There were five different lines of toys released: What differentiates MASK from some (American) toy lines is that every single item in the line was released in Europe. Although packaging was often altered for the European market to make the line seem less 'violent'. This usually involved revising artwork so that weapons were not shown firing. In a few cases, some toys also had their names changed. Additionally, Europe received 4 Adventure packs that were not released in North America, as well as several extra action figure two packs. These are distinguished from other two packs in that the figures contained are repaints.
In addition, a new figure based on MASK leader Matt Trakker was released as part of the GI Joe: A Real American Hero toyline in 2008.[2]

Matt "Hunter/ Cowboy" Trakker |
The leader of M.A.S.K. as well as a multi-millionaire philanthropist. He was one of the creators of the original M.A.S.K. team.
In the comics, the team was co-created by him along with his teenage brother Andy and Miles Mayhem. Mayhem double-crosses Matt and causes the death of Andy when he steals some of the masks for his newly established V.E.N.O.M. team. In the animated series, Andy is Matt's father who saved the life of a tribesman who tried to rescue him after his plane got caught in a terrible storm and crashed in New Guinea. For his bravery and kindness, the tribe gave him a stone which was eventually used to power all the masks.
In the 2008 G.I. Joe version ("Specialist Trakker"), he is a technology and stealth expert for the Joe team and V.E.N.O.M. is essentially Cobra Command's R&D branch. |
