Shout Factory has the rights to the first 65 episodes of the M.A.S.K. cartoon and will be releasing them on DVD. No idea when. I assume they’ll also be getting M.A.S.K. “Season 2” eventually, a.k.a. those weird 10 episodes with the racing theme, but whether they’d even be considered as part of a complete series boxset is unknown (for the record, Shout is calling the first 65 eps “The Original Series,” so that might be a clue). Anyways, good news.
Robert Bricken is one of the original co-founders of the site formerly known as Topless Robot, and its first editor-in-chief, serving from 2008-12. He brought the site to prominence with “nerd news, humor and self-loathing” as its motto, raising it from total internet obscurity to a readership in the millions, with help from his savage “FAQ” movie reviews and Fan Fiction Fridays. Under his tenure Topless Robot was covered by Gawker, Wired, Defamer, New York magazine, ABC News, and others, and his articles have been praised by Roger Ebert, Avengers actor Clark Gregg, comedian and The Daily Show correspondent John Hodgman, the stars of Mystery Science Theater 3000 and Rifftrax, and others. He is currently the managing editor of io9.com. Despite decades as both an amateur and professional nerd, he continues to be completely unprepared for either the zombie apocalypse or the robot uprising.
