While I'm not willing to part with my ducks, you should know that the three lines you are asking for are not comptible with each other, if you were thinking of mixing them.

The Lance & Laser Ducks are still available from Lance & Laser, though their website seems to be down at the moment. They are much taller than any of the other duck figures, and are cartoonish in a "Rubber Ducky" way. Which is really too bad, as I really liked the celtic concept, and some of the poses. http://www.coolminiornot.com/forums/showthread.php?21016-Three-Mighty-Ducks-Lance-Laser They are currently sold by Skirmish Games: http://skirmisher.cerizmo.com/categories/559--quactica-rules-miniatures

The Mongoose duck "feather wig" is so totally not duckish (I'm painting them right now). Also, they are much more like humans with duck's heads and feet than the old Archive, Ral Partha or Citadel/Trollkin forge.

Archive are pretty "ropey". They Are either the oldest, or Second oldest (I have three ducks that *may* predate them, or at least were available around the same time).

Alternatives:

Magister Militum is selling the old Chariot range: http://www.navigatorminiatures.com/prodtype.asp?PT_ID=162 While they are listed as 15mm, they stand up well as Gloranthan Ducks in 25mm. Somewhat more heavily armed than I like.

Ral Partha had one in the RQ Adventurers box; Citadel/Trollkin Forge had a couple. TableTop games had some packs as well. Except for Chariot, these are all out of print (or impossible to get, in the case of tabletop).

I have some pictures up on my Light of Action website http://lightofaction.com/Gallery_Figures_Ducks.html. (man, I need to revamp that site...)

My suggestion: get the Chariot ducks from magister Militum, as they are currently available, and much more "Duckish" than any of the others.
