Fascinating, that's what I can say about it. Not in a good way, but in a sense of appreciating it as a failure, which was solely because of how commercial they attempted to make an non-commercial property. As in, it's not Battlefield Earth, but the concept as created would have worked better later on, say, as an Adult Swim show or what not.

Then there will be the obligatory "funny title" across the bottom declaring it the "Quacktastic Non-Fowl Edition".

Then again, if Street Fighter is coming, anything's possible.

Ill take a cover with Lea Thompson bending over on the bed shot, with Tim and Howard with crazy looks.
This is a day 1 for me, I still have it on VHS, and a DVD rip I made myself.

Howard the Duck - cult classic for 80's children, masochists, and Jeffrey Jones completists.
