The M.A.D. Mobile toy (as well as this first-generation toy of the Gadget Mobile) was produced for the French market. It was also released in Australia, but never in the United States.
Wow Jody What a thorough and enjoyable review Your techniques and animation are stunning and they really work in the format of your show. We never really got much inspector Gadget toys in the UK I only remember seeing it once in a toy shop. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
Thanx Tez! Still tinkering with the format, but tbh pretty happy with this one. These Popy Bandai stuff seems to only have been released in a limited set of countries, and seem never to have made it to US, UK or NL ... :(
I loved this show as a kid. But never saw these tots in Australia. The Gadget mobile is great and has so much play value.... wish I could find one of these. Maybe an object of desire for 2021....
I only found out about these a couple of years back myself. Hope this vid helps to identify if you find em if they are in good shape and complete. Happy toy hunting!
Blitzway have recently started releasing new Inspector Gadget action figures and they are pretty awesome. So far it's Gadget, Penny + Brain and Chief Quimby. The Gadget figure is incredible, best ever made. Hopefully they keep going so we can get new Dr Claw as well as possibly new Gadget/MAD Mobiles. Fingers crossed.
@@GenXToysGeek I do feel that Gadget is the only one that NEEDS to be articulated but yeah it is a bit of a niggle. At least they all have replaceable parts/accessories.
I wasn't aware of these until a few years back when spotting the M.A.D. Mobile on a fellow collectors FB images. There's another transforming Gadget Mobile from Tiger toys. But these are to me so much better.
I've never seen these, very interesting. I assume they were not sold in the US, or in very limited quantities? Did Matt Tracker get his ideas from Inspector Gadget? 😎
Yeah I never saw them in NL either... A lot of the Popy Bandai stuff I find online, seem to originate from France. All the boxed versions I see of these are in French.
@@GenXToysGeek they did release them in the the us by galoob but only in limited quantities along with the 12 inch gadget doll and the catalliac cats jalopy in the us.

I never knew there was a toy version of the MAD Mobile! I had to make mine. I loved the concept of a car-sub-jet vehicle. Very nice video.
Thanx for yer compliments. I saw it on someone's collection photo, asked about it, and went down the rabbit hole :p

Wow! This is the best coverage I've seen on this topic! Thank you! I would've loved to have had these as a kid!
thank you for your kind words! I bet most of us would have loved these as a kid :) I know I would have!

Great job! I always thought the Gadget mobile looked like a 1982 Toyota supra myself, but interesting DMC comparison.
thank you
That's a cool and interesting review. The toys are nice and interesting.
Thank you 🤗
@@GenXToysGeek you're welcome.
I didn't even know these existed! What!?! Thanks for the review! 😁
I only got aware of these myself after seeing the M.A.D. Mobile in a fellow collectors photos. And had a hard time hunting them down...
Great video 👍 Go Go GenXToysGeek
thanx my friend
Nicely done Jody, always look forward to these vids
Thanx!
That's so cool. Loved this series and the car in my childhood
Glad you enjoyed!
Great video / review, Jody.
I didn't even know these toys existed, until you were kind enough to share your knowledge about them, with us.
found em myself by accident while watching someone else's collection photos on FB a couple of years ago.

Thank you, just found them, they look amazing! A bit pricey, but amazing!
A bit a shame, Gadget is the only articulated one. But they do look great!

Great video! A childhood friend had a Insp. Gadget figure, but it was only recently I found out the vehicles existed. Really detailed look - thanks!

Awesome video Jody👍
Thank you!
They must have reissued the Popy Gadget Mobile because I remember seeing it in stores in the 90's. I wasn't able to get one though.
Not aware of any re-issues myself
Awesome job Jody, nice to see this video come together! 😎👍🏼
Thanx mate :) Trying some enhancements to the format.

the us versions are very rare.
@@danielferstendig Did they release these in the US? Unfortunately any versions of these are rare and hard to find..
@@GenXToysGeek they did release them in the the us by galoob but only in limited quantities along with the 12 inch gadget doll and the catalliac cats jalopy in the us.
Kind of with these would come in a smaller version of the Hot Wheels style.
Those things are rare.
very rare, and very expensive. but they are amazing!
I truly did not know these existed till now
Now you know, and knowing is half the battle
I didnt know it had toys!
indeed there are. There's also a Gadget Mobile from Tiger Toys
do the laser guns pop up
you mean on the Gadget Mobile? there are indeed two popup things on the hood if that is what you mean. Are these laser guns?
@@GenXToysGeek yes they are laser guns
@@danielferstendig in that case, yes they pop in and out
