That one didnt have the same wow factor as some of the other vehicles, but that motorcycle and pick-up mode is boss, and that name, Hondo McClain (or however that is spelled) makes me want this very much. Thanks for reviewing these :)
This is my all time favorite M.A.S.K. vehicle and is what got me hooked on the show and the toys. Did you ever take it apart and fix that mechanism? Mine isn't working great either and I'm thinking of trying to fix it but I'm reluctant to start taking apart a 35 yr old toy that I have a sentimental attachment to and screw it up even more.
First try to Push and hold the black lever on the fender forward ( towards front of vehicle ) as you push the tire down into place. that should make it hold instead of taking it apart. I had that issue with one I owned and that's what worked for me.
Unfortunatly my truck suffered an accident...many times 😅😅playing with it when I was a child. Hondo missed one leg and one hand. I don’t have the motorcycle anymore, but I save the rest of the truck and Hondo just to remember my chilhood.
I have Rhino, Condor, Firecracker, Switchblade (my first), Slingshot, Raven, and Outlaw. I've played with everything from waves 1 and 2. But those are what I got for X-mas and B-days, eventually went on to play with something else later on. Correct me if I'm wrong, I have to dig my Firecracker out of storage, but didn't the tire fire off when you moved the switch. Not the under carriage one, but the one on the top back tire's fender well.
I still have my Raven, Vampire, Billboard Blast, and the mail-away Collector. One day either they'll put out new toys or I'll find some of the others I always wanted, like Firefly, Bulldog, Switchblade, Goliath, and a couple others. I am really digging these reviews.
I remember always taking the tire off before going to attack mode because if I didn't the tire would automatically launch itself when it switched modes. Also, I noticed that Hondo's mask looks a little different here. The one I had was just that mask that went over his eyes, it didn't have all that extra stuff around and below it. Why is that there? I think my Brad Turner mask had something similar.
There's no way they'd give you the extra motorcycle today.
I loved mask, they could go crazy with that concept now
Seeing your MASK videos makes me want to get them again and play...
I couldn't figure out how to mount the motorcycle / rack onto the tailgate, thank you!!!

Firecracker was the one I always regretted not getting. I got Hurricane. Rofl.
I always wanted the big carrier truck with the race car that turns into a tank and the car turned into a jet
I use to have this guy as well and had the same issue with the back tire it would never stay on.
JACKED UP!
I have this!!!!! I wish i know where it is!!!
The mask looks like Armada Red alert's head.
It might just be the age of the toy, but that plastic sounds really rickety and not sturdy at all.
1984 was a good year for toys,Ben
Love these retro reviews.

hurricane is the only mask vehicle I've got
Cool!
I have the same problem with the tire firing mechanism. Did you ever fix it and if so how did you do it??

Yeah most of the masks had extra plastic parts to make them less of a choking hazard.
That looks brand new, what's with that?
Are they brining these back??? I had the black car (long forgot the name) but loved these toys!!
MASK is getting a new comic and that might lead to more media. Also it sounds like you probably had Raven when you were a kid.
raven ... I owned it a long time ago
+batlantern That's awesome to hear!!! I'll have to look out for these guys!! Thank you!!
+Adam Davies That name rings a bell!! Thank you!!
Always thought this one was cool.
Never liked this one. It's transformation was...it's a little higher off the ground with a gun
