My fondest memory of MASK was getting the toys. My Mom died when I was relatively young. But one time, she and I went on a vacation that sucked, so we blew off our plans, went to a Toys R Us (they didn't have any where I lived then) and she bought me all the Wave 1 vehicles. We had pizza sent to our hotel, and just stayed in and played with the MASK toys.

MASK was my all time favorite cartoon and toy line when I was a kid. So much, that when I was 11 years old I wrote KENNER and asked if I could be in one of their commercials, because they were cool to watch as well. In turn KENNER sent me a return letter and the Dynamo vehicle from the up and coming Split Seconds line which was unreleased at the time. I still have it today along with the rest of the collection

Having been 9 in 1985, I remember MASK quite fondly.

I grew up on Mask and I absolutely loved the cartoon and the toyline! I loved how each character was granted a different power based on the mask that they were wearing and that all of their vehicles transformed into an attack mode. This show rocked and I simply cannot wait for the live action film along with the Hasbro Cinematic Universe! Things are about to go down in a big cool 80’s way for the modern age!

Seems like whenever y'all do these, you're making fun of people's childhood. Grew up in the 80's loved those cartoons.

This video is hard to watch. I’m all for adding humor to these videos but this attempt at comedy is more annoying than funny. Sarcasm works in small doses, not for 15 minutes straight.

Toys like these hold such fond memories of a simpler time when my parents played with me. I miss my father greatly, he helped bring these toys to life for me as a kid.

HEY that theme song is priceless lol don't mess with it.

As an 80's kid I approve! Loved Miles Mayhem's jet/copter!

Wow, so shes not even going to mention gloria Baker. I realize that she wasn't in as many episodes and vanessa and, only has a cameo in the second season, but she did exist

Which 80's cartoon wasn't selling a toy line? Dose she know the channel she works for released SIX Sharknado movies?

@RyanAggabao

Transformers was copied from a Japanese toy line. In Japan Megatron was a good guy-he came from a toy line called Microman and Optimus came from a different toy line called Diaclone. And just like MASK the Transformers show was for the toy line. Why? To make money. If you don't sale toys the cartoon looses money and is cancelled. And what's wrong with making money on toys and cartoons? It gives people jobs-toy makers in Japan, transportation works all over the world, retail stores, etc. It creates JOBS and children love the cartoons and the toys-as did I. JOY AND JOBS that's a WIN WIN for everyone.

I got the rig for Christmas and for me it was that boy getting his Red Rider bb gun. I was so happy! One of the best childhood Christmases ever! ,

I shouldn't have regretted watching this.

All this video does is remind how awesome it was to be a kid in the 80's.

MASK was somewhat different. Team of secret agents driving transforming vehicles. Tracker is a a single parent after his wife’s passing. While his kid’s robot transforming scooter, was goofily ripped off in live-action Transformers 5. Yet the series was based on the toys. A live-action film is in the works.

Jackie Jennings does a decent enough job trying to act like she knows what she's talking about; but I agree with some of the other commenters, this comes off as condesending. Jackie is very good, but it seems pretty obvious she doesn't care. You can almost read the WTF on her face as she speaks her lines. I think the main reason the video is a bit snooty is that it's titled "Everything You Didn't Know" which by nature suggests that it's aimed at people who are already familiar with the property. However, we don't start talking about odd factoids until nearly 10 minutes into the fifteen minute video! What's left leaves a couple minutes for the voice of the show and about 3 minutes for the writers. Some mildly interesting stuff at the end but way too little and even that is only mildly related. Telling me "Hey, this thing existed!", making fun of it, and then relating to other things you may or may not heard of does not a good "Everything you didn't know" video make. Thumbs down.

Well talking about cartoons that nobody remembers, how about Visionaries: Knights of the magical light?!!

Thanks for the vid. Born in 1980, so I was one of the kids glued to watch this show and beg my parents for the toys. Now I'm browsing through ebay to relive my childhood.

Look, it was a cartoon in the 80s. I loved playing with the toys and the cartoons they were a part of my childhood. Still cant believe MASK hasnt been remade or turned into a movie.

I loved mask so much back in the day. I had a bunch of the toys and played with them all the time. Also why does everyone think they are deadpool. I'm so tired of the snarky schtick that people use all the time.

I think out of all the amazing toys of the 80’s, MASK has to be at the very top of the best of the best! What made MASK so great was that it combined elements of GIJoe, Transformers, And There is even a super hero flair thrown in to make it that much more awesome! The cartoon was fun but the toys are what made MASK so memorable! I couldn’t get enough of the toys growing up. If I were to start collecting toys again, MASK is where I would start because who doesn’t like vehicles that Transform into other vehicles!

80's action cartoons are the best! I loved M.A.S.K. very much. VERY curious about the film adaptation!

A "M.A.S.K." reboot could happen, we just need to make the updated version a bit more detailed and make the characters more 3 dimensional and thought out.

Oh my god, I thought I was the only one that remembered this show/toy line! I barely remember the TV show but I played with those toys all the time. I had the Matt Tracker car and lost one of the doors multiple times and the company actually sent me a replacement door. So they weren’t all bad haha. Please do one of these on Starcom!!!

I wanted the M.A.S.K toys the day they came out. But the only one I could ever get was the Brad Turner Condor figure and motorcycle. It was the only figure I could get. But it was cool! I wish I could have gotten more than I did.

Great cartoon ! Thanks for covering !

I had a bunch of the toys but I didn't watch the show to much because it came on in the morning when I was getting ready for school. I never got to see the end of the episodes because I had to catch the bus.

I still have a few of the figures but no vehicles. And wherever my grandparents’ old Jeep Cherokee is now I assume it still has my Bruce Sato stuck down in the heating vent.

My only memorys are only of the cartoon. My parents where tightwads and would never buy me toys that where intact. Always the broken stuff from the Salvation Army back than. It was my aunt and uncle or my grandparents on my fathers side who would buy me good toys for my Birthday and have them shipped to me. We lived in Kentucky but my Aunt and Uncle Conningham lived in Michigan hence the shipping on their part.

One of the best opening of the 80’s cartoons.

I officially love this channel now.

Yeah, my childhood was deprived because I had no clue that there were MASK toys.

As a kid in the 80s, i still remember this show today and still listen to the theme on youtube. I had the toys then but sadly not anymore. It was one of my favorite shows then even though i can barely remember an episode or all character names now. I still hope they do the live action movie though and make it damn awsome. The cast will be tough who will play them right. A big 👍🏻 to the series even if the voice acying was a bit cheesy and not best animation but would be cool to see updated animated series on Netflix with animation like Castlevania.

One of the best cartoons of 80s. Love it.

I loved the toys in this franchise. So innovative & stylish. ♥️🇵🇭👌

i love this show, please remake it, send the toys my way please

If I'm correct, M.A.S.K. was wrapped into the GI Joe lore as a division of the Joes with Matt Tracker being retconned as having been a former Joe member. VENOM was, if I remember correctly, backed, at least financially, by COBRA...

Circle K had glow in the dark MASK cups in the '80's. I had 30 of them. I never watched the show.:)

The toys was awesome, and one of the best themes ever

I want to know where you got all those MASK items for only $50. Since I cant find one of Matt Trakers vehicle for less than that by itself.

MASK is my childhood I was a big fan and I got out of bed tomorrow to watch TV. I still have a lot of toys and I have played a lot with it.

I remember watching. They are now owned by Hasbro and are part of their shared IDW universe.

BADD GUYS DONT WASTE PIZZA DOUGH!

Anyone remember "The Mighty Orbots" ?

I enjoyed everything about M.A.S.K.; especially the toys.

I have fond memories of MASK. Even though I was in my teens when the cartoons and toys came out. But, what can I say? My love of animated action cartoons and toylines never left me. I enjoyed watching the MASK shows. But the only toy I ever got was Thunderhawk and Matt Tracker. Other than that, I remember getting the small figures of Buddy Hawks and Alex Sectors? (I'll have to watch the show to get their names right) on small cards because they came with a playset that I know my mom wouldn't have let me buy. That's as far as my desire to collect them goes for one reason. Whenever there is a cartoon series designed to sell toys, I have never understood why there would always be at least one of two characters that the manufacturers choose not to make. In the racing toys part of MASK, they finally made Vanessa Warfield and her car Manta. BUT they NEVER made Gloria Baker and her Shark vehicle. If they had, I would have been trying to collect all the toys. So they lost money from me being a customer because they didn't make the whole set. Another example is G.I.JOE. Hasbro made all the figures who appeared in the cartoon except Big Lob in G.I.JOE The Movie. Big Lob was eventually made into a figure YEARS later. But too late for my interests. One final note, Matt Tracker definitely reminded me of a blonde haired version of Bruce Wayne in the latter episodes of Batman: The Animated Series. And Miles Mayhem reminded me of General Ross on the Hulk comics and cartoons. Best of all, I loved the MASK theme song. Definitely a sign of the rock n roll 80's.

This flying car cartoon series... How nostalgic
