#746 M.A.S.K. - Firefly Amongst Julio Lopez/ Streamer (1986)

In the minute series, M.A.S.K. issued 8 to a greater extent than vehicles, to a greater extent than or less the same number than inwards the starting fourth dimension wave, including novel types of vehicles, which were chosen in all probability for existence every bit unlike from the ones inwards the starting fourth dimension moving ridge every bit possible.

An together with thence nosotros got a dune buggy. This type of automobile was somehow pop inwards the 80s, amongst unopen to dirt races together with circuits inwards the USA together with other countries. I shout out back watching unopen to races on TV. I haven't seen them for years, wo I guess, they are non celebrated anymore. Buggys are today close forgotten, in all probability because of safety issues, since they seem to endure real unsafe cars.

Despite that, I beloved the Firefly, a Buggy that transforms into a jet. The buggy itself has every detail: from the side mirrors to the exhaust pipes, the front end spoiler, the not-round steering wheel... it looks awesome.

The jet is somehow to a greater extent than strange, exactly it nonetheless looks similar unopen to flying matter amongst huge turbines behind, long wings together with several little guns.

Behind the airplane pilot seat, in that place is a compartment that hosts a bomb. In flying modus, it tin endure dropped off past times pushing i lever on the transcend of the vehicle. Anything that is designed to endure dropped off gets lost easily, together with thence it was a nifty luck to notice i of these. Now I tin demo this vehicle 100% consummate (well, almost, i of the wing guns has a broken tip).

The figure that comes amongst the vehicle is Julio Lopez, a novel graphic symbol amongst hispanic roots. Most toylines, later the initial success tried to acquaint characters from ethnic minorities or other nationalities, together with M.A.S.K. is a ood example. This is a nifty jeopardy to teach into unusual markets, generally inwards Europe or South America.
