Is this character destined to never get good toys?

>Hasbro movie line was all gimmicky stuff with no basic figure, the closest of the bunch still having a head swapping gimmick
>Toy Island cartoon line is still gimmicky, focusing on one-off random appearances such as the Rambo parody instead of just a standard yellow suit figure, no villains or other characters, odd concept figures like the movie parody parts swapping line
>Asmus Toys makes 1:6 scale figure, which is mostly good but still a bit off, but it's also unlicensed and long out of production so you will never find one.

Asmus confirmed they tried to get the official license when they entered their LOTR deal with New Line, but they had to go back to Dark Horse, and it seems no one even knows who actually currently holds the action figure rights anymore so no one new can get the license.

And if you like the original violent pre-movie comics, enjoy your unpainted resin model kit and nothing else.

This is probably the best option available for a basic Mask, if you can live with the cartoon appearance. Even the gimmick for the most part works well and still leaves a basic look, only

>8" tall so won't scale to a typical collection
>rare as all hell, you will be lucky to find one these days

is the Mask an indie-series? I feel like if Shocker Toys was competent, we wouldve got one

Dark Horse technically owns the character, but New Line probably has a major hand in the more popular movie/cartoon version.

If what Asmus said is true, no one can get the license because of some severe legal hang-ups. But it's a shame that the toys that were made were so underwhelming- even worse because the Toy Island figures were generally good, but wasted on gimmicky outfits.

Although the big figure at least scales to Shocker's Maxx properly. Why did this crossover never happen officially back in the day?

At least we got the Lobo crossover. That was fun.
