MAKINA (3rd Party M.A.S.K.) by Ramen Toy

[EndoSickness]

Mornin' folks.

I dunno if any of you got it, but there is an actual revival of M.A.S.K., or at least partial (currently), coming, by a company called Ramen Toy.
These guys got attention through another line. They revisited Centurions, but also in 3P, called "80's commanders" and people already lost their ****.



Then they tackled Silverhawks, with Quicksilver being the first, which is now delivered to sellers, like us (The Collectors Bay):



Little bit of a full overview for you:

But, for the topic now, a few months back, they started teasing THIS:
a new line of M.A.S.K., called MAKINA and the first in that is going to be Shark (which never had a toy), with it's unofficial name of GREAT WHITE.



And after that they're also doing Thunderhawk, as RED GULLWING:

Also my buddy Den and me did videos on them.
He had a vlog segment about it:



And I had their "CEO" Ace on, just yesterday:

I'll be in for Matt Tracker and the Thunderhawk - I had it as a kid and it was pure 80s awesome.

 

[Cocoboloboy]

Awesome. I’d definitely be interested in a few like Thunderhawk, Hurricane and Manta. Trying to find the originals in decent shape is expensive.

I had mine a long time too, but the tires gave out, sadly. So I can't wait how this will turn out.

Yeah, will have to see is coming. In my interview he said that he probably won't remake the toys which are still awesome, like Rhino.
But time will tell.

I’d be more than happy if all I was able to get was a vintage looking, mint condition Thunderhawk to be honest. That was my favorite MASK vehicle as a kid.

Damn, more money being drained from my wallet.

I even want that 1:1 Mask prop.

Definitely game for this and will be following it! I have a pretty decent vintage MASK collection (most of the series 1 & 2 vehicles along with a complete Boulder Hill), but I really like that these look like nice upgrades. I also love that they're starting with Gloria / Shark which never got made. 71mm puts Gloria in scale with the other original figures but just slightly shorter (which makes sense).

I was always a truck person, cause I was riding with my dad ever since I was small. So to me Rhino is the best. Even above Optimus Prime.
That truck model's just everything!

Yeah, that's one of the first things he said. That the figures and cars will be in scale with the original. But he didn't rule out more stuff, if there are enough arguments to make more/different things. Maybe 1/12 drivers. Who knows...

 

[ridetofight]

Mind blown. This was/is still my favorite property from my youth, and the only cartoon that still holds up for me. All in 1000%. Love the mask upgrades. Wow! Hot dang!

Really really hope they do single figures for vehicles they're not planning on or co-pilots like alex sector, buddy hawks, bruce sato and ultra flash trakker.

Thanks for all the info on this you're providing.

Is there any sort of ETA on when we can expect to order/pre-order this?

 

[evenflow]

Too bad not 1/6, I would be down for the SilverHawks

Pilots/Co-pilots as single figures are actually in the discussion.

You're welcome, man. It's passion thing, dude. Vintage is just way too expensive so this is a cool way getting back in AND updated stuff.
PO is supposed to drop soon, with Thunderhawk having a current, rough ETA of pre-christmas THIS YEAR, cause they still got some kinks
to work out on fins of Shark, which come on the hood, y'know?

Sorry for you, dude.
But when I learned one thing from the current stuff they're doing and my chat with Ace:
never say never.

Excellent, I'm looking forward to at least getting Matt Tracker and Thunderhawk, and hopefully Miles Mayhem and Switchblade too.

 

[ridetofight]

Any indication of price range for thunderhawk? I'm guessing if quicksilver is $90, we're talking $150-$200?

Nice! I'm happy with my original vehicles, and may just pick up a set of the pilots/drivers to have the upgraded articulation aside from anything new that they do.

I gotta check which Venom vehicles he talked about, but I believe those were in the discussion.

Exactly that. Very realistic.

IIRC MASK vehicles are slightly bigger than 1/24 but figures around 1/24.

IT'S HERE!

 

[Eterniandreams]

Mine arrived yesterday, but I am on holiday.
Can't wait to get my hands on it!
