When I was a kid in NJ M.A.S.K by Kenner was a very popular toy line. I moved to FL in the mid 90s and never really met anyone who was into them and not even familiar with them.

I did. I had a few of them, but never got the playset.

I had a decent amount of them as hand-me-downs from my older cousin. I had the Condor, Thunderhawk and then the Outlaw semi truck. Buddie Hawks and Brad Turner were my favorites of the figures. I remember getting a couple of the figure packs at discount stores too. I definitely got the Matt Trakker and Hondo pack that way. I have Sato and a duplicate Turner, and I'm pretty sure I got those two the same way. I've lost a few of the figures over the years but most of it is still at my parents house. I was able to find the vehicles and like 8-10 of the figures when I went home last year for Thanksgiving. There has been a MASK thread before. I know a few guys on here had them and/or collected them. JokerFC was a pretty big MASK guy if I remember correctly. |

Yup absolutely adore M. A. S. K.
In 2006 I decided I was gonna go back and get everything I wanted from the original line. I succeeded in, a big way because a guy in England was shifting his collection with seemingly no interest.
Got everything I wanted except for one or 2 items.... I'll take pics this weekend for you guys. Love Trakker and the gang. The comics were great too.
When I was a kid I had a hefty collection too... must've reenacted the story where Myles Mayhem Disables all their vehicles and Trakker and Co make a hell of a stand in Boulder Hill with just there masks and its defences against all Venoms guys...... EPIC. Think it was the climactic battle of the comics.

YES, I CERTAINLY DID!!!
I had the Firefly, the Condor, the Gator, The Thunderhawk, the Piranha, the Stinger, the Hurricane and the Buzzard!! My favorite was the Firefly.
I always wanted the Jackhammer and Rhino, but never got 'em as gift or saved up enough to pick 'em up.

That's great to hear there are still some fans out there. I had my collection stored for about 20 years and around April of last year I got into this whole retro toy kick and been pulling out the old mask, transformers, gi joes, masters of the universe, and all the old wrestling toys from hasbro toybiz osftm etc. Still got all the mask cars, figures, masks, accessories, missiles in great shape I took such care of them when I was a kid. I'm 4 vehicles short of a complete collection and they are the most expensive ones from the split seconds series. But sadly in the move I lost most if not all parts from the boulder hill playset. Been checking them on Ebay they are so expensive and whenever I have a good deal going on an auction I get sniped at the last second lol.

I had one or two. Liked the concept but much rather wanted to play with Star Wars, Joes, Transformers, He-Man, or AWA Remco.

The guys being so small made it perfect 👌 MOTU characters joining the AWA was only the toy crossover I recall doing. Maybe a Gobot or dollar store transforming robot would join the Decepticon vs Autobot war. |

An Deception invasion of Boulder Hill because Trakker was sheltering an injured bot (usually action Master Wheel jack?) was commonplace 😊 |

I thought I was the only one mixing it up with the transformers. I used to make Miles Mayhem and the venom team the decepticons human connection lol. And Matt Trakker was the funding behind the Autobots for upgrades and repairs lol |

Tried throwing in gi Joe's but I was picky about the scale of the figures and didn't do much.

And Matt Trakker was the funding behind the Autobots for upgrades and repairs lol I had one particular battle I remember really really well...(went on for days) MASK were sheltering AM Blaster.....They contacted the Autobots and they were enroute but would be a while but the cons would be there first.....Boulder Hill would have to withstand an awful onslaught. Trakker had Maximus Mayhem in their holding cell..They called Venom and explained these robotic creatures wouldn't care who they killed...so it was MASK & Venom vs The Decepticons led by Overlord(most of venom were wiped out) and Bruce Sato drove the Rhino into Overlord sacrificing himself in the process... things would never be the same....LOL I was just upstairs looking at my MASK collection.....still one or 2 things needed/desired. Gloria Baker and the Stiletto for one. |

Gloria Baker and the Stiletto for one. Wow awesome battle I seriously played it out in my head right now! Stiletto is one of the ones I'm missing too it is ridiculously expensive. Honestly if I had to choose I would be happy just getting the Gloria Baker just to at least have all the characters. So weird they never made her from the beginning. I know about the license issues cause at first she had a Porsche but at worst they could have thrown her in with Dusty Hayes and Gator since she drove it alot on the show and was mostly hanging with Dusty or Trakker. |

I had a Gloria Baker figure when I was a kid....but NEVER the Stiletto. Yeah its a hard one to get....has been for years. I would settle for her figure too.... Yeah it was a great battle!! |

I loved mask and I had most of the figures and their vehicles but not all. In fact, I still have them all in tubs I pulled out from my moms attic when I stored them probably just before high school. Unfortunately my moms attic isn’t climate controlled so after I got them I realized all the decals were peeling off or had already fallen off. Same with my Star Wars and gijoes. The gijoes are all in halves because the rubber band inside became so brittle and broke  I sold a lot of my Star Wars and gijoe vehicles at yard sales long ago so I could buy video games but I never sold any of the figures. My mask collection is the biggest now because I never could part with the vehicles. I was getting them out recently to show my son but they just seem like they are ready to break and it worried me so I repacked them all again. My brother and I used to watch the hell out of that tv show. Now this makes me want to find the old episodes so my son can watch it |

Now this makes me want to find the old episodes so my son can watch it Theres nothing more heartbreaking than a tub of gi Joe's cut in half. I experienced that last year when I pulled out the old toys they must have been put away around 1994 I didn't have 1 survivor. As far as the show goes they have it on Amazon on dvd season 1 only though but it was enough to get those memories going. What a cool cartoon that was. |

I loved the toys, but only had a few Thunderhawk Condor Gator Piranha Bullet? I lost everything and the only thing I still have is Matt Trakker without his helmet and the 2009 GI Joe remake |

Matt Trakker became a member of the GI Joe team when they did the 25th anniversary line. Hasbro is supposed to be mixing their properties together mixing Mask, Transformers and GI Joe together to have 1 big universe.
