Loyal Subjects Getting the M.A.S.K. (1985) Toys License

[azheat]

Apparently they have the license and will be reproducing these toys with slight upgrades. I'll definitely be drifting out of my Star Wars lane to purchase these. I was 11 in 1985 and even though Star Wars and GI Joe were my go-to toys, I loved MASK and was as intrigued with them as I was Transformers. Condor, Gator, Firefly, and Firecracker were my favorites; another sweet bit of my childhood coming back to life..........

I had several vehicles. I think the Condor was the first one I got. Ironically I never had the Camaro and my dad had a 86 Iroc-Z28.

Nice, I was just talking to a couple of people in a GI Joe group about remaking some of these to go with some of the other repros... Can't wait to see what they release

I wish they would just formally link M.A.S.K. and GI JOE. I know they did a Matt Tracker figure, under GI JOE years ago. It makes a LOT more sense than GI JOE and Transformers being in the same universe!

It's good that these are officially coming out. I was thinking about getting an unofficial version of the Camaro that's out there.

Hopefully they will make the Corvette in the future.

MASK and GI Joe could sort of work in the same universe. Transformers would be a harder sell.

Venom - Cobra, it writes itself. Venom is a Cobra offshoot.

I never liked the whole GI Joe and Transformers crossover much. I think in one of the recent Transformers movies that I haven't seen, there is an end credits scene that GI Joe is in that Universe. But a new GI Joe movie hasn't come out yet so I guess it was a pointless tease.

So GI Joe with MASK since they have transforming cars doesn't get me that excited either. I saw some recent GI Joe toys that were Transformers I think.

I mentioned an unofficial Camaro toy. When I saw it, I watched an old episode of the cartoon and it was setup like the old Mission Impossible TV series. And they have the whole hidden base. I would watch a live action version of that.
