Ducky Nail Brush from Opal London

Name: Ducky Nail Brush

Interests: Scrubbing the dirt out from under toenails.
Where to Find: www.opal-london.com
Brand: Opal London
Price: $2.50

 

Dirt succumbs to my bristles.

Ducky Nail Brush is a plastic duck as opposed to rubber. He has wings molded onto his his sides and surprised looking eyes. His smile makes him look a bit constipated. If you’re going to have a nail brush, it may as well be a rubber ducky. I also own an alligator nail brush, but it just isn’t the same.

Mini Keychain Duckies from Opal London

Name: Mini Keychain Duckies
Interests: Going to school and playing games.
Where to Find: www.opal-london.com
Brand: Opal London
Price: $5.00 Cdn

We’re boy and girl twins.

My daughter loves looping these Mini Keychain duckies around her thumbs. The pink one is neon bright and is looking straight ahead. She is so bright that you barely even notice her orange beak or that she has a little tongue sticking out of her mouth. The blue one is looking off to his right. He is much darker so his orange beak is quite noticeable. These ducks are a great size and add life to any set of keys.

Diamante Ducky from Opal London

Name: Diamante Ducky
Interests: James Pond. We have been dating for 2 years now. James always buys me diamonds.
Where to Find: www.opal-london.com
Brand: Opal London
Price: $12.90 Cdn

My eyes twinkle when I smile (it's the reflection of my diamonds).

Diamante Ducky is available in all white or white with black polka dots. I have had a thing for polka dots this year (especially on my daughter’s clothing), so I opted for the polka dots. Diamante has turquoise eyes and nice long lashes on top and on the side (7 on each eye). The polka dots on her cheeks make it look like she is blushing. She has bright pink lips and is wearing a diamond (okay they are really rhinestones to keep the price of the duck down) necklace that is removable.

Diamante’s box says “a dazzling bathing diva and dripping with diamonds.” Diamante should feel special because she is laying on the shiny outside layer of my baby blue grad dress. I also wore this dress to be my best friend’s Maid of Honour when I was 19.

Duck Fizz Ducky from Opal London

Name: Duck Fizz Ducky
Interests: Being the life of cocktail parties or any celebration.
Where to Find: www.opal-london.com
Brand: Opal London
Price: $12.90 Cdn

Pop the cork.

Duck Fizz is the only gold rubber ducky that I own. She has a silver beak and stunning emerald green eyes. Beside her right eye is a tiny green diamond tattoo or perhaps it is part of her eye make-up. The tinsel boa is a bit much because it makes it hard to see her face, but really nothing is too much for Duck Fizz. She has a bottle of champagne around her neck that is labelled “Petillant” which means “fizzy” in French. It also says “Millesime” which is a hotel in Paris and a restaurant in New York. It translates from French to English as vintage.” Vintage fizz. That has to be the best champagne.

Duck Fizz’s name is actually “Ducks Fizz but as a writer I cannot use this grammatically incorrect name. Her box says she is “bred for a champagne lifestyle..”and that she is “prepared to party.” The boa and the champagne bottle are removable ( just like the other Opal London ducks). I love that these ducks all have props

Ductor House M.D. Ducky from Opal London

Name: Ductor House M.D. Ducky
Interests: Making people feel better. Finding a cure.
Where to Find: www.opal-london.com
Brand: Opal London
Price: $12.90 Cdn

I have bags upon bags under my eyes.

Ductor House M.D. is the first and only rubber ducky I have ever seen with bags under his eyes, wrinkles between his eyes and stubble on his beak. The detailing does a great job of making him look like a worn out doctor. His grey hair and eyes even make him look weary. He has a hospital cross on his back and on his doctor’s jacket. He is wearing an operating mask that is removable and a pink stethoscope that is removable. His box says “the scrubbed up Hospital Quack and making a drama out of a crisis.”

Duck TANNIA Ducky from Opal London

You wish you had my curls.

I know I am always ranting about ducks with hair and how rare it is. However, ducks with hair seem to be becoming more popular. Duck TANNIA has the most hair I have ever seen on a rubber duck. It is also extremely crazy! She is half clown and half queen. Half of her hair is red and half of it is blue. She has a perfect part down the middle. Each curl is a perfect ringlet and I am jealous. I want those curls. Her crown sweeps her hair back so you can see her pretty blue eyes and long lashes that make her eyes pop. She has a strand of pearls around her neck and the British flag across her body. She is the craziest looking rubber duck I have ever seen. She’s a wild queen. Her box says she is the “queen of ducks and she rules the waves.”

There is never a dull moment around the pond.

For my dad’s 50th birthday, I had a surprise James Bond theme party for him. He was James Bond and all our friends and relatives dressed up as Bond characters. I was Natalya on the top because she was the only woman who has never slept with Bond. My mom was Money Penny. We played Bond music all night and I even made a Bond trivia game. Of course my Dad’s team won.

Since Opal London is a British company, it seemed quite fitting that they had a James Pond ducky. James Pond’s box says “the name is Pond, James Pond...00 licensed to thrill...!" James Pond is all white with black thick eyebrows, grey eyes, a black tuft of hair and a black tuxedo complete with a cloth elasticized bow tie around his neck. This is a nice touch. He also has a red beak. I am declaring this week the official Opal London week (since I just received my new shipment of ducks from them on Friday).

Sue Ducku Ducky from Opal London

Name: Sue Ducku Ducky (nice play on words)
Interests: Doing Sudoku puzzles. I am the best at them.
Where to Find: www.opal-london.com
Brand: Opal London Quackers ™ Bathing Ducks
Price: $12.90 Cdn

Seven is my favourite number.

Sue Ducku ducky is very cool. She comes with her own pencil that is elasticized to her neck with an orange collar. Her box says “she’s got your number..” and “she’s a real brain teaser..” She is all yellow but has thick black grid lines all over her body for the sudoku grid. She has the numbers 1, 5, 2 and 7 filled in.

This is the last Opal London duck that I have but I am going to order more very soon.

Badass Biker Bill Ducky from Opal London

Where to Find: www.opal-london.com
Brand: Opal London Quackers ™ Bathing Ducks
Price: $ 12.90 Cdn

My license plate is DUC 22.

Badass Biker Bill is so badass that even pipes won’t melt his arse. His box says “the migrating motor head...hell’s favourite (I love British spelling) angel...!”

Badass Biker Bill is orange and black which are the Harley Davidson colours. The coolest thing about Opal London ducks besides their names are their accessories. Badass Biker Bill has a handkerchief neck scar that velcros on and off from around his neck. It is all black with little white Xs. He has a shiny chrome beak and sympathetic looking eyebrows. His wings are tattooed with a fire symbol and he is wearing a grey leather jacket. It is too bad he doesn’t come with a helmet.

Yum Yum I was born to saute.

Duck a la Orange has fun cooking in my daughter’s play kitchen. The tiny pink kitchen is the perfect size for him. He can whip up anything from Carbonara to souffle.

Duck a la Orange is wearing a blue checkered tablecloth scarf and has eight slices of orange on his left side. His eyebrows show just how serious of a chef he is.

Adore my beauty mark?

My husband managed to find an entire line of rubber ducks that I don’t own but also that I have never heard of before. Opal London ducks are very British. There is even a James Pond rubber duck. I received money for my birthday and I think James Pond is going to be added to my collection this summer.

Tarty Anne’s box says “the Scottish siren...dressed for the dating game...” She is all red and is looking for love. She has eyelashes at the sides and the top of her eyes. I have never seen this on a rubber ducky before. Her beak is pink and she has an orange tuft of hair. A beauty mark graces her right cheek (aka a mole). She is very Scottish with her red plaid scarf and the red plaid elastic bracelet for her owner.
