I was a huge fan in the 90's. I actually couldn't get the 5th issue of the comic, every retailer around me had dropped it. Being an upset young'n my mom actually called the publisher to see if she could order it, instead they signed and sent me a hardcover of the graphic novel compilation. They also said that a couple Jenny's were actually made with the first wave of toys, but produced in a small batch and given to them and a few others as gifts. Guess they didn't think it would sell well.

StarFox is already a spiritual successor to Bucky O' Hare. Just read the 1993 Nintendo Power comic, it has a lot of similar elements. As good as this crossover sounds Imamura, Miyamoto, and Itoh already envisioned what the series was and a crossover is not in sight. Granted its always bothered me when people only look at StarFox from a surface level and never bothered to pay attention to detail pass that. Yes their pilots, partially, though they were intended as mercenaries that played by their own rules and sought payment. Also everything in Dinosaur Planet fits in the StarFox universe.

One thing I have always been surprised by was Nintendo never doing a StarFox show

@lutherheggs451 3 жыл бұрын

They can't even be bothered to make more than one Star Fox game....They just keep remaking the same game over and over and over...StarFox 64 is just a remake of the SNES game and every game since is just a variation on that remake .

@@lutherheggs451 yes but when ever they try expanding the universe the fans just complain it is not like StarFox64. Adventures and Assult were good games, but have been torn apart because they are not like the original.

Thanks for this, Dan. I discovered Bucky O'Hare, through the short lived animated series, in its original run. It has a reallt interesting backstory, which makes me wonder why the series wasn't successful. I had no idea there was a comic series & an NES game, but I do also remember the action figure line, as well. I only had Bucky, himself, though, out of that whole line.

I discovered Bucky and crew through the animated series in 1991 and growing up I played the NES game a lot, so much that it remains my favorite platformer. Nine years ago at the Vancouver Fan Expo I met actor Garry Chalk who has been in several shows, movies, and done quite a few voices on cartoons over the years including Commander Dogstar on Bucky O' Hare. I had him sign my dvd of the Mega Man cartoon from 1994 and he was pleasantly surprised to hear anyone bring up Bucky O' Hare :)

I met Neil Adams at a convention in Dallas back in 2012, and when I made a comment about the Bucky O'Hare shirt his assistant was wearing, Neil immediately began singing the entire theme song from memory.

I loved the cartoon and the toys. I remember reading that Jenny was meant to be included in the first wave of figures but the toy manufacturers insisted "no one wants the girl toy" 🙄🙄🙄 and as a result, some of the other toys didn't sell well enough for the cartoon to get a second season. I was SO PISSED when I learned this. Rest assured , we wanted "the girl toy."

This is why Boss Studio made sure she was in the first wave of their toys when they brought out the new versions. They wanted to make sure the mistakes of the pass were not repeated

Something that caught my attention was that the human boy was one of the biggest characters, humans in that universe would be one of the most powerful species. Just give them some time to reverse engineer that technology (the boy was a able create similar with little resources) and they could become a worse threat than the toads.

I loved loved loved Bucky O'Hare as a kid. Almost as much as the Ninja Turtles, which is quite impressive considering how miniscule the run was. Got Bucky and Blinky and was always searching for a Jenny figure that didn't exist. Rented the NES game repeatedly from my local game store but never heard of the Arcade game until a few years ago (when I also discovered the NES game had ballooned in price). I still vaguely remember that awesome theme song and searched for the episode after the last one when Bucky was actually going to fight Toadborg but it was never to be. It deserved ten times the success but it'll always be a favorite of mine.

My grandma had a VHS of Bucky O Hare when I was about 5 years old around 2000 and I loved that show to death. It was like a more kid friendly star wars. I still love it to this day and wish I could find some physical media of the show. What a shame it failed back in the 80s but I think in 2023 if handled properly this IP can hit big
