Toys! Toys! Toys!

August 21st, 2011

The update for today is part of our core purpose here at boulder-hill.net, and that is to photograph and display M.A.S.K. toys. An additional feature of this post is that all of the toys added today include their packages!

T-Bob_Comic

As our readers may have guessed from the comic panel above, one of the toys we are able to present today is a packaged T-Bob with Scott Trakker. This is the North American release which came on a blister card. Our second addition is from the second series of toys released in the M.A.S.K. line, Stinger. Stinger was driven by Bruno ‘Mad Dog’ Sheppard who is already on display in the Figures area. Our third, and final toy, is from the third series. Wildcat is a red pickup, controlled by Buddie Hawks from the Racing Series. All three of these can be seen over in our Toys section.

Here we go!

Package

As any of our readers can guess, that photo above is a picture of our newly arrived Shout! Factory DVD set. That’s right, at long last, the United States has received an official DVD release of M.A.S.K. We’re going to give you a rundown of the highlights, so strap yourself in as we take you on a tour of this awesome new release. We will also compare it against the set previously released in Australia by Madman Entertainment.

Box_FrontNothing to compare from the outset. The American release from Shout! has a nice slipcase, something the Madman set lacks. This case features beautiful art and high quality printing. As you can see it showcases both Matt Trakker and Miles Mayhem standing between the M.A.S.K. logo with three of the main vehicles in action poses.

Slingshot

August 8th, 2011

vlcsnap-2011-08-08-14h21m55s37Late in the series M.A.S.K. was still introducing new characters and vehicles. Some of them were instant favorites, some were a little less exciting to a young boy. Slingshot was the latter. While the inside had lots of great features, the outside is a van. Understandably, things like a red sports car and a green motorcycle were a more popular but Slingshot is still worth noting. First appearing in episode forty-eight, Quest of the Canyon, piloted by Ace Riker.

To find the images of Slingshot, click over to our Toy section. We have seven different photos to give you a full look at M.A.S.K.’s CRUISIN van.

We would also like to remind everyone that the new U.S. DVD release of M.A.S.K. is coming out tomorrow, August 9th. Show your support for this 80s classic and pick up a set if you can.
