Random historic Camaro Toy (circa 1985) from M.A.S.K.

First of all, if this is in the wrong place please feel free to move it. But I think this probably counts as Camaro history.

Never seen the show, but I found an interesting Camaro cameo in an old cartoon series/toy line called M.A.S.K. (aired from 1985-1986). The toy and box photos are here: http://www.albertpenello.com/mask/thunderhawk.html

Looks incredibly cheesy, but it's still cool to see a Camaro as part of a Saturday morning cartoon toy line. Did anyone ever watch this or own one of the toys?

I had the bike.
Looks like there is a firebird version too.

yep, I remember that. Matt Tracker and his Camaro. I had either that toy or a very similar one (here in the UK). Show also had a kid with a robot that could turn into a scooter or something.

Cool to know some folks had the toys. I was born in '86 so I probably missed the show and the toys (or was too young to remember 'em).

Now I'm halfway tempted to watch a few episodes of the show. I'll bet something can be found on YouTube...

I had that when I was a kid. Still have bits and pieces of it somewhere. Still have several others from that line, wish I had kept them more complete. Sealed ones are going for ridiculous prices these days.
