This week we look at a toy line that seems to always get forgotten, Seriously I get so many emails about Matchbox's Mobile Action Command (MAC) and it's wonderful array of fun toys, we even look at the knock offs it inspired.

What a great toy line--I was unfamiliar with it. I can see how it could become addictive.

I loved the MAC line! Lots of fun.

I never knew of this line until your discussions of it here. Were these 3 3/4" scale? If I've ever seen one in the wild, I don't remember it.

the figures are about two inches tall, Kenner kind of aped the line with M.A.S.K adding in some Transformers action.

^Oh wow, I had no idea. I love me some M.A.S.K.!

Were there rack-toy versions of these, or was Action Jack ever imported? Deja vu today...

I really like this action packaging-

[palitoy]

Great video. Thanks for spotlighting these.

I was one of those people who loved these but didn't remember the name of the line... somewhere on the Museum archives is my post asking what it was. I think I posted another asking about Zee Toys Metal Man, so I'm like a cliche...

Figures give me a bit of a Fisher Price Adventure People vibe.
