INSPECTOR GADGET COLLECTION

[Tetsuwan Convoy]

One of my mates had the MAD car, man I thought it was so cool and the way it changed into jet mode was awesome.

Never seen the Gadgetmobile in the fles though.

I second calls to see how it changes between modes!!

OMG you have both the cars

I remember haveing them as a kid, they bring back so many memories! and they are impossible to find now. Can you post up some pics of how the police car changes into the van?

thanks rampagesss,i consider myself VERY lucky to still have both cars! i will try and put some pics up of the car changing to the gadget mobile shortly! these toys also bring back many memories for me! glad you like them!

Nice Inspector Gadget collection you got there

I remember in the 1980/1990's that Kmart used to sell an Inspector Gadget doll that was about 30-40cms high?

thanks Mr Ed,
i remember that inspector gadget doll you mention..it is awesome and has some cool features! kind of a masterpiece inspector gadget!?!

Indeed, an awesome collection there TJ.

I too once owned the Mad Mobile and I loved that toy, I also used to have the doll that you describe Ed as he was about 30cms tall with extendible/spring loaded legs, Mechanek-esque extendible neck, I think the arms used to extend also with firing fists and a hat that one could plug in either his third hand which held a huge Mallet or an Umbrella or you could plug in his Gadget-Copter!

These were really well made toys for their day and had a lot of playability.

thanks hursticon,glad you like the collection! the mad mobile is my fav(triple changer?!)
thanks for mentioning all the features of that inspector gadget doll,that helped jog my memory! such a cool figure..it would be hard to get now with all those features working/present!
i agree that these were well made toys(die-cast & plastic)for their day and had a lot of playability(features)

Totally cool, I was only ever lucky enough to get the MAD Car but I still have it at my parents place. I should check it out next time I'm at home to see if it still all works. we could combine our mad car collections to make a fleet!

thanks UltraMarginal,
ha,ha..calling mad fleet members!
yes you should check out your parents place(good storage )
let us know if yours still works,it is an awesome toy! best of luck!

I had an older version of his car but I sold it for alot of $$$ last year. Same mould as your one

That old 30cm Gadget was so so cool. I had a friend who had one.

hello vert,
...yes an older different version would sell for many $$$! you say the mold is the same,what is different(paint/stickers/other?)it would be interesting info!
i agree the doll is cool and didn't get it myself because (same as you) a friend had it!

thanks Tetsuwan Convoy,
i will get to it with those pics for gadget's car transformation!
the mad mobile is a great toy,the jet was a good getaway mode (as in the show)...the submarine mode was good for lurking (on the bottom of the ocean in the show)& overseeing evil plans!

this is a link to a pic of the inspector gadget doll (w/ box,foam insert & parts) that everyone has been mentioning!
