| 3663 | Article | SockofFleagulls | @Vaporman I've wanted M.A.S.K. back for so long that I couldn't simply ignore the new comic for the changes. It kills me we haven't got more merchandise for us collectors like Funko figures or really anything! I'm adding these comic to my collection because there is literally nothing else to collect! Having said that, I've been entertained with the new book as much as my 1985 brain will allow. @NLogan It's crazy how we hope they will eventually get one of these reboots "right". I can say I've enjoyed a few but its really a rare occasion. @jaktz You really have to look at it with 2016 glasses to enjoy and so far I have. Some changes are interesting while others are head scratchers. I'm committed to giving Easton the first 5-issue story arc the benefit of the doubt before giving a blanket assessment. | Jan 04, 2017 |  | |
| 3667 | Article | Trigonis | This article raises an important topic: "...at what point does profit trump our nostalgia?" I don't know the answer either, but I think there are two sides here: The ones wearing the 1985 goggles (to borrow the author's terms) who are so sucked into the nostalgia of their youth that they are petrified with fear of change to set that aside and see the new M.A.S.K. for what it is. A good story (but that REVOLUTION storyline with the Joes and Transformers, that was utter trash, sorry to say –– best thing about it was M.A.S.K.) –– that aims to "neutralize" past aspects of the original and beloved '85 series, namely the premise of transforming vehicles with superpowered masks, which I think is sufficient for the nostalgia factor, with a more innovative and sharper edge that's much more relevant for today's audiences. I highly doubt IDW, Brandon, Tony, and Tommy are swimming Scrooge McDuck-style in gold coins with this series, so I don't think it's a question of profit trumping nostalgia, it's about us trumping our own nostalgia and enjoying a good story. And this is coming from someone who also has fond memories of sitting around with my M.A.S.K. toys as a kid at Christmas. But that was in 1985. The only reason I'm enjoying the new M.A.S.K. is because IDW and the creators are not trying to smack me with nostalgia in anything except the covers; instead, they've given us something completely new, and I for one appreciate them not messing with my childhood too much. | The Rebirth of M.A.S.K. and the Nostalgia Struggle | Jan 05, 2017 | |

| 3674 | Article | NLogan | I love me some metal lunchbox goodness. I have Universal Monsters, Return of the Jedi, Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom, He-Man and the Masters of the Universe, Dragon's Lair, and Peanuts. My brother has Secret of Nimh and a few others. There is an Imperial Mummy figure in the pictures with the Dick Tracy stuff. My antique stores around here never get cool stuff like that. | Antique Store Finds Part 1 | Jan 07, 2017 | |
| 3671 | Article | Vaporman87 | Another of my favorites that I'm glad has made the journey back to the site. So much about this I relate to. | Retro Recess Rowdiness | Jan 06, 2017 | |
| 3872 | Article | Vaporman87 | The Monster At The End of This Book was a favorite of mine as well. They reworked it for mobile devices and it's actually very cool. My kids loved it... for a time. | My favorite children's books growing up | May 02, 2017 | |
| 3875 | Article | Cyrogenic | Of the all the books on this list, I've remember reading Just Go to Bed, Miss Nelson is Missing, and If You Give a Mouse a Cookie. I loved reading If You Give a Mouse a Cookie the most. Miss Nelson's fake substitute teacher creeped me the most, LOL. | My favorite children's books growing up | May 03, 2017 | |
| 3878 | Article | Hoju Koolander | Ditto for me on The Monster at the End of This Book, between that and his Super Grover persona, it's no wonder the little blue guy was my favorite character on Sesame Street. I had totally forgotten about Caps For Sale, that was a great one. | My favorite children's books growing up | May 04, 2017 | |
| 4723 | Article | Dalek227 | I loved Little Critter! A few of my favorite childhood books were More Spaghetti I Say (about two monkeys, one wants to play but the other is too busy eating), Chicken Soup With Rice, those Sweet Pickles books also those Serendipity books. | My favorite children's books growing up | Dec 16, 2018 | |
| 5019 | Article | Rabbitearsblog | I loved reading Miss Nelson is Missing and Monster Mama! They were some of my all time favorite children's books growing up! | My favorite children's books growing up | Aug 18, 2019 | |
