Collectors Dilemma: M.A.S.K Condor

Here we have Condor from Series 1. Take note that there are 2 different versions of Condor, 1 featuring a short mask and the other featuring a long mask. The version shown here is the one with the long mask. To my knowledge, the vehicles available in Series 1 had a short mask run and a long mask run. The short mask was the earlier version of M.A.S.K toys and were pretty much cartoon accurate to the technology available of that time but were pretty hazardous as a choke hazard since they were pretty small and easily swallowed and were thus, discontinued in favour of the long mask variant which is pretty much the dominant version found nowadays.

In it's vehicle mode, Condor is a green motorcycle with a retractable bike stand and black detailing. The canopy is made of a opaque grey plastic and can be removed from the bike via pushing from the front of the canopy towards the passenger seat.

In it's attack mode, Condor turns into a 1 man helicopter. To effect the transformation, you first have to bring up the rear black side railings and then pluck out the rotor blades from the sides to form the main rotor blades. In doing so, the bottom part rotates out to form the helicopter stands with the retractable bike stand becoming part of it. The front light also becomes a laser gun which rises automatically when pulling the side railings up. Finally, one has to pull out the rear wheel to form the tail rotor.

The pilot for Condor is Brad Turner. His colour scheme is mainly yellow with black and reddish purple detailling and a pair of moulded black shades instead of eyes. His mask, Hocus Pocus, has the power of creating realistic holographic images. The mask is mainly yellow with black visor and details which complements the figure giving it a uniform look.
