There are a ton of TMNT characters created as action figures first and inserted into the show/comics later simply because they needed more figures to sell to kids

Such a backwards way of marketing. I had almost every action figure, and I've probably seen the show like twice.

The best example is Ace Duck, he was created as a figure and has a whole detailed backstory on the figure box... And then in the 1987 show, he shows up as a cameo on a show the turtles are watching on TV. That's it.

He also shows up when the turtles fight in an intergalactic wrestling match.

What's amazing is that at the same time those were on (mostly X-Men) Batman TAS was on (and Gargoyles). The quality between those shows and the Marvel stuff is astounding.
Speaking of Marvel 90s cartoons who are the non X-Men/Spiderman cartoons? I remember their being an Iron Man but really can't remember much about it. Were there any others?

Not only that, it was mind-blowing to me the potential of how good X-Men could be based upon that opening sequence/Japanese intro but that level of quality never made it into the episodes themselves.

The 90s X-Men cartoon blew chunks outside of that intro and a few camp moments. "Covered with scorpions" indeed. The Spider-Man cartoon was even worse. There's nothing wrong with fond memories or nostalgia but both of those things need to be left in the past.

Got to loving love that 1988 intro for a cartoon in 1994.

It's most famous moment I know of was when Ghost Rider showed up and chumped Galactus:

The Iron Man cartoon is noteworthy for the Season 2 intro, and a surprising number of deep-cut cameos:

You can see the gyroscopic suit-up rig they used in the first few MCU flicks. I'm sure it has a comic basis first though. That anvil thing is honestly :krad: though.

There was also a Hulk cartoon:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dyQpEoMFF3w
I remember the She-Hulk episode very very vaguely being run on UPN at like 6 am in the late 90s, the intro, and nothing else. Honestly a good intro.

There was that weird Spider-Man Unlimited cartoon:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s_85l8sBlPk
Made in that hot second when Heroes Reborn and 2099 both looked like things that would last. Turns out expensive animation and a weird concept about helping guerrilla fighters against the High Evolutionary isn't a good sell. Really good animation though, ngl.

I distinctly remember being a kid and thinking "who the gently caress are any of these people?" even though now I know them better than I do some co-workers. When the episode with Cap, Iron Man, and Thor aired I recall going "oh yeah so that's what they're from. Wow they hosed the designs up on this show real bad huh?"

And then in the deepest cut I know (for Marvel) is Ultraforce based off a Malibu property:

It’s based on a story where Doctor Strange uses a spell to cause a similar effect on Galactus, so it was easy to substitute him for the more 90’s appropriate Ghost Rider. There were two waves of Ghost Rider figures in 95-96, and this was all we really got of him in the cartoons. I think they showed his face once in a episode of X-Men.
