By rights she should have been in the first or second wave of toys with her Shark vehicle and instead she wasn't made until around the 4th assortment and packaged in the poorly designed Split Seconds series. <br /><br />On top of this DIC had sabotaged the cartoon when for no real reason they changed the entire dynamic of the series. It went from a team of specialists fighting against a terrorist group to everyone competing against one another in cross country races for prizes and everyone suddenly knew each other's secret identities so it ruined half the reason they wore the damn helmets/masks. It would be like if G.I Joe was suddenly turned into Hanna Barbera's Wacky Races. Btw the racing series cartoon lasted 8 episodes and was cancelled. <br /><br />So yeah Gloria never properly got her due as a figure nor did the Shark vehicle ever get made despite what some online con artists are trying to sell fans as "lost or limited production prototypes". Any Shark vehicle you find online are kit-bashed models. <br /><br />It's also a shame the IDW comics revival of the series was such an SJW fueled mess so the chances of seeing a proper MASK revival and a decent official Gloria Baker toy are slim to none.Mikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16268562230546364575noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2946432195706443.post-15143929105999139172014-02-04T11:06:42.523-05:002014-02-04T11:06:42.523-05:00I would watch it occasionally, but I wasn't ob...I would watch it occasionally, but I wasn't obsessed. My older brother got the green motorcycle/helicopter thing with the yellow pilot for his birthday one year and I was really jealous. Then we would all get occasional figure packs etc over the year. That's impressive that you had a Vanessa, I didn't know the toy of her existed until I was an adult.ShesFantastichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12933595350944635451noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2946432195706443.post-87183118236055278602014-02-04T05:37:43.153-05:002014-02-04T05:37:43.153-05:00I didn't watch MASK back in the 80's, but ...I didn't watch MASK back in the 80's, but I had figures of Vanessa and a dark-skinned guy in an orange suit. I used them as substitute Dino Riders figures.RokuroCarisuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08280201440533732323noreply@blogger.com
