The Loyal Subjects M.A.S.K.
Mobile Defense Unit (MDU)
Honest Review
Oh boy, I was really afraid of opening the MDU. The Internet really pulled this one to pieces so I got a bad feeling. The good news? Most of the Issues are easily fixed... but there are many of them...
The Good:
-Extraordinary piece, easily the most recognizable vehicle besides the Thunderhawk, lovely crafted in shiny plastic
-beautiful chrome parts
-huge playability, two figures, lots of accessoires
-again beautiful packaging with this special vintage feeling
The Bad:
-loose smokestacks (easy fix)
-Stickers too long (exactly one sticker)
-Front Grill doesn't line up 100% (this is a hard one to fix)
-Caboose Ramp doesn't close 100% (easy fix)
-ATV is loose and hanging when picked up (I would not call that an issue actually)
-Passenger Door loose (I would assume it's because of the ejector seat)
-The Calble Winch for the ATV is an absolute Joke and is not working
-the pegs on the side steps are to small to fit the figures (this is actually pretty hillarious, that was one feature they mentioned over and over)
More in each picture
The Verdict:
The MDU comes with a hefty price tag and it's somewhat inacceptable to ship this item out to customers with that many quality issues. Most of the problems are easy fixed without taking the whole thing appart, others are harder to repair and some are just plain defect and need a replacement part. But again with this one, it steals the show on every display.
If you are able to do some minor fixes which includes nail polish and a scalpel blade you will get a beatiful toy that lives up to it's legend. If you are not I would skip this one entirely and wait for a proper re-run if they ever do one.
Your choice.
