The only one that survived the purge and still with me after all these years is my TMNT Leonardo figure. Its the second version, not the rubber head. I kept it due to sentimental values. Looking at RUclips and collectors market now, I wished I still had all of them 😅.
Hello! I recentlt started getting into m.a.s.k. and I find the toys to be very fascinating! It also helps that im a huge fan of 80s cars because they have very cool esthetics compared to modern cars. I plan on getting the Jackhammer or the Slingshot as my first m.a.s.k. toy. I want to focus on the ones that are more affordable since I am on a budget. When I start getting the m.a.s.k vehicles I plan on reviewing them on my channel!
I am surprised that our military has not adopted a design similar to the Switchblade! The helicopter configuration can come in handy for VTOL and rescue missions, while the jet fighter can be deployed for defensive actions!
For me, M.A.S.K series of toy-line is my all time favourite & will never forget. When I was a kid, I’m won’t missed to watch the series & dreamed to become like them! But when it comes with toy figures at the toy store(eg: Kathy’s toys @ jaya supermarket section 14 PJ, toy r us Subang parade), I can’t afford to buy it & just only able to see. But now, it’s time to ‘revenge’ to have it! 😎
Stop doing satan's horns. Unless you want to end up with the deciever satan in hell later for representing him. That is if you keep doing it. Denounce satan and willingly accept God=Lord Jesus Christ as your Savior while there is still time. As sinners that we all are we must do so.
@@hafizhassanidris I used to do satan's horns too. When I saw a friend of mine do it. I didn't know at first it had to do with satan and it was bad. He probably didn't know either. But yes in reality Lord Jesus Christ is actually God=Allah. satan and his rebel angels know it too. They don't want people to know so those perish like them. So we need to talk to God=Lord Jesus Christ constantly in prayer to protect one from their constant schemes and temptations. It has nothing to do with any kind of religion at all. It never did. God=Lord Jesus Christ is legit. He has saved me before time and time again. I'm not kidding He actually did. Besides He knows who is lying and who is not. I would gain nothing by lying anyway. God=Lord Jesus Christ would save whomever that seeks Him. It is quite true.
I’ve just stated collecting mask I got a piranha and Raven from eBay, my first mask purchases 😊, I only had one as a kid which was stinger so I’ll have to make sure I get that one at some point
I always wanted the thunder hawk. But it was never in the stores when I went to buy it and I have to settle for venom's jackhammer. I pretty much had all of venom's toys. Which is kind of a drag for me because all my friends had the masks toys. Which is also kind of a drag because there's always that one jerk kid that plays with you guys that always has to cheat. And say when you shot him down that his vehicle has some kind of special titanium alloy armor that's impenetrable by bullets and missiles and all this other stuff I think it's kind of an unwritten rule I guess that no matter what toy line you have whether it's Masters of the universe centurions bravestar or GI Joe if you choose the side of either evil you're always going to be on the losing end no matter how cool you think the vehicles are
Terrible choice for #1 the helicopter blades fold back and it turns into a jet.... and then what? Its kind of boring. You just laid it down and it tips over lol
This whole MASK thing....cartoon, merchandising, marketing is Stuff of legends. KENNER really hit the home run on this one.
Definitely!

I just figured the copter mode maybe for recon and the jet mode for combat; ahah
Still enjoy hunting for M.A.S.K. toys and googling bout them.. even at the age of 40.. hehehehe.. 😍😍😍
Don't stop hunting!
This are my Personal favourites:
1. Raven 2. Fireforce 3. Piranha (Best Dude with best Mask) 4. Detonator 5. Firefly.
I also liked Manta, Jackhammer and Wildcat. I owned some of them when i was 6 or 8 Spears old.
Felix Zahner Thanks for sharing! We dig the Fireforce too - only Spilt Seconds vehicle that fits both drivers at the same time!
@@RetroToyEscapades if I had known they would be collected someday I never would have thrown them away.
as a car enthusiast and a toy car collector I would have gone nuts for this stuff when I was a kid in the 2000s but never experienced it but you did so your super lucky!
You will still go nuts for them!! But Ebay prices are scary
@@RetroToyEscapades I know.....and that's the sad part

I hear you! I've been meaning to do a follow-up list, cheers!
my top 5...5) outla,w, 4) firecracker, 3) bulldog, 2) goliath, 1) rhino
Killer line-up :)
Bruce Sato (my favorite character) with Brad Turner in the RHINO!
Rhino is my personal favorites, thank you retro toy Escapade for such awesome review, support support!!!
Ahh....the Rhino. Best Toy Truck of the 80's for us
Dude all the vehicles are awesome, agree, it's very, very cool stuff
hagen tronege Thanks for checking out the vid!
@@RetroToyEscapades Thanks to u dude. I love these vehicles. It is nostalgia and kind of magic in mask. Sooner or later i will buy some of them. Dude ur toys are wow. Thanks for the reply and the sharing.

Fantastic review! Hope you can produce more reviews on these gems. My top five would be as follows: 5.Blackout 4.Bulldog 3.Outlaw 2.Switchblade 1.Goliath
Fab list! Though Blackout was not an official Kenner re-release....a 3rd-party team took a crack at it - do you have it?
@@RetroToyEscapades Thanks. No Sir. I haven't got it yet though I am tinkering of getting it from a 3rd party. They even produced a box to go with the Blackout!

Awesome, do it!
really love this MASK . maybe this is the main idea of TRANSFORMERS
Transformers came out first though.....but M.A.S.K. is kind of like a Transformers/ G.I. Joe combo
You should've done a Top 10 instead, so you could feature more vehicles.
We might do a follow-up - the best of the rest! Thanks for checking out the vid!
I had 3 of those, and never knew they did all that. I never looked at the directions😂 I was the only kid that liked m.a.s.k.
Thanks for checking out the vid! Thanks to social media, Instagram and photo sharing.....M.A.S.K. has been catching on big over the last few years
I am surprised that our military has not adopted a design similar to the Switchblade! The helicopter configuration can come in handy for VTOL and rescue missions, while the jet fighter can be deployed for defensive actions!
That.....would be awesome.
I love this era of toys, they just don't make em like this nowadays..ahh the good ol days 😁
Definitely!
I liked the green cycle, the little helicopter, and that red I think motorcycle/copter thing
MAsterr Serch Awesome, man! Condor and.....Vampire?
Retro Toy Escapades yes, that was it!
Imagine if M.A.S.K. Was not plastic, but Die-cast metal. Like Robotech and matchbox toys. It probably would have lasted longer.
Wowing us with your powers of imagination there Jonas! Just imagine something that LASTED A BIT LONGER!!
M.A.S.K. is still ALIVE!
M.a.s.k stand for Mainan Awesome Sehingga Kini😀my first mask was stinger then cannot stop collecting until now.
Great slogan!
For me, M.A.S.K series of toy-line is my all time favourite & will never forget. When I was a kid, I’m won’t missed to watch the series & dreamed to become like them!

Stinger is almost all die- cast/ One of the heaviest in the line!
80's stuff is so cool!!!!!!
You said it!
My top 5:
1. Rhino
2. Goliath
3. Buzzard
4. Hurricane
5. Razorback
Solid list!
I wish I still had mine 💯💯🙌🏾
Time to scout Ebay!
I dont remember the names, but the 4 wheeler and the motorcycle that turned into a helicopter were my favorite
My cousin gave me the rhino at like 4 or 5 years old. 1994 or so. My sisters or brother broke it 2007 or so. But it was bad ass.
Cheers! The classic Rhino definitely had a lot of fragile parts to it
Switchblade is kinda redundant. Granted, it looks cool. But both modes are Aircrafts.
I go back and forth on this a lot but at this exact moment - Thunderhawk, Rhino, Goliath, Switchblade, Condor. Never, ever Billboard Blast.
Great list & thanks for sharing! When I was a kid; somehow I was drawn to the Billboard Blast unit because of the large Thunderhawk sticker in front
@@RetroToyEscapades but then you realized its a billboard and gave it to your little brother right? lol
I hope hasbro picks up this line again and reissue them. I really would like to own a Rhino.
Yeah! Seems they been talking about it for aeons.....but we did get a Matt Trakker in the G.I. Joe line
I started collecting MASK last year. I have 16 MASK toys so far.
Nice!
Jackhammer was my favorite and miles mayhem plane that transform into a helicopter
Check out the Switchblade jet in the video! Thank you for supporting the channel🤘
T-Bob is probably the worst, quite different from the cartoon with 3 wheels on it.
Ahah.....every 80's cartoon needed a goofy supporting character
You need a pop filter for your mic.
I always wanted the thunder hawk. But it was never in the stores when I went to buy it and I have to settle for venom's jackhammer. I pretty much had all of venom's toys. Which is kind of a drag for me because all my friends had the masks toys. Which is also kind of a drag because there's always that one jerk kid that plays with you guys that always has to cheat.

Look out for Ramen Toy's incoming Thunderhawk release!
I had Rhino, Raven, Condor. My mom gave them away....as a "tradition"😫
Oh man....this is why Ebay is thriving!
Condor and Raven is missing
2 totally awesome rides indeed!
Terrible choice for #1 the helicopter blades fold back and it turns into a jet.... and then what? Its kind of boring. You just laid it down and it tips over lol
Please reply me. I really wanted it badly
Erm....?
@@RetroToyEscapades I wanted to purchase some of this MASK toy.
Cheong Waikong Where would you be located. Send us a DM on the Retro Toy Escapades Facebook page. Cheers
I loved mask!!I loved playing with cars,but not little matchbox cars,bigger ones!An it had a red t top fire bird,say no more!!!!
Cheers bro!
