Also, there is a re-release ace duck Without a trading card that his package with his hat off. Have you ever seen one without the training card with his hat on?

The ultra rare release of the 1994 Ace Duck reissue came with his hat off (you have scroll all the way down to see it):

It’s at MyTeeFineStuff, also:

I’ve never seen it at K-Mart or Wal-Mart in the mid 1990s.

There is a version that does not include a trading card that has his hat off. I’m wondering if the same version without the trading card has his hat on

I haven’t seen an Ace Duck reissue without a trading card. Was it released in 1995 or early 1996 as part of the original Playmates toy line? It could have been a 1998 to 1999 re-release. I can’t find either version of that Ace Duck on Worthpoint (database for slightly dated eBay sales).

I never knew that Ace Duck re-release variant existed. It’s not anywhere else online, to the best of my knowledge. Interesting find.

If someone is still reading this thread, could someone tell, why on Purple cardback/coin only (without collectors card) there are years 1992-1994? And not 1996 or at least 1995. Do you think these figures were packed earlier and hit the shelves only at '96?
Most of figures with trading cards only are dated 1994. So, it's obvious that combo (card+coin) should be either just before, or right after that issue. But yet again, why then coined cardbacks are dated '92-94?

Playmates started producing reissues of the wave 1 to wave 8 (Merdude wave) figures in the years 1992 to 1994.

But that doesn't clears my question.

Reissues were issued mostly since 1992. And I still don't get it (but I'm not quite familiar with American distribution scheme, especially with exclusive distribution in chain stores).
You told:

Blue cardbacks - Early summer 1993, but they are dated 1992-93.
Purple cardback/no card no coin/punch tab- Mid to late 1994, but again some are dated 1993.
Purple cardback/magenta bricked trading card/punch tab/2nd half of 1994
Purple cardback/purple trading card that matches cardback/hang tab-1994
- these both are clear!
Purple cardback/card & coin/hang tab-1995/1996 - that's the main question! They are dated 1992-1994, but I don't get 2 things:
  • either it was prior to cards only?
  • or why then they are dated before '94, but the same cards only - are strictly 1994?
Purple cardback/coin/hang tab/1996 - here is the same question as above. For example: Movie Star Foot Soldier W Coin is dated 1992, and here is Movie Star Foot Soldier W card - dated 1994.
So why does coined figures dated earlier than carded, but were distributed later (in 1995-96)? Was that really so?!
Purple cardback/purple warning label on top left (Walmart)-1996 - that's clear for me again, although cardbacks are dated 1995, not '96. There might be just shift in supply
