| 3798 | Article | OldSchool80s | Remember him well as Billy Bear in 48 Hrs. and then of course from Predator. Had not known what had happened to him, so thanks for the update (although a little sad). | Washed Up Celebrities: Sonny Landham | Mar 23, 2017 | |
| 3596 | Article | vkimo | Now this is what I've been waiting for, a great sampling of retro toys! Those playsets always looked so bland without stickers or figures and I was always kind of bummed when no figures were included. These were a little before my time but I definitely had the hand me downs later on. Nice work again, your article formatting is getting cleaner by the minute! | The Mega Haul of Christmas 1986 | Dec 18, 2016 | |
| 3604 | Article | Hoju Koolander | The G.I. Joe/Dukes of Hazard crossover was an awesome image. That would have made a great episode of the cartoon. I love the wrestling recasting as well. Who was your Ric Flair? Construx were one of my favorite ways to build playsets for my action figures as well. | The Mega Haul of Christmas 1986 | Dec 19, 2016 | |
| 3605 | Article | SockofFleagulls | Another article with Snake Mountain Challenge!! How do I not remember this? Indeed, you did get a great haul that year. | The Mega Haul of Christmas 1986 | Dec 19, 2016 | |
| 3629 | Article | OldSchool80s | I did not receive any of these toys myself, but it was still fun remembering them! | The Mega Haul of Christmas 1986 | Dec 23, 2016 | |
| 3643 | Article | Vaporman87 | Before the disastrous server screw up with KnownHost, there was a forum thread in which I ranted about the new comic. I too am a big M.A.S.K. fan (probably my favorite toy line/cartoon of the past, second only to Masters of the Universe. I was anticipating a revival of everything familiar, only to see that a lot of things had been changed. I think the straw that broke the camel's back for me was changing Matt Trakker into an African-American. If the writers wanted to make the property more diverse, more power to them. But do it with a NEW character! Don't go making major changes to the old ones. Make your new leader a disciple of the original Matt Trakker, or a friend... or anything but the actual Matt Trakker! Understand that my sense of aversion to these types of changes are heightened because of the world we live in now, with it's precious snowflake infested safe spacer political correctness running amok. Not to mention I found this out around the same time I was finding out that Iron Man was now a young woman of color. What?! So yeah, the changes that were made to the characters and their stories/motivations were too great for me to overcome, and in my view totally unnecessary (kinda like an all female Ghostbusters movie). | The Rebirth of M.A.S.K. and the Nostalgia Struggle | Dec 31, 2016 | |
| 3644 | Article | NLogan | Somehow M.A.S.K. was one of the only properties in the 80s that I wasn't fully immersed in. The only possible explanation is that some other show that I was more interested in was on in the same time slot. I was aware of it and may have even watched a few episodes, but only dimly remember it. As for the toy line I had 1.5 pieces. I remember looking at the toys in the toy aisle but never purchased or asked for any. I had a Hocus Pocus yellow little man with a small mask that I found on the playground once. Because he was tiny compared with my He-Man, Star Wars, and GI*JOE figures he was rarely played with. As an adult I bought an Indiana Jones Lost Temple of Akator playset for my sons. Wanting, hoping for the new film to be as good as the originals and getting some Indy figures for my boys where I as a child missed out on the Kenner figures and had none. I am not sure how or where I became aware that it was in fact the Kenner M.A.S.K. Boulder Hill playset re-purposed by Hasbro who would also use it again for their Star Wars property as a Mustafar final battle playset on the lava world of the prequels. The thing that resonates, I suppose, with me about this article is the feeling of wanting, hoping. That while in the present they are strip mining our childhood cartoons and toy lines for current marketable properties, that they stay faithful, close to the originals. There is always a spark of nostalgia when I see something I am familiar with come up again, a feeling of dread when I know they will probably mess it up by not coming close to the originals, and the let down and disappointment of being proven right as beloved characters are drastically changed. | The Rebirth of M.A.S.K. and the Nostalgia Struggle | Dec 31, 2016 | |
| 3645 | Article | Rick Ace Rhodes | I've tried getting into M.A.S.K. since I was a fan of it's sequel Vor-Tech. But I just couldn't do it. It seemed just far too cheesy in some regards compared to other 80's cartoons. I never really got that feeling when I used to watch old episodes of things like the original Transformers series or GI Joe series on YouTube. It also seemed kind of bland in some regards. | The Rebirth of M.A.S.K. and the Nostalgia Struggle | Dec 31, 2016 | |
| 3646 | Article | jkatz | So, pointless diversity casting aside, how is the new comic? I think I have an issue or two of the original 80s series lying around somewhere...let's just say it wouldn't be very difficult to beat them. | The Rebirth of M.A.S.K. and the Nostalgia Struggle | Dec 31, 2016 | |
