Man I loved that show, I still have all my toys in a box in the basement. Occasionally on rainy day I still bust those out. Yes I know nerd… I have a bunch Condor, Switchblade, Thunderhawk,The RV, Hurricane-that 57 chevy, and a few others. The most prized one Rhino, manI remember when my grandfather got me that one. Damn I was happy.

I like the part of the movie where the dog put on the mask and bit the bad guy in the butt and also when Jim Carey said SMOKIN’. BTW, I failed the quiz.

79% – I got three wrong (and one of those was the Sonic Command one).

The cartoon wasn’t half bad (I had a crush on that Gloria chick – who never got made into a toy!). But, we were more into G.I. Joe and Transformers, though we did get a couple of hand-me-down MASK toys (Switchblade and Condor).

And, the G.I. Joe line paid tribute to M.A.S.K. by releasing a “Specialist Trakker” figure – Matt Trakker in his classic outfit! (I don’t have it – yet!)

Awesome quiz!! I had almost all those toys–including the highly-coveted Rhino–and LOVED M.A.S.K. growing up (that is, before Transformers whisked me away…)

Thanks for the trip down memory lane.

I only had a few but I loved that Condor. Luckily I had a buddy who had everything and he trusted me enough to let me play with them whenever I came over, so even though I didn’t HAVE them, he was only a couple houses away.

God, that makes me nostalgic. Not just for the toys, but getting to hang out with him.

I had so many of these toys, but not Rhino, I was so jealous when my friend got it for his birthday.

MASK was one of my all-time favorite shows growing up, so I’m a little disappointed that I got one wrong. But in my defense, the 4th series (as seen on Albert Panello’s website) wasn’t even on my radar. I didn’t know that any of that ever existed.

But going through his list, I’m proud (or maybe ashamed) to admit that I have every single vehicle (and the original box) in the first three series. Or at least I did. Jackhammer didn’t survive an episode of mischief/boredom…

But taking the quiz and browsing his website really brought back the memories of being a kid. My parents still have my entire collection (although there’s waaaay to much use to be of any value). I’ll just have to wait until Thanksgiving before I can pull them out again!

Oh man, MASK was the best. My two nephews have been playing with the crate of MASK toys in my parents’ attic, so I got them the entire series on DVD for their birthdays. MASK: the choice of a new generation.

Holy crap! I had most of those toys. I loved M.A.S.K. I had the Rhino, Condor, Thunderhawk and Pirhana and quite a few of the others.

There was another cartoon/toy series where the characters rode in little car things on ziplines. I can’t remember the name of it, but I think the lines were day-glo orange and green. My room would be booby trapped with the lines going all over the place.

Great quiz!

I haven’t seen MASK since 1986, but I got 50%. My friend’s little brother watched this show, and one day my friend and I got the bright idea that the show needed a little romance. We were in fourth grade and worked really hard to turn MASK into a dramatic soap opera. Fan fiction before the internet. Beautiful.
