Disney's The Mighty Ducks of Anaheim Merchandise

By: Nick Maglio

As anyone who knows me will tell you, I'm not really a sports fan. I'll watch the occasional baseball or football game, but that's as far as it goes. So, what possessed me to purchase this Mighty Duck's merchandise? Where did I get it, and what did it cost?.
I have no idea.

I enjoyed the movie, but couldn't tell you one thing about it now, except that it's a movie about a hockey team starring Emilio Estevez. As a Disney Store Cast Member at that time, I felt obligated to see all the Disney Movies being released so I could discuss them with guests. At least that was my excuse.

Back to the merchandise.

Disney founded the Mighty Ducks Hockey team in 1993. I know this from this ornament, which tells me the Ducks inaugural season is 93-94. An ornament? Really? At least it's festive, with the confetti inside and all.


Maybe I bought this Matchbox car because it was a Limited Edition?


And then there is the hockey puck. If I remember correctly, I actually bought the case separately. The little cash register is dinging in my brain.



Disney sold the Mighty Ducks in 2005, but I still have this merchandise! Maybe that makes it worth more?

Flea Market Finds–Donald Duck Matchbox Car


By Barbie




This little Flea Market find is marked Matchbox Disney Series No 2 (c) Walt Disney Productions made in Hong Kong 1979, Lesney Prod & Co Ltd. It is a small die cast 2 1/2" long 1 1/2" wide 2 1/2" high car, but Donald is the real reason I bought this piece. Look at his adorable little face!
