Okay, I used to have these toys called M.A.S.K. I had an orange truck that popped up on it's axles and became bigger, it had a little motorcycle attached on the back and a driver with ...bump-a-da-dum...a mask! I remember the name grasshopper associated with this toy. I loved it! I traded some things that I can't remember to a boy for it. Was there a cartoon that went along with this series of toys? Does anyone remember what M.A.S.K. is an acronym for? Do you even remember these toys at all? :lol:

Ah ha! Mike and I (it was collaborative, lol) know that answers to your questions!

There WAS a cartoon for M.A.S.K. and he DOES remember the toys. We actually saw slot car M.A.S.K. race track at a yard sale last year but they were asking way too much (especially since it didn't have all its pieces).
M.A.S.K. stands for Mobile Armored Strike Kommand
This link may help you identify the toys you had way back when: M.A.S.K. toys
Here's another really great M.A.S.K. link:
http://www.kenner-mask.com/ I glanced around the main page and it looks like they may be creating a new M.A.S.K. toyline. :)

Hope this info helps! :D

So cool. I followed the links and found that my truck's name was Firecracker and my brother had that motorcycle called Piranha, it's side car looks a lot like one of Cobra's water vehicles. I don't remember which guy I had because I called him Grasshopper. Thanks for the help. I'd love to get just that truck again, but I can't pay an arm and leg for it!

That is so cool that you found exactly which ones you and your brother had! I haven't noticed how much they go for... Is this toy line expensive to collect? I know if I see any around, I will surely pick them up for you ;)

OMG,I remember MASK.I used to watch that with my brothers when I was younger.

Toys and cartoon are a Japanese co American production.Since the Transformers concept is Japanese,the Japanese helped out with the cartoon I read someplace.
But I don't remember the name of the mechanical designer. :hkangry

Derryck (my brother) remember Elliott having the MASK car a long time ago back where I used to live,Kingston,NY.

:bbm

Looks like most of your questions have been answered! I remember M.A.S.K the cartoon... I'm not sure if I watched it because I don't remember anything about it other than it was on tv. But I think it was before or after GI Joe. I LOVED watching GI Joe!!

Ah-ha.I just found the mechanical designer for MASK.It is Shinji Aramaki. B)

Great detective skills, Elia! :D
Woohoo!

:P I'm not a mask fan but my husband is.He just traded a lot of figures and vehicles for g.i.joe stuff.But for those who are looking lmk which ones. My friend at the flea market sometimes has them.Did I mention he mostly sells 80's toys?Unfortunatly he never has ssc stuff. :(

oh--this is interesting to read! My brother had these when he was little--I wonder if he remembers them...

Ah-ha, Now here's a toyline I had a fondness for, you see M.A.S.K. came out in 1985, I loved that show, Matt Tracker, Myles Mayhem, sly rax, Dusty Hayes, Alex Sector, Buddy Hawks. (True fans know who They are). So I ask, who is the true fans on here? I only wish these guys would make a comeback, (and in case you missed my joe convention post) Miles Mayhem Will come back in the stragest of all places.......as a Gen. for destro's army!!!!(cooooollllll)!!!!!! Any who now I'm off to bug the wife, Mask crusaders working overtime fighting crime, fighting crime, secret (awe man, now that song's going to be in my head all night.

Hey croww, this one's for you.......you remember the boulder hill playset from the m.a.s.k. toyline? Well those wakos at kenner reused to playset for the new upcoming star wars revenge of the sith toyline.....want proof? look at hasbro toys at toy news international, look at the star wars episode 3 playsets......Kenner, cheap greedy jerks.......saving money and taking ours!!!

That is too funny. If you've ever collected or seen the Marx figures (vikings, astronauts, cowboys, etc...) They reused the heads all the time. It's quite funny if you collected the entire line, since you'd have one guy be a viking and cowboy in one playing.

BTW, I always thought Kenner was simly a bunch of greedy jerks. LOL
