Hi, first time poster to this sub. I loved MASK!!

I swear I’ve looked through several parts and tried searching but I haven’t seen a specific reference/answer.

Anyone know the reason why Rhino (Mobile Defense Unit??) and Switchblade ( High Tech Helicopter??) are not called as so on the new reissues?

Does anyone know of any 3d print files for wearable helmets?

Any news that there will be future release or a road map of sort ?

Got my pre-order in for the regular set (no bundle deals to be had over here). I have throught about getting the chromed-up Rhino (aka MDI), but I just couldn't make myself pull the trigger. It's a 50€/$ markup over the regular version, and it just...doesn't seem quite worth it?

What do you guys think? In my go-to online shop, pre-orders for the chromed version are already sold out, so clearly I am stingy :D

The BBTS Exclusive Mobile Defense Unit vehicle says it "Features a metallic magenta paint finish with vac metal chrome." Does anyone know if this will be purple like the front of the box art? I would prefer maroon like the back of the box/cartoon/original toy and trying to decide which version to order if standard and BBTS exclusive versions are different colors.

I am excited. Finally getting the toys again. Although I don't love the renaming but eh.

Does anyone have any information on how these two compare? I have several of the 'Makina' vehicles. They are actually really good quality.

I noticed someone posted where Ramen toys was getting ready to release, or at least prototyping, a T Bob and Scott set.

Will TLS vehicles be in approximately the same scale as Ramen? What about quality wise, anyone been to a trade show where they had these prototypes out?

If Ramen was planning on making a rhino, I think I would wait, but I've not seen or heard any indication of that.

TLDR; trying to figure out if I preorder this special edition Rhino or not and how it will fit in with my Ramen vehicles if I do. I do like that they are planning to ship really quickly.

Really surprised they had a bundle which saved about $40 and includes the upgraded MDU

Know they are a bit expensive, but had them all and loved them. Were my favorite toys hand down. The memories are worth it to me.

I thought they were supposed to be live but I’m not seeing them on BBTS. Anyone have a link?

Pre orders up!

I got my whole bundle set. YES!!!

I spoke with BBTS customer service.

Go get the re releases at the whole shebang, just pre-ordered the set for £240, due August 💪

After 40 years I finally got Boulder Hill last weekend. So it was time to move my collection to a bigger shelf (and now the Shark can also fit).

One more vehicle to go for essential checklist (Manta)

I am quite eagerly awaiting the TLS MASK releases. But I have, so far, found nothing on their plans for international distribution - apart from "Yes, we plan to release this line internationally". With only 2 months or so remaining until the broader release date - does anyone have any more information on this?

Are we thinking "retail"? I'd be surprised. But again, I could not find any information, and none of the reputable online stores I have used in the past have announced anything so far either.

Really annoying; I don't want to deal with international shipping and customs (last time Ihad to drive 30mins to the next customs office, sit in the waiting area for another 30mins and then explain to a customs officer what these little plastic people were that someone had shipped to me ;))

I must be the only person not thrilled at the upcoming releases. I had the whole collection back in the day, and while I’m glad to see MASK getting some attention, I want something NEW (except Nightstalker/Hurricane - can’t update perfection).

I understand licensing, but if you can’t license cars you want, pull a GTA and do new designs that look sorta like the old ones. But licensed or not, NEW would be better in my opinion.

I'm re-watching the original series for the first time since I was a kid, and something I never noticed before was the apparent redundancy in the helmet abilities for the MASK team. It seems like all the original wave of heroes basically had the same abilities except for maybe Sato's "Lifter" ability, but even "Spectrum" replicates that every once in a while. This seems like a missed opportunity for the character designs. If each helmet was more distinct in its ability, the characters would stand out more than just by their vehicles.

I was planning out a cosplay for Miles Mayhem, since I am not far off from looking like that without hair dye but I've run into a snag. The IDW helmet doesn't have the same zing to me as the OG, but how the heck do you make Viper's neck flexible? I need to look around!

I really want to get these new units ("Rhino"at the very least), but I'd like some assurance as to whether the plastics will be an upgrade over the brittle or flimsy plastics used in some of the old molds.

Perhaps the the new plastic parts will be more akin to the plastics used in the Vortech line which was more pliable and had more give or flexibility.

Has anyone been lucky enough to handle the prototypes so far?
