  • Bucky O’Hare and the Toad Wars was the animated version of Star Wars we never realized we needed as kids. It captured all the things that made Star Wars great while being super unique. Here is everything you didn't know about Bucky O’Hare!

      The theme song in the toy commercial replaces Jenny with Bruiser since we didn't get a Jenny toy until Boss Fight Studio put one out a couple years ago (it's awesome).

    Nice overview. I love Bucky and it broke my heart as a kid when the show was cancelled and the toy line ended. I had all 10 figures and both vehicles, though sadly most of that was either sold or tossed leaving me with just Bucky. It's also unfortunate the comics that were exclusive to Italy never were released here and are so hard to get and the cartoon still hasn't officially been released on DVD in region 1. On the plus side, the new figures from Boss Fight Studio are fantastic and hopefully the line can continue. They're even doing a Mimi LaFloo! And we'll always have the NES game which is pretty great.

    Bucky O' Hare and SWAT Kats are the two 90s shows that really needs a genuinely good reboot, SWAT Kats got close in the mid-late 2010s but CN denied the show so it was canceled (even though it had been kickstart funded).
    but honestly, Bucky can be compared to Star Fox, which ironically bucky predates.

    I first read Bucky OHare in an anthology comic called Echo of Futurepast in the early 80s. I don't recall seeing his own books. I also think they left Jenny (they call her a Witch Cat in the comics) out of the toy lineup. I know figures of her were produced in limited numbers much later.
