JB0 Posted July 17, 2022 Posted July 17, 2022 I keep thinking something interesting has happened in this thread, and it keeps just being a single JPEG lifted from fecesbook. Quote
tekering Posted July 20, 2022 Posted July 20, 2022 Thunderhawk was such a ubiquitous toy, it can still be found on the secondary market -- mint and complete, I mean -- for less than what Ramen Toy is asking for "Red Gullwing." I'm not sure many collectors would consider it worth the upgrade, given how slavishly Ramen has stuck to the original toy design. 🤔 Quote

Agreed. Red Gullwing is also an accurate car shape. If I buy it I'd be happy with a brand new and updated toy. I usually don't collect anything preowned, used, or opened. Quote
obakesan Posted August 17, 2022 Posted August 17, 2022 so this is like an unlicensed repo right? Kenner was bought by Hasbro right so won't they just stop on this or they don't care. Heck why Hasbro doesn't do a run even limited or a haslab is bizarre. Quote

Hasbro hasn’t stopped these third party companies surprisingly enough and sometimes they end up partnering with some of them. I’ve seen quite a few third party toys and models from transformers and G.I. joe and other oddball toys and they’ve rarely been stopped. There’s even third party companies doing star wars and with all those big properties I kinda wonder if the strategy is to see how popular third party items are and then release the official item later since the demand is still there for the official one even when some third party items are better Quote
Stampeed Valkyrie Posted August 20, 2022 Posted August 20, 2022 While I think its pretty cool that someone is trying to resurrect a neat 80s toy line, I find the price point hard to swallow. Red Gullwing looks pretty cool, but a pre-order over $100? and normally $170? I don't see this line really going anywhere. Not trying to Poo-poo this, as I like the idea, but I'm out. Quote
sh9000 Posted August 31, 2022 Posted August 31, 2022 Preordered Red Gullwing. I think I'm sticking to just this one vehicle for the line. Quote
Tober Posted September 4, 2022 Posted September 4, 2022 Is it known how well the preorders are going? I'm actually far more interested in their version of Shark. Quote
sh9000 Posted September 4, 2022 Posted September 4, 2022 I'd only want an original Thunderhawk if it was MISB but it would be way more expensive than a Red Gullwing. Quote
sh9000 Posted September 10, 2022 Posted September 10, 2022 I'm going to be happy to own Red Gullwing. Quote
ScrambledValkyrie Posted September 16, 2022 Posted September 16, 2022 Having owned all the original MASK toys back in the day, it’s great to see this line get revived. I went back and watched the first episode again last night. Such a cool show, especially for its time. I think if there’s one piece to have, it’s Thunderhawk - the “hero valk” of MASK. And this new design looks fantastic. Quote
Tober Posted October 28, 2022 Posted October 28, 2022 I wonder how many people will lose interest after reading that the fins have to be attached. Quote

The first prototype they did, the fins looks like it comes out from the hood. Not sure what happened and why they changed it. Quote
sh9000 Posted October 29, 2022 Posted October 29, 2022 It might be just Red Gullwing for me for now. Quote
