>>7465600What's interesting is that Michel Vaillant originally had nothing to do with Hot Wheels(in fact, the series predates Hot Wheels by 11 years). Mattel apparently sponsored the cartoon, but I'm not sure if it was US broadcasts only or both US and France. If it was the latter, then that would explain Shadow Jet's appearance, but it would raise a question about why so many of the cars in the show didn't get a diecast version.
