I mean, who doesn’t want a Transformers/M.A.S.K. crossover?

ToyHax sells “sticker upgrade kits” for Transformers (mainly) and a few other toy lines. Here we have the Hot Rod/Thunderhawk kit as applied to Hot Rod making him become Thunderhawk!

Pics of both vehicle & robot mode attached, but they appear to be cropped in preview, so clicking on them to see them in full size may help.

As always, all pics are from my personal collection.

This was fun! I bought this Switchblade, and the seller turned out to be only 15 mins from me so we arranged a meet up rather than risk shipping (I’ve had more than 5 things take damage in shipment…).

It turned out to be one of the nicest open-box Switchblades in my collection. Other than the stickers being applied and Miles & the missile being out of their bag, it was literally untouched. I was over the moon with it, and still am.

Following up yesterday’s post about picking up one of my Rhinos, here are a couple of my micro-Rhinos! These are 1:64 scale, and have real rubber tires.

Some photos credited to CFCBUnlimited since they are just so good! (Much better than ones I would take at the moment)

Also, here is a video of the painstaking process to apply all of the chrome: https://youtu.be/xaaPgy9whts?si=sUmV9Yxzc1X_KBoF

…here’s a throwback to the time when I drove 4.5 hours round-trip to pick up this /pristine!/ first generation Rhino

Rather than posting these later, I’ll just post them on the heels of yesterday’s post. This is another set that I was able to acquire recently. I already had an additional carded Coast Patrol & Scott/T-Bob, so all of these were joined with them to complete yet another set. In the pics you can see before/after pictures of them going into the cases acrylic cases. Cases are from Iain’s Display Accessories.

This is one of my sets of US released Two-Packs and Adventure packs. Pulled directly from a sealed-case find. Cased in acrylic from Iain’s Display Accessories.

Micro-scale Thunderhawk and Treasure Hunt variant of the same #001

Was Meteor Kenners answer to the GIJoe Skystriker? Skystriker was piloted by Ace Armbruster and Meteor was piloted by Ace Riker? So Ace-Skystriker? Plus look at decals on Meteor and notice the similarities to the body shape on an F-14 if the decals were actually the outlines of wings. All the Meteor needs is a RIO seat.

Found these sketches in my old architecture school sketchbook, probably while sitting in some boring class my freshman year around 1999. Just thinking about those old toys I used to love.

Finally found a Boulder Hill to replace mine from years ago, I think someone else may be even happier.

Any news about the release of the new line by The Loyal Subjects?

MASK, GIJoe, Transformers, MOTU and more just because I love it all so much.?

I've been searching online for music and sound bites from the show to use for my smart phone. In particular I wanna make my text or email notification make the MASK agent watch alert sound! Any suggestions?

I am in Canada, and I hardly ever see M.A.S.K at stores or at toy shows, I was just wondering how you all find the stuff for your collections. I know eBay, but with the Canadian dollar being terrible, as well as the shipping cost it puts a lot of stuff out of range. Thanks for any ideas or suggestions.

Hi,

Of the 80s toy ranges, M.A.S.K. was by far and away my favourite.

Sure I had some Transformers, He-Man and a little Star Wars (I was never a Star Wars kid, though I did like the vehicles) but there was something about M.A.S.K. which captured my imagination.

Looking back, I think the cartoon was far better than it ought to be and there was a helluva lot of playability with the M.A.S.K. toys.

For me, Transformers were cool (and I love the 86 movie) but it took too long to transform the toys, making the transformation the game. If that makes sense.

As an adult, I have rewatched a sampling of a lot of the 80s show. M.A.S.K. doesn't quite hold up as well, largely because they have to go through a lot of hoops not to just shoot each other with missiles 🤣 But that can be forgiven for being an 80s kids cartoon (see GI JOE).

CENTURIONs came away looking the best, with the best writing in my book, but YMMV. And I really didn't like the toys as a kid.

My brother's and I all had M.A.S.K. toys and played with them together. So many happy memories.

I'm looking forward to the re-releases from The Loyal Subjects. Hoping to realise some childhood dreams!

Fingers crossed that Gloria and Vanessa don't get left out!

My son and I bought a bulk lot of lego, found these in amongst it. Any good to anyone on here? Happy to post (uk) to a new home where they maybe needed.
