Title: Inspector Gadget - Dr. Claw's face revealed?
Post by: Pete The Greek on April 10, 2011, 11:01:47 PM
So I am watching Inspector Gadget as I am bored with the regular crap that fills the 10:30 PM time slot.  It got me wondering; was Dr. Claw's face was ever revealed, ever?  After a quick google search, it turns out that an action figure was released in 2007.  

But your kidding me.

Just like the author of the article, I was also expecting somebody to be in a mask like Destro. I assume others did as well.  

So now I know...I should have never had looked this up lol.

I remember when that figure came out, trying to see behind the cardboard.

At the local Zellers however somebody not satisfied with buying or peeking actually opened one to see it, and left it behind. So me a couple friends saw it.

Even then the thought was... Really? :'(

I always thought Dr. Claw had white hair.  The figure looks like how I pictured him.

I suppose it could have been worse. I'm still trying to figure out if Zoltar from "Battle of the Planets" was a man or a women.  :-

Zoltar was an hermaphrodite.

The Doctor Claw figure is a big let down.
I remember that with my friends we were always wondering if he wore a mask as well.

I just tell myself that this is how the toy designers envisioned Dr. Claw.

We never saw Dr. Claw's face in the show, therefore that's the way I want to remember him.

I think Toyfare had an article with Frank Welker once and they ran that image of Dr. Claw on there. That was the first time I'd seen it. I remember being severely disappointed.  I also always thought he'd have a mask.

I peeked behind it too.  Was rather let down, but not overly surprised.  I too expected more of a Destro look.

Hey guys, don't know if you agree but his faces looks like it's going to melt, just by the look of his painted eyeballs. Anyone wants to agree with me that it could be afterall...a mask?  8)

Nah, it's more like Dr. Claw went Mad because his stupid hence men failed time after time to eliminate Gadget.
