So... anyone shelling out over 100 quid for the Ramen Toys Makina Gullwing (MASK Thunderhawk)? I was so excited about getting a new version of the MASK toys until I saw that price point. I understand they're a small toy company, and can't mass produce, but man... it just makes me wish Hasbro would restart the line, so we can get the vehicles at a more affordable price.

Cannot find much info on it.
Is it 2.5" scale or 4" scale? It is a preorder that is not even in production. When will it be available? $170 USD is alot of money, but I cannot make a final decision on getting one without more information on it.

Yeah, for the life of me, I can't find any information on the scale, but it APPEARS to be the same scale as the original toys. The box has the dimensions of the vehicle on it, if you can extrapolate the scale size from those numbers.

No. Id rather get a complete original for that price since it's the same scale.

Found this info online:
July 31, 2022: Red Gullwing Reveal Ramen Toy revealed their digital render of what they are calling the Red Gullwing from their new Makina line, which pays homage to the M.A.S.K. (Mobile Armored Strike Kommand) vehicle and figure modeled after the Thunderhawk and Matt Trakker figure! Makina (translated ‘Machine’ in a few different languages is the first in what we hope is a revival of the line that Kenner (now Hasbro) touched our lives with in 1985. As stated in the image, the vehicle will be in original scale, which is great because these were smaller form factor toys that take up less shelf space to display. No further details are available at this time but this is exciting news for fans of the series who have been clamoring for Hasbro to reissue the M.A.S.K. line. The Red Gullwing features the same design as the original Thunderhawk plus an “Action Figure & Power Helmet,” which we all know is code for Matt Trakker with his iconic Spectrum mask! Looking at the digital render, the mask is modeled after the first production run, often referred to as “short” mask or helmet, which is great as adult collectors like us are not in the business of swallowing toys. It transformers into a gull-winged jet fighter (hence the name) and we are so happy to see this digital render come to fruition as Ramen Toy has been teases the MAKINA line for quite some time. Also they have early bird special for $117: https://ramentoy.com/products/item-mkn01

Yeah that's still way too rich for my blood. I don't think that car is worth 4 Classified figures.

Currently undecided. I have my original MASK toys, and I'm not sure I have the space for a new vehicle line even at the original scale.

If Hasbro ever resurrects this line, I'll probably collect it, because it's bound to cheaper than Ramen Toys. Hell, I would definitely collect it if it were cheaper than ramen noodles.

The Star Wars Fleet Missions line is a good example of the quality we might could expect from a Hasbro MASK line. With 1/18 GI Joe in hiatus the chief argument against a MASK line is gone.

I do like that there's added articulation, just wish they'd also do up a 1:18 version for modern cross collectibility.
