I love superheroes, I really do. Looking at my toy collection makes that pretty clear. But one thing superheroes seemingly lack more and more as I\u2019ve gotten older is a distinct and well-rounded life in their secret identity. It\u2019s really part of maintaining the status quo, I suppose. Superman can punch out Brainiac ad nauseam and we don\u2019t blink an eye, but how many times can we read about him surviving a parent teacher conference? (I\u2019d at least like to find out\u2026)<\/p>\n

When I think back to Darkwing Duck, I don\u2019t think of him as the shadowy guardian and crime fighter so much as that he was a great Dad. The show was fantastic, the villains roster solid, Launchpad is still one of my favorite characters, and Gizmoduck is a sensation to himself. And yet, it was Gosalyn and her relationship with Drake that truly made the show work for me. To this day, I will drink up comics that show strong family lives because of great shows like Darkwing Duck ( though, admittedly, I also save a lot of money this way).<\/p>\n

<\/center><\/p>\n

Funko\u2019s Darkwing Duck figure has me thinking about that relationship because the figure is so happy. He\u2019s also kinda looking down so I just see him taken from a moment talking to Gosalyn versus say, getting dangerous. It\u2019s a terrific sculpt and the expression leaves me recalling my favorite parts of the show.<\/p>\n

<\/center><\/p>\n

The rest of sculpt is great; the whole first wave just looks like animation in real life. Darkwing stands about the same height as Scrooge, has a great paint, and features ball-jointed shoulders, hinged elbows, and swivels at the waist, neck, and v-crotch hips. The soft cape looks sharp as does the ginormous hat. The traditional gas gun is also included. Continue to Page 2…<\/a><\/p>\n

This wave includes a chase repaint, which is technically a Negaduck. Negaduck I? In the show, Darkwing is struck by a device that splits him into the old trope of a good version and an evil version. Initially, evil Darkwing just has some seriously evil eyebrows, but a second shot front the device turns him into black & white menace. It\u2019s a cool extra and a good idea for the chase. Hopefully, leaving the \u201cReal\u201d Negaduck to be a regular figure later.<\/p>\n

<\/center><\/p>\n

Speaking of the better known Negaduck. Funko, if you haven\u2019t already figured this out, and you probably have, give that Negaduck a stern or overly serious expression and then repaint it back to Darkwing! I do love his friendly adoptive Dad head sculpt, but a winged scourge face would peck at my nightmares and be welcome on my shelves too.<\/p>\n

<\/center><\/p>\n

I\u2019ll be looking at the various Disney Afternoon figures all week. Darkwing Duck is available for pre-order at both BigBadToyStore<\/a> and Entertainment Earth<\/a>. Negaduck is a 1 in 6 chase figure, so he may be a little tougher to snag, but hopefully not so much for that truly want him. Look for the figures to be in-stock in November.<\/p>\n

**Thanks again to the folks at Funko for providing this figure to IAT for this review!**<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
