M.A.S.K. - Venom's Revenge Adventure Pack (1986)

The newest addition to my M.A.S.K. collection, which I got earlier today, is Venom's Revenge, an Adventure Pack from 1986.

In 1986, Kenner released some figure packs with M.A.S.K. characters. The first were just the figures, all of which were from the 1st series of toys. That same year, Kenner also released some "Adventure Packs." Four of these were released in the USA and 4 others were only released in Europe. Each Adventrue Pack came with one figure with various accessories, like jetpacks, grappling hooks, guns, etc. The four adventure packs released in America were Jungle Challenge, Coast Patrol, Rescue Mission, and this one, Venom's Revenge.

Let's get to the thing itself. Venom's Revenge comes with Miles Mayhem and he is the only V.E.N.O.M. figure in these four adventure packs. Bruce Sato came in one and Matt Trakker in the other two.
Miles Mayhem and his accessories

The pack is described as a "Venom Offensive Adventure Pack." You get Mayhem, who is in an outfit similar to his Switchblade one, but tan instead of blue, with his Ripper mask, which "pretends to shred metal." It also comes with two gray cannons, and two smaller red rockets that can attach to the larger guns. The guns/rockets can also be attached to a backpack that can be turned into a jetpack. Venom's Revenge also comes with two black hoses which attach to the guns on the arms and the jetpack, though I don't have those on mine.
As can be seen, his backpack turns into a jetpack
when you press down on a part on the back of it.

Really all the reviews I've seen of this toy online say it's bad, but honestly I don't think so. Sure, it doesn't come with a vehicle or anything of that sort, but it's only supposed to be a figure with some accessories. And it's really pretty cool.
