Hi y'all,
so apparently The Loyal Subjects have gotten the M.A.S.K. license from Hasbro and are planning to release new toys in 2025. From what I gather these will be very much in the same spirit as the 80s line - same scale, with figures, same box art and so on.Â

Consider me pumped! I have no experience with TLS, although I hear that their past offerings were a little so-so. Still, finally more M.A.S.K.! Just when MOTU origins seems to be winding down (the vintagte branch, anyway) - so I have a new line to look forward to 😉
Meh. I'm a child of the 80's, but I never really "got" Mask...

Whaaat?! You do understand that you get a car that - at the press of a button!! - transforms into a jet?! 😀

No, I get it - I was never into GI Joe and that was as huge toy line. I think I also just really liked the MASK cartoon back in the day. The toys themselves were a little dodgy, and really prone to breaking. I suppose that's one reason why noone touched this line since then.Â
Anyway, I hope TLS does right be the fans and releases something that is a kind of "origins" MASK line, with improved stability and engineering while staying true to the designs.Â

@lasastard to me at the time (1985-ish?), Mask seemed like it was just trying to take elements from both G.I. Joe and Transformers and mash them together, but lacked the cool aspects that made both of those properties so awesome. I had no time for that. Also, the lack of fantastical designs of vehicles seemed really boring.
MASK was just about my all-time favorite from the 80's! Matt Trakker was something of a childhood hero to me. I'll be watching this, though my poor wallet...
I have a fondness for M.A.S.K., definitely. We didn’t have GI Joe in Germany, so MOTU, Transformers, and MASK were my favorites. (Having lived in the US for over 20 years now, I’m still not interested in the Joes).
I’m definitely curious about this relaunch, but I don’t have much space for another line… and it depends on the price!
I’ve been waiting for this forever! This is great news. Â
Awesome. Love, love, love M.A.S.K.
Hopefully they create imaginative new line phases for it too instead of just reissuing the classicsÂ
My sister collects the Loyal Subjects Rainbow Brite dolls, and it has been a nightmare getting them. They miss release dates, and there is no communication. If you are looking forward to collecting M.A.S.K., then prepare to be vigilant.
