Chun-Li Ducky

Name: Chun-Li Ducky

Interests: Enjoying sunsets and hanging out with the Street FIghter and and dressing up in cosplay

Where to Find: Numskull.com and Ducks in the Window (but his girl is from VarageSale in Victoria)

Brand: TUBBZ

Price: $10.00 on VarageSale but $20.00 retail

 

This is my first TUBBZ rubber ducky. They are actually quite large and I love their expressions Chun-Li is angry but also smiling. The lid of her container reminds me of getting a Peanut Buster Parfait to go from Dairy Queen. She even comes with a cute little tub to sit in as part of her packaging and would look cute in the package on your shelf. It also looks like a spaceship or space helmet over a bathtub. These duckies are just as expensive and collectible as Bud and Rubba Ducks. 


There are so many of these cosplay duckies to choose from and they are even going the celebrity route with a Jennifer Aniston duck and other Friends characters. I think Celebriducks has a new competitor.





Who can resist an impressive sunset?

The packaging


These snow berries match my style.

Jazzy Ducky loves to read Esi Eduyan books. Her “Half-blood Blues” novel is his favourite. He has read all her books and even shops at the local bookstore that she shops at.            

I walked into Accent Inns and asked for this ducky. I need to go back again and get Jazzy Ducky’s rapper friend. I don’t have that one either. Jazzy Ducky brings my Accent Inn ducky count to 24. I would love to see the full collection as I know the hotel does not keep track of every duck that they have ever given out, but I am trying to collect them all. I would also be happy to accept donations to the flock. You can learn more about the Accent Inn flock and their cool write up here:

It's the last day of teacher appreciation week today. It's the first full week of May each year (May 03-May 09, 2020). If there is anytime that we want to say an extra thanks to all the teachers, it is definitely this week and during the world's current situation with coronavirus. Zoom classes and other online tools for video conferencing have definitely become the new normal these past 8 weeks. Our kids really appreciate their grade 3, 1, and preschool teachers.

Where to Find: Ducks in the window

Girl teacher ducky loves to go old school with a chalkboard. Her students love using
chalkboards too. There is just something about the feel of the chalk and the scratchy sound as it writes
on the board. It also smells better than some of those white board makers too.



One of her students recently showed her their DIY for how to turn an F into and A plus. However,
nowadays some duckeis don't even receive letter grades anymore. She loves to wear her hair in
a bun to keep it off her face too. She is also married to Boy Teacher Ducky.

Breaking Bath Ducky


Name: Breaking Bath Ducky
Interests: chemistry and being a dealer
Where to Find: Amazon or celebriducks.com
Brand: Celebriducks
Price: a Christmas gift from my friend

Colin and I loved the good old days of watching Breaking Bad. It was great to see the actor transform from the Dad on Malcolm in the Middle to a teacher, Dad, and crystal meth maker in the Walter White character. Now Walter White the ducky is part of my collection,
In the past, I criticized some of my older celebriducks for having small heads and short beaks and not looking very ducky like. However, I am impressed and love the Breaking Bath ducky. His head is wider and he had a great beak too.

My personal shopper friend has scored discovering that these duckies that are usually $20.00 Canadian each can now been found for only $4.00 at Dollarama. I hope the rest of this series keeps flocking to Dollarama, so I can complete my collection.

My 8-year-old daughter painted the rainbow on the right.

The snow makes me look dull.

Have a Ball with Crystal

Whoever said "a diamond
is a girl's best friend"
never met Crystal.

This gem's prismatic personality
can turn a little sunlight
into a colorful rainbow.

This is my official National Rubber Ducky day post of 2020, so that makes this ducky extra special.
