I wonder if there will ever be a modern 'Mad Bubbler'
 

With Bandai taking the helm on manufacturing toys i wonder if there will ever be a few toys that are only made for the dealers catalogues like the LJN prototypes that can be bought at the right price. Maybe those days are gone and its more clinical and unadventurous.
The fun about collecting LJN Cats was that certain countries manufactured there licensed versions, Cosmocats in France, Glasslite, Playful etc. Now its just Bandai's sellotaped standard bubble on card. Only variation might be the language the instructions are in.
Just a rambling thought while reminiscing

I would love to see what the new show's take on the Mad Bubbler would be like. If they ever do introduce a MB into the new show, I think Bandai should most definitely make a toy of it. Include a figure of one of the main cast if need be, but still make it happen somehow. Maybe include a Tygra figure with his new whip ;)

I definitely agree that collecting the LJN line is a blast!

LJN Just did a great job recreating the cartoon into a toy. AND i actually liked the limited articulation. These new figs i can hardly get to stand up properly at times
