Series Five: Spy Squad
The end of an era, the last
line of Mighty Ducks action figures, were all essentially repaints of the series 1 figures
released with new and very innovative weaponry. This is the only series which does not
include a villain figure.
Battle Shield Wildwing
A darker repaint of his series 1 figure, this
Wildwing features a dark copper Mask and metallic armor. His accessories are a bola puck
that can be launched from the right arm, and a neon green ice shield that snaps onto the
left wrist. To be more accurate, these two weaponry functions should be switched around.
Power Walker Nosedive
With the best accessories in this series,
Nosedive's figure features a color scheme very similar to Wildwing's. His accessories are
a pair of giant spring-loaded stilts with webbed duck feet. By far the largest accessory
of any of the Ducks action figures, this one literally makes Nosedive stand above all of
the rest.
Speed Climber Duke L'Orange
Although he looks a little crowded with his
full assortment of accessories on, Duke's got some seriously cool weapons this time
around. First off is a large puck cannon that shoots out a neon blue puck, with spring
force. Attached to his back is a pack with a retractable grappling hook within. You
can, essentially, have Duke climb up things. Last but not least is an improved version of
the series 1 sabre. Although this one doesn't retract, its blade glows blue, closer to the
animated version of the sword.
Combat Grin
The last in a line of bad Grin figures, this
one is no exception. In additon to metallic-colored body armor, Grin's arms are silvery as
well, which makes little sense, seeing as how his head is the normal color. His
accessories include a bill-shaped visor, a twin-headed missle that fires from a spring
launcher in his shoulder, and a silvery extendable club weapon. Unfortunately, nothing too
special.
Notes: Like the fourth series before it, series 5 received little shelf
time before it was put on clearance, beacause its release coincided with the show being
taken off of most major networks that were running it in syndication. However, since it is
the last and latest release of figures, there is still a good chance of finding them mint
on card from online auctions.
