Back to the Future Rubber Duckie Figures: Quack to the Future

Posted on by

Because what fun is taking a bath if you don’t have toys to play with (and a ton of bubbles), these are the Back To The Future TUBBZ duck collectibles from Numskull Designs. Each duck is constructed from high-quality PVC and they come in four varieties: Marty with a video camera, Doc (Duck?) Brown wearing his brain wave analyzer, Marty in his radiation suit, and Doc with time-traveling DeLorean’s remote control.

Fingers crossed they continue the series with Back to the Future II characters as well. Then wild west Back to the Future III ones. Eventually, one day I’ll have an entire corner of my office dedicated to Back to the Future rubber duckies. And on that day, my wife will suggest we have a yard sale, and I’ll pretend not to hear her.

Every morning I wake up hoping this will be the day I slip on the toilet while hanging a clock, hit my head on the sink, and invent the flux capacitor. But noooo, all I ever invent are new forms of pain. My chiropractor must be making a small fortune in my quest for time travel.

Rubber Duckie Action Figure: Bathtub Superhero

Posted on by

Until now, the only duck heroes I was aware of were Howard the Duck and Duck Dodgers. Maybe Duckman if you want to stretch things. But what if there was a real superhero duck? That’s what we’ve got here. The duck we need.

After getting his hands on seven cheap rubber duckie toys, model maker Tomohiro Yasui painstakingly melded them together into a single new action figure. The surgery that was required to put together the duck-faced hero looks a bit horrifying, but the finished figure looks like the Six Million-Dollar Duck. We have the technology. We can make him better than he was. Better. Stronger. Faster.

I’m hoping that Marvel picks up on this idea and decides to make a movie based on this guy. Too bad the Duckman name is already taken.
