I was watching saying to myself, "Yeah, you'll never get that seatbelt on with his mask on." Because I remember being 8 and playing with it. Incredible toy. Cheers for the nostalgia 👍
I had one of these when I was little in the mid 90's. I used to have so many neat toys from the 80's that ended up in thrift stores during my childhood. I wish i still had them all.
Listening to the hard plastic squeak and make all that noise while fiddling with this car makes me wonder how ANY of this stuff survived! Glad they made it durable enough to be played with.
I sold a complete Raven (both discs, clean, good stickers, no scratches) on eBay like 10 years ago for $40. I wasn't nostalgia-geeking on M.A.S.K. at the time and it was childhood toy. Boy do I wish I had it back. I'd pay double.
Did you know that the names of 'Raven' and 'Manta' were (for some reason) switched? Vanessa Warfield's car flies, and she has pet ravens, whereas this car is water based, so should have been called Manta. Similar errors happened with 4LOM and Zuckuss from StarWars, and the character bios of Sunstreaker and Sideswipe from The Transformers. Regarding Calhoun's helmet, I assume it can alter the size of things, given the name 'Gulliver'. Better than calling it 'Brobdingnag'!
Blade Runner?! More like Back to the Future II! The wheels fold down just like the flying cars (and DeLorean) in that movie! And that's a Corvette, not a Trans Am! Nothing like KITT, heh.
Amazing how well the toy held up. I remember when I had mine and, after just a few years, the "stripes" were fading and the wheels would flop around if you lifted Raven because of playing "Back to the Future" with it.
😍😍😍 Childhood Memories...Thank you for this. Raven was my Favorite...because he had the K.I.T.T.Style 😄 we had some Missions together in the Bathtub. Much love from Germany and stay healthy.
Still got this minus a door, other door won't stay on lol, however Burns hasn't aged a day. This was the second MASK vehicle and one of the best, the first I had was Piranha
Ah, love the MASK toys. Almost as much as Transformers. Had quite a few of them. Thunderhawk, Condor, Raven, Stinger, Switchblade, Manta, Firecracker, Gator, Split Second, Pirahna, Jackhammer, Rhino, Bulldog..among others.
GREAT. Helped me a lot for preparing it for my MOVE project. . You would certainly like my MASK toy-photography project. If you want to know more about it, let me know :-) :-)
Ah yes, the Knight Rider ripoff. I had this, got it for my birthday from some Aunt and Uncle who apparently didn't know me at all. I was so mad not to get a Transformers which collected vehemently. For Mask it's not the worst toy, but like all Mask toys, it's a bad U.S. attempt to replicate what Japan did with Transformers- meaning they Transform, but not in any great way, just from one vehicle to another. Also it bothers me that if you tried to take this thing on water, rather than hydrofoiling the gull wings would just cause water to get in the backseat. It's not the worst toy, and in like, 1979 or so would have been incredible- certainly isn't as lame as say Rhino vs. Optimus Prime (seriously, which would you want?) but I could have done without almost all U.S. attempts at toymaking at the time when it was never gonna come close to Japan.
My favourite toy as a kid ! Dont even know what hapoened to it or any of my toys just gone ... no doubt as a twat teenager i gave it away or worse threw it away ...wounded
Rikardo Kbrera I just finished watching all the m.a.s.k episodes yesterday and raven was only in a few episodes. The corvette is one the coolest looking mask toys.
Funny to realise how many toys I completely forget having as a kid. Out of the M.A.S.K toys I only remember having Jackhammer, Raven and Rhino. Looking at your vids reminds me I also had Condor, Firefly, Pirhana, Bullet and Vampire. I guess those just weren't good enough to be memorable. Thanks for bringing back a few long forgotten memories!
Much appreciate your M.A.S.K. reviews! I had just over half of them when I was a tike. The great thing about these (and why you can still find them usually complete on the aftermarket) was that they were made so well. Top quality plastic that stood up to loads of abuse by kids. You really had to try to break them (which I did with my Thunderhawk several times).
I got Thunderhawk Jackhammer Raven Stinger T-Bob Condor All came with the matching figure, only two didn't have the mask but at least all are in working order.
Duuuuuuuddeeeeeee!!!! Thank you!!! I was born in 1981, by the way. Owned it when I was about 4, 5 years old. Must've been 5 since you said it was a 1986 car.
Had this as a kid and buried it at the beach in sand and then couldn't find it, just a few days ago tho I found a guy selling a load of these out of box. So now I have this back again plus 5 more I never had. Great reviews keep em coming.
you should raise both of his arms to make him seat properly and also enable him to use the seat belt easily. nice review...and also one of my favorite MASK vehicle in the series.

Mask toys are so cool. I spent many happy hours playing with them, a shame toys aren’t like this nowadays.

There's the corvette... My favorite raven!!awesome review!!!
mgvillanmp478 Thanks mate
Thx
Bringing back some vivid memories
One of the best overall MASK vehicles, seatbelts aside.
i had this car as a toy ..... omg ... flashbacks.....
Coolest car they had
I love his car

This never occurred to me.
Interesting!
This was my favorite toy as kid thanks for posting this
Early 80's Chevy Corvette. Wanting to say '83 to I'm not sure when.
It was called "Gulliver" because he'd use it to shrink, as a nod to "Gulliver's Travels" I imagine. He couldn't use it to grow bigger, though.
I've got one of these
cool, which ones did you get?
Corvette
I have this when my dad was a kid
ebay mate, there's lots to be found
Your big arse fingers haha! Kids have small hands :)
Blade Runner?! More like Back to the Future II! The wheels fold down just like the flying cars (and DeLorean) in that movie!
And that's a Corvette, not a Trans Am! Nothing like KITT, heh.

Great Video!!! I loved playing with Raven :) The popping up Boosters were the Best! Played Knight Rider with it so no Driver was needed, lol ...
😍😍😍
Childhood Memories...Thank you for this.
Raven was my Favorite...because he had the K.I.T.T.Style 😄 we had some Missions together in the Bathtub.
Much love from Germany and stay healthy.
By the way, the attack mode is intended to be a seaplane.
Still got this minus a door, other door won't stay on lol, however Burns hasn't aged a day. This was the second MASK vehicle and one of the best, the first I had was Piranha

When he finish to put The security belt
V.E.N.O.M. Win The battle.😂😂😂😂😂
Had forgotten all about this car. Thank you for posting!
some of the best toys were made between 1982-1986. All die cast metal, no cheap parts and so much detail.
My favourite toy as a kid ! Dont even know what hapoened to it or any of my toys just gone ... no doubt as a twat teenager i gave it away or worse threw it away ...wounded
His Gulliver mask allows him to shrink objects.
It's way easier, if you feed the seatbelt under the inner arm and over the body.
Raven is a seaplane. Not a submarine!!!
You know what they say about a guy with a small sports car.....
He's probably a M.A.S.K. agent!
Rikardo Kbrera I just finished watching all the m.a.s.k episodes yesterday and raven was only in a few episodes. The corvette is one the coolest looking mask toys.
my first toy, my best toy for ever
😇
a bit late to reply, but if i remember it right, the trick was the put an arm over the belt to get it to fit right.
Reminiscing K.I.T.T.
Thank you for this. Trip down memory lane. Loved my Raven car, my favourite of all the MASK vehicles.
my toy!!
Raven in style, Corvette C4. the quint essential 80s American sportscar.
this was my first mask car
Mine too, still got it, doors came off though
This car supposed to be a Christmas gift, but I find it before the Christmas day and I play with it. Memories from the 80's.
this was my first mask car
back when i was a kid, this has always been KITT to me^^ and even calhoun burns looked a little like michael knight xD
+actionjackman This is actually KITT from Knight Rider.
Bosco Cheng KITT was a Pontiac Firebird and Raven here is based on the C4 Corvette. But there is certainly a Knight Rider influence in this.
This isn't kit nore based on kit nore do I see a influence beyond its black.
Funny to realise how many toys I completely forget having as a kid. Out of the M.A.S.K toys I only remember having Jackhammer, Raven and Rhino. Looking at your vids reminds me I also had Condor, Firefly, Pirhana, Bullet and Vampire. I guess those just weren't good enough to be memorable.

Same here, I've always had a soft spot for that design.
My Brother good this. Still looks amazing.
Glad your enjoying them, quite a few to come!
I had this as a child. I'd love to have it back
2:20 oh my god, stoooop!
where to find these toys? i am so missed them...
I love two disks you know what I mean
Had to be in time capsule one of those... haha
COOL! i want this one :D
got it mate! thanks! :D
4:03 Men in Black reference.
he got the disk
sausage fingers

Jackhammer
Raven
Stinger
T-Bob
Condor
All came with the matching figure, only two didn't have the mask but at least all are in working order.
Duuuuuuuddeeeeeee!!!! Thank you!!!
I was born in 1981, by the way. Owned it when I was about 4, 5 years old. Must've been 5 since you said it was a 1986 car.
it's an 80's car with a Late 90's and Early 2000's Techno Style.
Edit: the style reminds of Batman Beyond Batmobile according to the colors.
Had this as a kid and buried it at the beach in sand and then couldn't find it, just a few days ago tho I found a guy selling a load of these out of box. So now I have this back again plus 5 more I never had. Great reviews keep em coming.

Dyantoko Pratomo Thanks mate
I had one too, and like you, anything that reminded me of Knight Rider was awesome haha!
Yes...🥳
Streethawk was cool, too.
Back in the Days...my Mountainbike and me...😎😉
