Darkwings mostly unknown early history

A lot of people don't seem to know about this but Darkwing Duck ran on the Disney Channel months before it was put on Syndication in September of 1991. It aired as a "sneak peak preview" March 31st 1991, which was the episode "That Sinking Feeling" and then premiered April 6th which was a rerun of That Sinking Feeling. From what i've tried to gather it ran til June of that year and there's barely any footage of these airings let alone episodes that aired during this run. Along with this came an exclusive theme song to this run which is entirely diffrent from what we got later on. There are 2 versions of this "rock based" theme. Version you can find a few places online but the quality varies and version 2 (the video I attached to this post) is so rare the only surviving footage is this. It's super low quality and it's incomplete. I spoke to someone who remembers recording most of the episodes (person who uploaded the footage I attached to the post) and he gave me a rough list of the episodes that aired and loose airdates, a few are missing from his list though because he didn't list 13 episodes. If anyone's interested i'll go over what I was told and the airdates he gave me but I come here to say, if anyone has any of these airings or any information about the theme song please let me know.

What is Your Idea for a Darkwing Duck Comic Crossover?

That is my Question

Wth the Gargoyles Crossover done what would be a good idea for another Darkwing Duck comic Crossover?

I would keep it in the Family & ether be Crossover with Ducktales or Marvel Crossover since Marvel is apart of the Disney Family I would totally want Darkwing Duck/Spider-Ham just think about that a crossover in the making right there

My 2nd idea is not technically crossover is simply introducing Darkwing Duck into official Duck Comic Canon

If I had to go outside Disney it be Saturday Morning Ninja Turtles Adventure & see Darkwing hangout with 87 Turtles or a version of them I guess? Would be fun seeing Erik Burnham write Darkwing Duck I am surprised Dynamite hasn't picked him to do a run specially after his work on Saturday Morning Ninja Turtles

But thats me what are your ideas?

Blind bags are beyond ridiculous these days..

Was kinda excited at my last Disney Store trip when I saw this, but then I flipped it over and saw the price. I get that it’s for 5 pins, but yikes on bikes when there’s no guarantee of which ones you’ll get. I’d love to have Darkwing and Negs, but l’m not paying $48.93 (includes tax) for just a chance in maybe getting them.

Oh well; I might consider buying them off eBay or Mercari.
