We’re taking it way back to 2008 (can you believe that was almost 10 years ago?) with this fantastic review of the G.I.Joe 25th Anniversary M.A.S.S. device by HissTank.com forum member Michael Mercy. As you’ll remember, tracking down the bits to make the device gave many a collector quite a bit of heartburn. That said though, collectors did their best hunt down all of the components and the M.A.S.S. device remains on shelves all across the fandom. Check out the review below then join us after the break to share your thoughts on this cool 25th Anniversary piece!

Nice review! I was very much into the comics as a child, but never watched the cartoon, so i didn't even know about the MASS device until i caught the Joe bug again and started collecting recently. Nevertheless, i might have to get myself one of these.

Great review! Very comprehensive and professional.
I love my MASS! While have been both impressed and disappointed with Hasbro's handling with the modern Joe line over the past ten years, when I saw this in 2008 I was very impressed and felt that, at the time, Hasbro was going to go great things with the line. This was sincere nod to vintage fans and I was so happy to complete it. I'm amazed to this day that it wasn't an exclusive rather available to retail (mostly).

Our pleasure! The quality of your work speaks for itself. I'm sure we'll be seeing you on the FP again.

So the Joes built a red MASS Device of their own? Then I'd be surprised if the club didn't do a con exclusive repaint souvenir version of that one someday. Given the crappy modern vehicles they usually repaint, this would be a modern item that fans would gobble up.
