I know, I know, I haven’t written the Unpacking the 2025 False Ducks Video Ramble!
I was going to start writing that blahg but two packages arrived in the mail yesterday so I’m switching from an Unpacking blahg to an Unboxing blahg. None of that will make sense, nor will the photo to the right, unless you have read my blahg from last September entitled DARKWING DUCK AND THE NFT CASH GRAB. Do yourself a favour and check that out before you read on.
Okay, if you’re like me, you probably didn’t go back and read that previous blahg and do some research. Let me summarize for you. In that blahg, I talked about my Darkwing Duck and other Disney Afternoon Funko Pops. I showed off my collection. Let me summarize that for you, as well, in image format. First up are my Darkwing Duck Funkos. Click on the image for a larger view:
Next up were my Talsespin Funkos:
Then there were my Ducktales Funkos:
And finally, the only Chip & Dale Rescue Rangers Funko in my collection:
Of course, when I wrote that blahg, I noted that there were five other Disney Afternoon Funkos that I didn’t own and there were chase variants for Monterey Jack from Rescue Rangers, Wildcat, Louie, a flocked Baloo from the Talespin series, and a variant of Scrooge McDuck:
I don’t have the chase variant for Scrooge McDuck but I did find the Louie chase at a local shop and picked up the flocked Baloo at the Ottawa Comicon last September. My wife tracked down and gave me the Monterey Jack and Wildcat chase Funkos for my Birthday. I talked about that in a previous blahg, HOW WAS/WERE MY BIRTHDAY(S)?
Now for the Funko NFTs. Here is the image I posted in my first blahg about the Disney Afternoon NFT Funkos:
None of those had been released when I posted about these Funkos in September of last year. Finally, meaning yesterday, I received my NFT Funkos. I won’t hold you in suspense. Here’s a video of me unboxing the two packages I received yesterday:
I went through a lot to finally own these and I’ll say it was worth it once I opened the box and held them all in my hand. Here’s a photo of them all after I unboxed them:
These are, of course, very limited and they have a production of only 2100 pieces for Ma Beagle, Quackerjack, and Fat Cat. There are 5,000 of Flintheart Glomgold and 2300 of Don Karnage. There are only 999 of Liquidator. You would think that only 999 of Liquidator would make him one of the rarest in my collection but I have a two-pack of Peter Potamus and So-So where there were only 750 units released:
That doesn’t mean Peter Potamus and So-So are any more valuable than my new NFTs. I’d like to think the value is in the collection where I’ve completed everything in the Darkwing Duck, Talespin, and Rescue Rangers lines. I still have to find that Scrooge McDuck chase and then my Ducktales collection will be complete.
So, what’s next? I’d like to see some more Disney Afternoon releases. How about that missing Bushroot from the Darkwing Duck series to complete the Fearsome Five?
Maybe Funko could release some other villains like Steelbeak, Tuskernini, or Taurus Bulba?
A Morgana MacCawber from the Darkwing Duck series as well as Stegmutt and Neptunia, all from the Justice Ducks who go up against the Fearsome Five would be awesome as well.
From Talespin, I think a Molly Cunningham would be great to finish off the series.
Of course, Rescue Rangers would not be complete without Chip, Dale, Gadget, and Zipper.
Ducktales is fairly complete but nice additions would be a Gladstone Gander or a Fenton Quackshell who is the secret identity of Gizmoduck (shhh, don’t tell anyone).
I wouldn’t say no to a Doofus Drake figure:
While we’re at it, let’s not forget the great inventor Gyro Gearloose and his pal “Little Helper”:
If you want to get picky, we have a Ma Beagle but it would be nice to add some of the Beagle Boys. How about a a triple pack of Beagle Boys?
I’m going to go off a bit and be a little particular about the Goof Troop line of figures. There have only been three of these associated with that cartoon. Max is the only one from the TV Show that’s been released:
From “The Goofy Movie” spinoff from the TV series there were Goofy and Powerline funkos:
What I would like to see are Max and PJ figures:
And to be even more particular, how about a Super Goof funko? He and Darkwing Duck are Disney’s greatest heroes!
If any or all of those come out as NFTs I’d have to rethink my aversion to the NFT program.
We’ll see!
