Don't suppose you have any plans to get Matt Trakker in anytime soon?

Cheers!

I just bought Matt Tracker the other week from the US and I'm a little disappointed with him! No idea what all that gubbins is on his back but the figure just seems sort of cluttered.

Oh dear :(

I sha'nt be spending a fortune on him then...

By backpack do you mean the Condor attachment-thingy? I was looking at it (online) and I can't see what the hell it's supposed to be, granted it'll be helicopter-related but...hmmmm.

Yeah. Without it he looks way too tall and skinny, and then when you put it on he looks, well, just weird. Thing is, he didn't even have Condor did he?

The figure has some sort of gimp outfit that goes between his legs and loops around his neck too. It all just seems too cluttered for me and doesn't work. Still, I loved MASK, so pleased I bought the figure. Just feel it could have been a lot better.

Yeah, I don't know why he just couldn't have had a red backpack/jetpack thing and it be a tip of the cap to Thunderhawk??

They should have done atleast two figures: Matt and Miles or maybe even six: 3 bad guys and 3 good...I guess Trakker was just a sort of testing of the water to see if people are up for more M.A.S.K.

What some of you may not know or remember is in the 80's Hasbro did do wind-up backpacks for GI Joe I have 2 of them Trakker's backpack is a sort of nod to those backpacks. I have the Anti-Aircraft gun and Earth Borer ones both of which still wind up nicely. They were far more cheap to buy than the vehicles and also a fun addition.
