What is PJ Masks?


'Jax is always ready to play with his dad, especially when it involves @PJMasks and the superheroes! Playtime over sleep is his motto! He is truly a hero our eyes.' - @thejamielynnshow ♥ #ad #ModernDayHeroes pic.twitter.com/vqoRK6SQag

— The PJ Masks (@PJMasks) January 26, 2021

First thing’s first! 

PJ Masks is a British-French animated superhero TV series targeted at pre-school aged children featuring three main characters; Catboy, Owlette and Gekko. It’s based on the Les Pyjamasques book series, written by French author Romuald Racioppo.

The show first aired in 2015 with a fifth series due to hit screens some time in April 2021. 

The show follows the adventures of Amaya, Greg and Connor who form the PJ Masks superhero team when night falls and they put on their magic pyjamas to become Owlette, Gekko and Catboy. The trio battle it out against their rivals Romeo, Luna Girl and more to stop them from ruining people’s daytime.

Owlette/Amaya

Amaya transforms into Owlette, wearing a red owl costume with red eyes. Her superpowers include super nighttime vision, flying with her caped wings, and a super strong gust of wind from her wings. In latter series, Amaya also has the ability to fire energy feathers at her enemies and create a shield with her feathers.

PJ Masks, Gekko, PJ Mask characters

Gekko/Greg

Greg transforms into Gekko, with a green lizard costume complete with fins on his head and a thick reptile tail trailing behind. Gekko’s superpowers include superstrength, camouflage,  climbing on walls and other surfaces, and running on water.

PJ Masks, Catboy, PJ Masks characters

Catboy/Connor

The final PJ Masks superhero is Connor who transforms into Catboy. Transforming into a blue cat costume, Catboy is the oldest and leader of the group. His superpowers include super hearing, speed and agility and jumping. In fact, he can run so fast that he creates lightning that can be used to make anything he touches faster.

PJ Robot

Originally created by PJ Masks’ rival, Romeo, to spy on the superhero team, PJ Robot defected to the team and manages PJ Masks’ headquarters. Shaped somewhat like an egg, PJ Robot bears a blue cat paw, green lizard tail and red wings symbol on his chest. 

PJ Masks, Romeo, PJ Masks characters

Romeo

Romeo is the show’s main antagonist. He’s a smart but mad scientist who uses his inventions to take over the world over night. Romeo is usually found in his flying factory above the city at night, dressed in his white lab coat and goggles, and accompanied by his robot assistants, Robot and Robette.

PJ Masks, Luna Girl, PJ Mask Characters

Luna Girl

Luna Girl is PJ Masks’ second biggest enemy. Whereas Romeo wants to dominate the world, Luna Girl wants all the fun daytime things for herself. She dresses in a black moon-themed cape and mask, and is always followed by Luna Moths and flies around the night sky on her Luna Board.

In HQ mode, it stands at a whopping 90cm tall with five levels of play including three drop-down ramps. It also has a kid-powered lift to take the heroes from floor-to-floor.

View on Amazon ▷

Editors Review

“More detailed design that the mini vehicles found in playsets.”

 

This simple, no nonsense set includes a 7.5cm Catboy figure and his signature Catcar. Standing at 3.7 inches tall, the Catcar is larger than most vehicles available to buy and is more realistic than its smaller counterparts. Each of the corresponding figures are designed to fit in the cockpit of each others’ vehicles. 

  • Age: 3+.

PROS

  • Roll Catboy into action in his signature Catcar to save the day again.
  • Great design and sturdy build.
  • All standard-sized PJ Masks hero figures can fit in the seat.
  • An 'Amazon's Choice' voted product.

CONS

  • Some lights or sounds would’ve been nice (but that would probably bump up the price!).
  • Doesn’t fit with most playsets.

View on Amazon ▷

Editors Review

“This is a nice, simple and detailed set.”


Just like the Catboy set, this is a really straightforward character and vehicle combo. It comes with a 7.5cm Owlette figure and her signature Owl Glider standing at 3.9 inches. 

  • Age: 3+.

PROS

  • Strap Owlette into the Owl Glider and send her soaring into action.
  • Depending on your outlook, the lack of features could encourage children to create their own sound effects.
  • An 'Amazon's Choice' voted product.

CONS

  • If you like lights and sounds and different gizmos, this will probably disappoint.


   15.   Gekko Vehicle & Figure

View on Amazon ▷

Editors Review

“Detailing and texture on both the figure and car are great!”


As you’ve probably guessed, this is Gekko’s nice and simple vehicle and figure set. It comes with a brilliantly textured 7.5cm Gekko figure and the Gekko Mobile is similarly well-detailed with its lizard scales and fins.

  • Age: 3+.

PROS

  • Jump into the Gekko-Mobile and wade through the swamp and foil the villains’ evil plot.
  • Good value for money, great detail and text.
  • An 'Amazon's Choice' voted product.

CONS

  • Like the others, really light on features.


   16.   PJ Masks Bath Toy Figures

View on Amazon ▷

Editors Review

“We all know that squirty bath toys are super fun!”



This set of PJ Masks squirting figures is a great addition to bath time. Standing a 5” tall, these larger-than-most figures are super realistic and detailed. Their size means more space for water, and the smaller hole means more time squirting before you need to fill up again. 

  • Age: 3+.

PROS

  • Large-scale for bath toys for extra water play.
  • Large size means plenty of squirting fun.
  • Brilliant detail and good quality.

CONS

  • Likely to get grimey like most squirty bath toys.


PJ Masks FAQs


Don’t worry, we get it. Entering a whole new cartoon/toy universe can be daunting. So we’ve put together a list of some handy FAQs:


What does PJ Masks stand for?

PJ Masks is a literal translation of “Les Pyjamasques”, the French book series the TV show is based on. It simply refers to the magic pyjamas the heroes put on to fight evil at night. 


How does the PJ Masks song go?

Are you sure you want to do this to yourself? It’s going to get stuck in your head aaaaall day...okay! Here’s a super cool homemade version a dad made...

The @PJMasks are here to save the day! 🎃 We're looking forward to Trick-or-Treating tomorrow! pic.twitter.com/NFgyuT8FxA

— Michael Fear (@MichaelEFear) October 30, 2020


How did PJ Masks get their powers?

The PJ Masks get their special powers from their magical pyjamas, but they only work at night. However, they also get some more special powers in Series 2, episode 8B (‘PJ Power Up’) thanks to a mysterious crystal statue.


What are the PJ Masks catchphrases?

All three PJ Masks shout ‘hooray, ‘cos in the night we saved the day!’.

Owlette: “Owlette to the rescue.”

Catboy: “Furballs”, “By my cat’s whiskers.”

Gekko: “Leaping Lizards”, “Gasping Gekkos.”


How old are the PJ Masks heroes?

All three members of the superhero team are six-year old, but Catboy/Connor is known to be the oldest. We don’t know how old the villains are, but they’re likely to be around the same age. 


Do the PJ Masks ever sleep?

There isn’t any evidence in the show that the team of heroes ever sleep. They’re awake and live normal lives in the day, but put on their magical pyjamas to fight the villains at night. The episodes could take place days apart and the trio all sleep soundly between battles, we just don’t see it. 


Who is the strongest PJ Masks character?

Gekko is the strongest one, thanks to his super strength powers.


Where can my little one watch PJ Masks?

PJ Masks is shown on UK TV on the Tiny Pop channel. The first two series are available on Netflix, while Disney+ has the first four. Amazon Prime Video leads the way, however, with all six series available to stream.
