 NORTH AMERICAN HOME ENTERTAINMENT SHELVES FOR THE FIRST TIME!

IN STORES EVERYWHERE AUGUST 9, 2011 FROM SHOUT! FACTORY

This Summer, loyal fans and collectors can finally bring home one of the most enduring animated adventures from the 80’s when the long-awaited M.A.S.K.: TheComplete Original Series DVD box set debuts nationwide on August 9, 2011 from Shout! Factory, in collaboration with FremantleMedia Enterprises. Poised to attract an audience of kids, young adults and parents who grew up with this animated series, this 12-DVD box set contains all 65 action-packed episodes – known to fans as the original series aired in 1985, as well as insightful bonus features.  A must-have for collectors to complete their pop culture video library, M.A.S.K.:The Complete Original Series is available for pre-order now from Amazon.com and major retailers.

Led by multimillionaire Matt Trakker, the Mobile Armored Strike Kommand — better known simply as M.A.S.K. — defends the world against Miles Mayhem and his nefarious international criminal organization V.E.N.O.M., the very same group responsible for the death of Trakker’s teenage brother. With his own son, Scott, and a secret strike force including his friends — engineer Bruce Sato, courageous historian Hondo MacLean, mechanic Buddy Hawks, rocker Brad Turner, computer expert Alex Sector, stunt driver Dusty Hayes and beautiful martial artist Gloria Baker — it’s up to Trakker, equipped with special power-granting masks and a garage of special militarized vehicles, to keep the world safe from Mayhem and the villainy of V.E.N.O.M (Vicious Evil Network of Mayhem).

Throughout the years, M.A.S.K. boasts a large fan following and spawned a series of toyline, comic books and video games. The complete original series ofM.A.S.K. has been sub-licensed to home video distribution to Shout! Factory by FremantleMedia Enterprises.

My Take on the DVD
Watching this show brings me back as I used to be so excited to watch this and I remember even having some of the old M.A.S.K. action figures and cars that I would play with when I was young. I had actually forgot about the sho until I was asked to check out the complete series DVD set. In watching this show there were parts that really brought back some great old memories. I also look at these now and see that they held a great mix of plot and characters. 

I was happy to see that shout! factory is bringing back old shows like this as I am really looking forward to sharing these with my daughters so that they can get to know me and what I liked when I was a boy!
