Though to be fair, most toys of the time were no better! Generation 1 Transformers were the last to have die-cast metal, to my memory.Reggie Hemingwayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05333882821923138912noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8557726951171561616.post-41669023228766233332016-04-28T11:41:39.664-04:002016-04-28T11:41:39.664-04:00Ha! This was a really fun write-up!
I never perso...Ha! This was a really fun write-up!<br /><br />I never personally owned any M.A.S.K. figures, but I remember them being somewhat expensive and with lots of little parts you could easily lose. Unless I'm mistaken, weren't they also super-fragile? Like, if you pulled a part the wrong way they would snap off? Unlike those generation 1 Transformers - man, those were durable - my first Transformer was a die-cast (?) yellow Lamborghini Countach (Sunstreaker) that lasted for years.<br /><br />Those Rock Lords were pretty ridiculous (for all the reasons you outlined). I remember finding one next to a pile of rocks in a playground when I was younger. I imagine some kid was playing with his transformers, set his transformed Rock Lord near a pile of rocks, and forgot it was there. Masters of the Universe had at least 2 characters who transformed into rocks - those were prized possessions. <br /><br />DC in the 80shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09007375553276439273noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8557726951171561616.post-11439567144352458932016-04-17T11:49:56.005-04:002016-04-17T11:49:56.005-04:00I don't care what you say, Mask toys were fun ...I don't care what you say, Mask toys were fun to play with!
