- MASK - the cartoon and toys featuring Matt Trakker, Miles Mayhem and the most 80's designs imaginable!
Have a gander at this short film project: kck.st/2c34llK
(It occurs to me that "Julio Lopez" actually sounds more South American? Dunno)
One thing I find really interesting and funny about the MASK members is that they had average everyday jobs that they end up having to leave in the middle of when they get called to fight VENOM. So, like, Hondo I believe worked at a pizza parlor, and he'd have to ditch his job each time he got the call, and it didn't take me until recently to realize that, they would have to use those jobs as cover jobs that are kept up by Matt Tracker, because otherwise, with the sheer amount of time they had to ditch them to fight VENOM, they'd be fired eventually for dereliction of duties.
**clocks in**
See ya when I see ya - tata!
"Miles Mayhem's Evil Network of Mayhem Evil Venom Evil"
Nailed it.

It's Stuart Ashen, Ashens means AshenS

"Lets ignore the terrible writing and get to the vehicles."
And this ladies and gentlemen, was how the Transformer movies were made
There were vehicles in those? It was mostly just humans running around from indistinguishable grey masses of tiny moving parts as far as I recall...
@@BloodrealmX No
Well done Ashens, the car is indeed based on a Camaro, a 3rd gen Camaro no less.
And the jeep boat thing, think that car is just a bit Bond bug
google if not sure what one is and yes you could but one
back in the early 1970s on a bike licence with out the
need pass a car test
I had an 86 Z28. One of the coolest cars I ever owned...not exactly the most reliable, however.
now is it an Iroc Z or not... FLAME WAR
+Liam It is. *gets the fire extinguisher*
+Tony Pate I don't exactly think a Toyota Land Cruiser looks like a Reliant
I want a home video of Ashens playing with his toys from like 30 years ago
It's the same video, but in much lower quality and Stuart has much smaller hands.
It's the same video, literally, but 30 years from now.
Unfortunately most families didn’t have camcorders in 1987. Or if they did, the VHS has deteriorated to the extent that it isn’t useable now. My grandpa’s super 8 films from the 1960s are in better shape. 😂
Hasbro are planning to merge MASK, Transformers and GI Joe into one universe at the moment. Possibly to do their own version of the Marvel movie universe Etc.
But MASK toys are coming back soon.
Also Rom and Micronauts.
All we need is something like the centurions to come back and it's like the 80sare returning lol,.
the comic universe merging story starts next month
+Larry Bundy Jr
Man you always have all the right facts don't you Larry?
Good job!
is this serious? grew up far past the time of these toys but id love to see them make a comeback
-"They were just trying to make a lot of money, by nefarious means"
So they were basically Nestle.
Far more honest than typical corporate evil
I absolutely love these retro toy/game/etc videos. While I may not have been old enough to enjoy them at the time ('89 baby here), I love the stuff that came from and happened during the 80's. Keep up the awesome work!
🖖Happy🎂33rd👍
"We may never know, but, equally, we may never care." - Stuart Ashens, 2016
If that's not inspirational I don't know what is.
playing MASK at my friend's house was sooo exciting, thank you for the flashbacks!!
Holy shit. Thanks for the blast from the past! I remember my dad brought me home a M.A.S.K VHS he bought from an op/thrift shop! Rest his soul :(
He died bringing you home a MASK vhs?
I had a MASK toy when I was a kid... for a single day. One christmas my grandmother bought me and my brother this toy which was an articulated lorry that transformed into a control tower or something, in the back of the truck was a racing car that transformed into a plane (I think). It was an amazing toy but it broke almost immediately after getting out the box. My granny took it away and said she would get us a new one but we never saw it again. Years later me and my brother would wistfully remember the awesome truck toy that we got to play with for a matter of minutes before it was whisked away forever.
I think it was a MASK toy anyway.
That was Goliath. Actually it came with Nevada Rushmore and yet another Matt Tracker variant.
@Oh My Mod Raven was a black car, not a lorry.
I still think that the '80s intro is my favorite intro.
it's the only intro with effort put into changing it
Nah, my favourite is still the Poundland one: "boop beep, boop beep, beep boop - cheapo!"
Blind bag is best. (My opinion)
"I can see perfectly!"
My favorite is the ultra rare Barry "Barry Lewis" Lewis one. "Oh my Goodness"
I'm partial to the loot crate ones. "Are we *still* doing these?"
I wish he'd use this intro more often. Fucking awesome.
i like how no matter how old these videos are they never change.
Anyone remember crash dummies? From about 1995 use to love them figures the fell to bits as well as the crash test cars.
I do still have some of them, and the bad guys who were made out of junk, They were quite fragile though.
I had a few of the cars as a kid, think i got them at a school fete in the early noughties. Probably still have them lying about somewhere.
I had some. I'd always lose bits of them.
ocelot20 yh i had the car and couple of figures
ocelot20 those were awesome. I had two of them.
Love the new intro, and have heard so much about 80's toys from my dad so Im super excited for more M.A.S.K stuff
ashens I need to sleep dammit! its 2:28am
yeah same here
+Master Chef yay
Up for work in 4.5 hours :(
+Tom Langton not to good
It's 8:39 P.M. in Wisconsin.
Oh my word! This just took me right back to my childhood. Toys that I had forgotten I'd bought (we parents had at least). More Mask vids please!!!! 😍
"Oh my god, Miles Mayhem has kicked an orphan in the teeth" xD
I had the whole collection of these cars and probably still do somewhere. I used to find them at antique shops when I would go stay with grandma for summers. I had no idea what they went with but it was the coolest transforming toy I'd ever seen. Thank you for giving me somewhat of a backstory to what these cars were from, to this day I still didn't know.
I'm liking the intro
+Jake Roberts leafy?
+Jake Roberts reminds me of stranger things
+Combat Knives yep
that outro though!
I like it too, but it needs the silly eyes and audio 'hello'. Otherwise it's great.
"It fires knives" "It fires totem poles" How are either of these more effective than just bringing a gun?
Also, I think the helicopter/plane design does work in a way, you get the manoeuvrability and adaptability of a helicopter with the speed and altitude reach of an aeroplane.
Guns don't exist in children's cartoons and if they do they're next to useless.
Thing about the venom being a clearly evil thing is that magneto decided to name his mutant activist group “brotherhood of evil mutants”
Biggest nostalgia flash ever. This was my jam back then, while others had Transformers and such I mainlined for the M.A.S.K. stuff.
It's baffling how many people think this is the new permanent intro
What's baffling is people didn't notice the miss spelling or the picture of Barry that pops up for a millisecond....
literally every time he whips it out
what's even more baffling is why you put a question mark at the end of that sentence.
I wish it was the permanent intro.
+Pablo Punchwood lol 😂
I loved these toys as a kid! Seeing them as an adult reminds me how little aesthetic taste I had as a child.
Any toy car that had open-able doors doubled as a plane for kids in the 80s/90s. Imagination is totally radical dudes.
well they are called gull-winged doors for a reason XD
@@DOSRetroGamer nope - _even normal-opening doors are now become wings_ lol!
(The trick was to open them & then hold the vehicle in the air & make 🚀 noises FTW)
@Rag thats why my General Lee never properly flew... doors being welded shut & all
Every time I see the current opening, I can FEEL the VHS playing it.
I have never been more excited to click on a toy car in front of a couch.
Just come across your channel today and I love ur 80’s toy videos cause they bring back so many great memories. I had the mask toys and they were a favourite of mine.Thanks for the memories &Thanks for your awesome content. Great job 👍🏻
Ashens reminds me so much of Howard Moon sometimes...
*Howard Moon*: Day twelve; Vince dead. All is lost. So alone. Wind my only friend...
*Wind*: [gusty whisper] I hate youuuuu...
*Howard Moon*: Shut up, Wind!
I've never noticed but now you've said that I'm shocked because that's so accurate lol
Does that make Barry Chef Excellence Vince Noir?
I'm Stuart Ashens, I don't buffet about on the winds of fashion. There's a simple truth to me.
Jazzens
that intro and outro are so 80's... i love it. wish it was permanent.
and according to the M.A.S.K wiki, julio lopez' mask' abilities are "Its main power allows him to fire large amounts of oil, foam or glue against his enemies." which, if you think about it, ALL relate to SHAVING, or similar! foam, for shaving, oil for oiling the beard, or in HIS case, his MIGHTY mustache, to keep it healthy, and GLUE, to shape it the way you want. XD
Awesome vid Stu thanks for doing M.A.S.K toys been years since I've seen them things so many hours of fun outta them, used to take Brad and Condor with me everywhere.
Also, Ashens you should do an episode about Captain Power and the Soldiers of the Future. An incredibly ambitious show that tried to merge cgi tech of the time with live action, and had interactivity with toys in the show. A kinda cyberpunk ruined future story, that got rather dark as the show went on. It had a lot of episodes written by J. Michael Straczynski before Babylon 5. You should really check it out! :)
SkyCE9A Oh my, yes! Captain Power!
You bring back so many memories for me, some of which I wish you hadn't. Can't wait for the next vid 😊
i wish i had i mask that made curry
Ahhh the memories! Used to love Mask as a kid.
Can someone PLEASE give me a link to where ashens did that undercover pound land footage from years ago!!!
Or did that never get recorded?
+Andy Ake nice profile pic
+Jiahong L thank you so bloody much! 👍
did you find it?
+Andy Ake link?
Nostalgiagasm !!! I loved MASK. Thank you Dr Ashen sir...
No one's concerned Ashens has a barrel capable of killing everyone in the Western Hemisphere??
You have no Idea how much I love this show!!!
“I’ll do 2 or 3 videos on M.A.S.K.”
Where they at bro
Well done sir! Also love the class intro and outro!
11:19 Tunnel snakes rule?
*mom dies of cockroaches*
03:25
😂I was just thinking what if he actually accidentally dropped the rocket right down the back of his couch just like its siblings, never to be seen again.😂
at the time im posting this, no one has watched the whole video
Pshhh nahhhh...OK fine!
Same
Ashens had
well ashens had
That's because Ashens is fucking weirrrrrrd and posted this at like 3am local time.
Beautifully British commentary on this, I laughed all the way through. Great viewing, thanks for posting 👍
12:40 it's a bloody bellypoter
It's adorable to lol
19:52 I have the vaguest memory that Firecracker may have been used to drive through rivers, hence the vertical springy-sproingy gimmick.
Spectrum-man, saviour of sperg.
Ashens doing 80s things is worth it for the intro/outro alone.
Ali Bombay? What's next, Mario Spaghetti? :P
Esme Marion Pierre Eiffel
Franz Schnitzel
There is a character in Hitman 2016 called Claudio Spaghetti. Sapienza map. I think it's the one in the basement lounge drinking tea. Rocco's sister goes down there if you trigger the opportunity with Rocco.
I love how Ashens says in regards to the helicopter "I wish I had one in real life". You know, as opposed to the virtual reality that Ashens now lives in.
They all wore helmets? Well shouldn't the show of been called M.A.S.H ?? That sounds like a creative never used title!
M*A*S*H was already taken lol
+Centipede isn't that the joke?
Woosh.
Dats da jooooke.
I remember trying to convince my friend to watch M.A.S.H. once.
"It's funny!"
"No it's not"
"Yes it is, it's got a guy who dresses like a woman!"
"How is that funny?"
**Blinks** ???
Love to see more 80s toys in this series!
Mask, well my joy with these toys where shortlived when i shot an arrow from one of the toys into my cousins eyes....
Good.
Aw damn, what happened??
+ahums16 he shot a toy arrow into his cousins eyes
Eepyoptoopt
XP I mean if he was alright, how badly hurt, etc. silly.
ahums16
she just cried alot, nothing really happend.
Ashens has now entered full on 80s mode all we need is some "Your the best around" as well as a cheesy 80s montage and...boom! There you go, Ashens is in full 80s mode.
Anybody else looking forward to the possibility of an Ashens Halloween special 2016? I hope he finds enough new items at poundland to do one. I know its early in the year yet, but blame the video suggestions for reminding me of the 2015 video.
By far my favorite toy line from when I was little.
Was expecting The Mask with Jim Carrey toys
Okay, HOW are people subscribed to Ashens and not know he does a different intro for the different style of videos? -.-
This one for 80's, i can see perfectly for blind bag, the throwing up one for food, the poundland one with the money eyes, like, he's been doing this for QUITE some time now!
OK, not gonna lie, that totem mask sounds like it's the best one.
That is some G Gundam level shit with that Totem MASK.
He wanted his own Totemizer*, but got this instead.
*Registered Trademark of Frobozz Electric. Inc.
exactly, who wouldn't think of a mask that could fire miniature totem poles?! it is like a rocket launcher that fires machine guns that fire semi automatic pistols that fire bb guns!
I applaud you. I fucking love Grand Inquisitor.
03:18 you know it will be lost in the sofa when he left it unattended
19:05 aaaaaand it´s gone in the sofa.
Nah, just kidding.
Good job, Ashens for not losing it.
Awesome! There was also a Mack truck and driver and a gas station which was the good guys base. Pity I was more interested in Jason and the Wheeled Warriors at the time. Funny thing is no one was insulted by the now racist stereotypes at the time. We thought our stereotypes were really cool role models because no one told us about individuality being more important than the racial fortes and weaknesses you're born with.
dude I had that Gas Station Base! I used it for my autobots!
Biologist here. The term "race" has long been abandoned in life sciences. There is hardly such a thing as racial fortes and weaknesses. Even different species can be extremely similar in their phenotype enabling them sometimes even to breed and bring forth fertile offsprings. So shed your belief and accept that the term race is merely a political and social construct as well as outdated and extremely vague. Have a nice one ;)
was it jason ? i rememeber it being called something like joyce or jayce and the wheeled warriors myself
Funny thing, that. It's kind of like how some folks saw Speedy Gonzales as a bit of a negative stereotype, when IIRC he was really popular in Latin America.
Ashens: "... and it fired small totems at people..."
Me: "Oh fuck off!"
Julio's mask was called Streamer. it could spray stuff like foam, oil, or glue.
It could also shoot salsa verde con aguacate
And at drug fueled raves, it fires off glitter and confetti.
ben trimble 😅
In the mid '80s I worked at a photographic studio and we did a lot of product photography for an importer/distributor of MASK toys. Most of the time they could did not want the toys back after we photographed them so we ended up with boxes of the toy vehicles and little action figures. No one at the studio was interested in having the toys and I was told to get rid of all that tat, so I put them in the back of my car and took them for a friend to give to his nephews for Christmas that year. I am sure there were other '80s toys that were there as well but seeing this reminded me of the MASK toys.
I acquired the Starcom brand years ago and have been working on the reboot for a long time.
The problems I have come across have been heartbreaking and infuriating.
The original cartoons are owned by cookie jar, or was they may have changed hands
I own the brand although am running out of time
I can't get any sort of finance to move forward. The legalities are a minefield. You see I wanted the animation and toy production in house and this is unheard of somewhat.
I wanted full control with a group of select partners including artists and scriptwriters
Episodic 45 minute series with seasonal production
Nothing like the original, more of a real life sciences of today and tomorrow solving real world problems of today and tomorrow.
I can't give too much away but if anyone knows anyone who may be interested in bringing this space opera to life let me know
I had even got angels and airwaves involved with music licensing and a special character based on Thomas Delonge.
Holy shit these are bringing back memories. I had completely forgot about these toys. Had no clue what you was talking about at the beginning then you brought out the first toy and, a flood of memories came back. I had so many of these toys.
"I plan to do two or three videos on MASK."
hmmm
I've never clicked an Ashens video faster. I had a bunch of M.A.S.K. toys as a kid and watched the cartoon, and it seems all but forgotten by most people.
Speaking of lazy writing, Chuck Lorre was one of the scriptwriters on the show. So there's that.
Yep. He also wrote the TMNT theme song.
Boris is introduced in Mask the movie. Had a truck that turned into a tank type thing. Tracker and Mayhem also had F1 style cars. Thanks for the memories Ashens. I wore that VHS out, and was uber jealous of my friends for having the toys.
Nice Intro.
I saw you on a geography hub flags video....
+BananaSalamander what you talking about PPs? 😂
Nice to know that my tax dollars are not going to waste...
(Yes, I do live in Maryland.)
+BananaSalamander brothers?
+brandon main That's 3 of us...
I love your nostalgic toy reviews. I'd love you to see a Crash Test Dummies review - on of the strangest toy launches in the history of ever
Ordered terrible old games you've probably never heard of.
Oh good, it's an awesome book :)
I just got it last week! It is awesome.
and a comic:
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M.A.S.K.
I had a lovely surprise a couple of years back when my dad was extending my childhood house and dug up my old Brad Turner figure from the back garden having been buried there for for over twenty years. He's now sat happily on my desk, reunited after all that time
Michael Bay + M.A.S.K. = Great idea.
Micheal Bay plus anything equals garbage.
Well if nothing else he won't be the one shoehorning in the racism this time.
Hopefully he gets a try with new Ghostbusters (the last one sucked) movie, and maybe Indiana Jones (that one sucked too).
bad idea.
No
Fucking
Way!
Blimey, had these when I was young, never thought about them until now, probably still in the parents loft with all my other toys from childhood.
why does miles mayhem look like Ulysses S. Grant
Thank you for continuing to entertain me with random nonsense videos that I throughly enjoy!
is there any footage of "nevada rushmore" shooting totem poles out of his face? i feel like i have to see it
masksite.com/nevada.jpg
i love you
Well, thanks, i guess. ^^
i wasn't being too serious c:
+Camalex98 No shit? ;)
Omg !!!! MASK , I use to love this !!!! Thanks for the memories !!!
Wasn't Miles Mayhem the original kazoo player for W.A.S.P.?
(To the six people who might get that joke, I salute you)
...omg.
Nice
he probably fucked like a beast
this has six likes right now lmao can we all appreciate that?
jake bramham
I SAID six people would get the joke!
Yay! New Ashens content = Highlight of the week....well not maybe, but it sure as hell puts a huge smile on my face lol :)
The only cartoon evil organisation I can think of that thought they were the good guys were Team Plasma. And even then, it was only N who thought they were the good guys because the Plasma grunts were a pack of assholes. In Pokemon Black/White, they start kicking a pokemon because they want it to do something, stuff like that.
Logan Morpheus
Well Venom still had an inherently selfish motivation. Also I was more talking about evil organizations, rather than evil characters who are so crazy they think they're the good guy.
Logan Morpheus
The Nazi Party were in a cartoon? o.0
I didn't think anyone else remembered this! Favorite toy as a kid!
so... why are you guys up at 02:35?
It's 9:40 pm, that's why
Where I am I mean
It's high noon
It's 10:43 where I am.
+BadShotGaming YT Same, Canada here
These toys were awesome! Luckily I still have most of mine, including the Rhino and big volcano base 😊
and i actually think it's a GOOD idea, or at least not STUPID, to make each character very stereotypical, so that the kids will get it! MOST cartoon are aimed at CHILDREN, not ADULTS, so there is a lot of bad/weak stuff in them, because the kids won't mind, or notice.
But then you're just teaching kids stereotypes instead of being arsed to write characters that are like actual humans.
Master Markus when you start eliminating "stereotypes" you're really just dictating behavior. Every stereotype exists somewhere. Trying to disenfranchise them because they make you feel uncomfortably white isn't helping anyone
I recently learned this was its own lore. I saw an old video about M.A.S.K., and it pulled up buried memories of playing with a second (third, or fourth) hand Matt Tracker and his magical transforming IROC at some church or community function. Thanks for showing me the rest of the story!
so rip old intro 😢😢
no, this is just the intro he pulls out for when he does 80's stuff. He's used it quite a bit already.
Relax - he didn't ditch the old intro, he just uses this 80's style intro whenever he reviews 80's stuff.
+The Everyicated Gamer
I like this intro.
NOTHING sparks off my nostalgia like MASK. I loved these toys sooooo much.
If they ever do a Gen 1 re-release my credit card is going to be maxed out.
M.A.S.K and Visionaries... greatest childhood ever!
That helicopter reminds me of that mutant one from the Jonny Quest toyline I had a few figures and such from when I was a nipper. Had rotor action courtesy of the tail fin trigger, and lovely glowy brain bits from openings all over it. Quite a memorable toy for me.
Absolutely loved MASK toys as a kid. You had the best of GI Joe and Transformers in one toy. My favourite toy was probably Outlaw.
Used to watch this as a little kid ^^ Got the series still ^^
