Anyone remember what his Mask was called?? S__c__r

Matt Trakker's old mask? Ah crap, he had a few different ones, but the one he originally came with was called "Spectrum" & it had super vision or something?

This figure would translate into a decent modern era Laser Viper, or a Techno-Viper with some mods.

That figure would hurt to find one with a bad paint job on the eyes. I don't remember him ever looking that mad in the cartoon or his figure's sculpt either. Very cool though, looking forward to getting mine.

Didn't they announce this guy, or am I making it up? I think I'm wrong now that I think about it.

I can see a justified reuse of the helmet for TV if that's the case. Hasbro loves to reuse parts, and it would almost work for a Techno-Viper.

I like this figure, can't wait to get one. Hope to see more M.A.S.K. figures.

I like this fig a lot. He does look a little pissed though, come out with...ThunderHawk!

I despise this guy's inclusion in the Joe line, but if he's the only one from the M.A.S.K. universe, that sucks for the M.A.S.K. fans if you ask me.

Either do a M.A.S.K. revival line properly, or don't try and stuff the lame one-shot into another toyline which has nothing to do with it.

It was a completely wasted slot for the bazillion real Joes people still want, or even "new" Joes like Wraith or Parka Snake Eyes.

I am excited for this figure as I was a MASK fan and hoping this would mean a possible spin-off.

But I do agree with Rex on the point that if no plan whatsoever is in place to expand then it was just more of a cruel tease and I would of rather had a Zandar, Zarana, or one of the other figures we have not seen yet.

I do believe that he does blend in with the Joe theme on a better level than most other properties would though.

one thing as a kid was i always wished my koes could beat down the mask peeps and take their rides...now perhaps that may be possible? braing on boulder hill playset, the rhino and all the other great mask toys. I aint happy they decided to cross mask into gi joe but perhaps this may be a blessing indisguise? I mean how cool is it gonna be to have your Cobras stomping down mask (buncha wussies need masks to fight) then jackin their rides and going after the joes?

I already picture major bludd behind the snake oil truck grinning evil as duke sees his rteflection in the grill (just like the decepticon did in the frint of primes grill in the REAL TF movie) heh heh.

[goosetuber]

I know that this will pain many fans but his inclusion in the line is just as intrusive as the fridge roddy piper, yes, and even the beloved Sgt. Slaughter. He just happens to be the first one we have had to accept in the 25th line!

Thoughts anyone???
