Really great review. Stinger is based on a 1972 Pontiac GTO. I love the detail on these toys, and it's just something that is not present on action based vehicles these days. Unfortunatley Kenner lost the Good Year licence in 1987, but if you look closely it says 35psi on the tires, but not on all the vehicles though.
Well, just bought a Stinger via eBay. Too many memories after watching this, and even if I won't be able to get all Wave 1 and 2, I hope to get a couple more. Rhino...
I recall that I really liked the look of his mask; but the bit in front of the windshield was always fiddly and wobbly and didn't always fully extend. Still, had a lot of fun with him.
Last I checked and actually saw some available was somewhere around 2011 to 2012 and Rhino was 50 bucks loose complete. Same with Matt Tracker and the Trans-Am or w/e it was and the lesser ones and versions with holes in the tops of the mask (due to child safety from a lawsuit from a kid choking on the originals) those were around $25-$30. How much in todays value would they cost?
They have shot up in price a bit alright. Rhino is about $60 to 90 these days. Thunderhawk has also went up in price as well. In fact it's about 50 or so now. They seem to get more expensive every year, especially the split seconds vehicles.
He had a blue/purple off-roader in the cartoon, right? The one where the back half of the cab turned into a turret? It's all a bit hazy, I know more Transformers from G1 than MASK vehicles :) The only one besides Thunder Hawk I could name was Switchblade, the chopper/jet thing Myles Mayhem had. I wanted that thing so bad when MASK was a thing. But my parents went "Either Transformers or this". G1 won :)

Imo the most bad ass looking M.A.S.K. / V.E.N.O.M.
Better than every muscle car that was used on the Fast & Furious franchise
The only vehicle without the Venom sticker
The venom vehicles generally were cooler than mask ones
just bought one on ebay 20$ missing side pipes and driver .
I wish I still had that awesome boulder hill playset from when I was a kid. That thing was fun.
Thank you, I am sincerely enjoying those vintage reviews!
One of the nicer ones in terms of transformations.
missed out on mask. they really need to bring this toy line back.
Bruno looks like a mix between Sloth from Goonies & human Bebop from TMNT Out of the Shadows.
The mask toy I have left that isn't broken !!! Love this thing !
Can't wait to see Raven, that's the one I remember most as a kid.
This is one of the vehicles, I could only dream of, since it wasn't released in my country.
Loving these M.A.S.K reviews!
I wanted that one so much as a kid but never got it. Now thanks to you I,m scanning ebay for one. LOL.

Thanks! Also, that's some interesting info.

Ah yes, the perfect tactical weapon... a tank with a t-top
Ah, I had this one (might still have it somewhere in a box, come to think of it; I think one of the wheels has broken off)

Can u buy these for reasonable price still? Maybe at conventions or from collectors? I'd really like to invest in the first 2 waves at least

Idk, 60 bucks?

You're thinking of Jackhammer, driven by Cliff Dagger.
+humperdidoo Thanks for clearing that up.
Why didn't you say "both"?
I always wanted this toy since I was a kid, but my parents bought me Switchblade in stead :(
Are you going to do a review of the Venom purple Nissan 300zx?
That is one of the ones I don't currently have.
I have that, a very rare mask vehicle, the Manta, with Vanessa Warfield.
Is M.A.S.K one of those 80's or 90's cartoons like Johnny quest?
Yes, early eighties. Ciao!
Johnny Quest is from the 60s!
So a metal grill to protect the windshield... and no ceiling... Nice.
