He probably won't ever get his "fair due" but that could be said of many toyetic TMNT characters. Oh well. At any rate, yeah, he was developed to be a mere toy, nothing more.

Really if we're going for toy only characters that need more attention I vote Scale Tail.

Cubed, can you just stop! I mean, seriously, you have no FACTUAL basis to any of these claims.

YOU don't like Ace Duck. I got it. Just like you only like one of the Punk Frogs, Bebop being black etc

To the original poster. I happen to LOVE Ace Duck. He was always one of my favourite characters, and one I never thought got his proper due. I always imagined his as a bad ass fighter pilot/spy. Remember there are no truly bad characters, only bad writing.

I still hold out hope that Ace Duck will re-appear somewhere, sometime.

The world needs more Ace Duck!

I completely agree with you! Ace Duck will get his due..someday..somehow..when the world least expects it...(I hope!). Lol

Hey, you're not alone. I have a thing for ducks, too. In fact, I married one, LOL!

I dug Ace Duck as a kid too. I liked having him as one of the only good guys to use guns and grenades.

One memory I have about Ace Duck is the Intergalactic Wrestling comic. It's the one with Crying Hound and the 4 turtles fighting.

I just remember him showing off against Leatherhead until he catches him off-guard.

If anyone remembers the tape cassette that came with that comic, he sounds funny.

As far as on the TV series, I never watched that far to see him.

Haha! That is something unique about the Heroes division of the old TMNT line. But don't forget that April O'Neil's old action figures also included a concealed handgun. Too bad she didn't get clearance to use that in the show.

well, was ace duck an off screen test subject of Baxter stockmans? It looked like a photo.

The Ace Duck action figure is a favourite of mine.
I got it as a kid from my Grandfather. As a reward to my good grades, he told me I could choose a Ninja Turtle action figure. He was pretty surprised I chose the duck.

I got rid of my toys as I grew up but I bought a complete loose Ace Duck figure 2 years ago

.

Guess I also have a thing for ducks, I am a big fan of Donald, Scrooge and Howard.

I am also a big fan of this kind of cartoon ducks.

When I was a kid, I read a lot of Disney comics that featured the adventures of Donald Duck, Daisy Duck, Scrooge McDuck and gang. And watched Duck Tales, Darkwing Duck, Daffy Duck.
And saw the beginning of the Howard the Duck movie... to be interrupted by grown-ups and I was left hanging for many, many years.

And that's why I think the classic Ace Duck needs a proper appearance in other media.

Inside the 1987 cartoon universe, he is the fictional star of a series of movies, if I am not mistaken?

I like Ace, too, but my guess is the toy company - or whoever generated the design, might have been a Mirage guy - created him as sort of an homage to another underground comic, Destroyer Duck. After all, Jack Kirby was the artist, and the Mirage guys were well known Kirby fans. Also, Destroyer Duck was parodying Marvel (Howard the Duck) and the TMNT guys were no stranger to parodying Marvel comics.

Gaucelm · 10-27-2015, 06:45 PM

Damn, all those parody ducks... where does the parody begin?

If I remember correctly, Ace Duck's profile on his packaging says he's supposed to be the pilot of the Turtle Blimp. I guess the old cartoon writers (thankfully) realized that was kinda stupid and decided not to use him.

The Archie alien wrestler version of him on the other hand, was pretty cool, and to me the definitive version of the character (as opposed to the toy, I guess). But, I usually always did prefer the Archie interpretations of the various mutant/alien animal characters created for the toyline to the TV versions anyway.
