My largest Ducky has been featured in quite a few posts before. You can find his twin here and you can find him dressed as a pirate here. 

 My largest ducky is dressed up for St. Patrick’s day in his perfect hat and his scarf from the Dollarama. A curious Jack the cat just had to come and see what all the fuss was about and upon investigating, he even decided to pose nicely for a photo. 

Happy St. Patrick’s Day 2021! We could all use a little more luck (especially this year)!

Quakers Ducky

Name: Quackers Ducky
Interests: Driving people quackers and whale watching.
Where to Find: Toy store in Puerto paraiso mall in Cabo
Brand: Schylling
Price: 99 pesos ($7.00 Cdn)

Is there a duck in the room?

When I bought Quackers I thought he was a whistle. When you blow into him he loudly make a noise that is a cross between a duck and a kazoo. You can imagine just how loud it is in a small echoing hotel room in an all inclusive resort.

Quackers works part time taking tourists whale watching. He sounds his quacker every time a whale is spotted.

Blue Disco Ducky

Name: Blue Disco Ducky

Interests: Bartending and bowling.
Where to Find: Don't remember.
Brand: Schylling
Price: $7.95 Cdn

Watch out for seizures.

Blue Disco Ducky has quite a few lights in him and is the fastest flashing light ducky that I have. I wouldn't recommend looking at him for long because he is hard on the eyes. He flashes blue and red and it almost looks like he has more than one light inside him. He is a translucent blue so the light is really noticeable. He is quite popular at disco night at the bowling alley. During his Saturday night shift at "The Dive" bar, he lights up while he makes hi-balls and pours shots. He is a more expensive flashing ducky because he has a large round pad on his bottom instead of the typical two metal prong sensors. His head and eyes are shaped a bit like an alien.

Trio of Pink Duckies

Name: Trio of Pink Duckies

Interests: Stopping bullying and anything pink
Where to Find: Don’t know.
Brand: Department 56, Unknown and Schylling (left to right)
Price: Don’t remember

Stop bullies.

Trio of Pink Duckies started an anti-bullying program in their school this year. They created pink hats and sweatshirts as part of the campaign. They also created pink ducky inner tubes for floating down rivers. The ducky in the middle of the picture is wearing an inner tube. The Department 56 ducky (first ducky on the left) was bullied as a child because she was not a typical looking ducky. The ducky on the far right is a light up ducky. Once she is activated she glows for a long time.

Ninja Mummy Ducky

Name: Ninja Mummy Ducky 

Interests: Fighting bad guys.
Where to Find: Don’t remember
Brand: Schylling
Price: $3.95 Cdn

My mummy cloth is armour.

Ninja Mummy Ducky is a super hero among ducks. His mummy cloth is armour and it can repel anything and everything. Underneath his armour is his green ninja suit which brings him good luck during fights. You can see it covering his eyes, tail and his toes. He protects innocent people and listens to his police scanner to try to prevent crime and get to a scene before the police ducks arrive.

Camelot Knight, King Arthur, Queen Guinevere and Royal Prince Duck

Brand: Schylling (middle two) and Toysmith (first and last duck)

Knights of the round table.

The first ducky Camelot Knight is rumoured to have had an affair with Queen Guinevere Ducky. Camelot Knight is head of the round table and is King Arthur’s first knight. He is holding a shield and an axe. King Arthur and Queen Guinevere were two of the first 50 or so ducks in my collection. I also purchased them before the Pirates of the Pond because they are an entire dollar cheaper. King Arthur and Queen Guinevere’s Royal Prince son is 10 years old. he has quite the red tongue and sometimes Queen Guinevere Ducky wonders if he looks more like the Camelot Knight or King Arthur.

Every Sunday night the family and of course Camelot Knight watch the Game of Thrones together. They have also read all the books.

Pirates of the Pond Duckies

Quack Matie.

The two pirate duckies on the left are Schylling brand and are from Elephants Never Forget. They are some of the first duckies that I purchased and I used to go to this neat store in the 124th street area in Edmonton quite often for duckies. They also had a large assortment of other toys too. The first ducky in the blue pirate hat is holding a sword in his right wing. The sword matches the sword on his hat. The second ducky is holding a gun in his right wing and is missing his left eye from an accident when he was fighting the first pirate ducky.

The third ducky is the son of the second ducky and he wears a patch on the same eye to look cool like his Dad. He is Oriental Trading Company brand and is from the Old Strathcona Farmer’s market. The last ducky is a squirter pirate ducky for the tub and he wears his eye patch to avoid getting water in his right eye. Each day he changes up which eye the patch is on. He is from the US and I bought him during a business trip.

Buccaneer Bill Ducky

Name: Buccaneer Bill Ducky
Interests: Playing dress up. I also have a straw hat. I love hats and bandanas.
Where to Find: Don’t remember for the duck but his outfit is from Home Outfitters
Brand: Schylling
Price: $20.00 Cdn

Ducky with clothes.

Buccaneer Bill Ducky is really the name of who this ducky is dressed like. Bill was available at Home Outfitters many years ago. I wonder what happened to the Bill brand and if it’s still for sale somewhere. The following Bill outfits are available: Billionaire Bill (I have this outfit) Santa Bill, Sailor Bill and Baseball Bill.

This ducky came with a straw hat but I am not sure where it is at the moment. Therefore, this ducky got to wear this cool outfit instead. Buccaneer Bill has a heavy gold chain, a black eye patch and a red bandana. I realize that in the picture I have his bandana tied to look more like a lady in a kerchief instead of a bad ass pirate. Oops.

Flashy Ducky

Name: Flashy Ducky
Interests: Flashing people (with my lights, not by being naked, don’t be gross).
Where to Find: Many toy stores carry this duck.
Brand: Schylling
Price: $2.95 Cdn 

I last longer than the energizer bunny.

Flashy Ducky slowly lights up white, pink, purple, blue, yellow and then red. Next she repeats all these colours really fast in a flashy light show. There doesn’t appear to be a way to replace the batteries in these flashy ducks. This would have been a nice feature. However, they are safer for kids to play with because the batteries cannot come out. My daughter plays with this ducky lots and Flashy Ducky has not run out of juice yet.

Bride and Groom Duckies

Name: Bride and Groom Duckies
Interests: Being the perfect accessory to your destination wedding.
Where to Find: Zydeco Gifts in Victoria
Brand: Schylling
Price: $3.95 Cdn each

A Destination Wedding is the way to go.

Happy 6 year anniversary Colin! Today is my husband and I’s 6 year wedding anniversary and the picture today features us, our wedding cake and our Bride and Groom ducky wedding cake toppers. We got married at 5:00 PM on the beach near the water. We had our first dance with our toes in the ocean and our 20 wedding guests blew bubbles all around us. It was the perfect wedding in Punta Cana in the Dominican Republic.

The Bride Ducky is wearing a heart shaped strapless wedding dress with a silver pearl necklace. She has a short veil with daisies weaved into it. The Groom Ducky is wearing a top hat and a vest, dress shirt and bow tie. He has a silver daisy pinned to his shirt.

Ducktors Without Ponds from Jasper

Interests: Africa is my favourite country to work in.
Where to Find: TreeHouse Toys and Gifts, Jasper, AB
Brand: Schylling
Price: $3.95 Cdn each

Breathe in, Breathe out.

I always thought it would be fun to be part of “doctors without borders.” I have travelled and volunteered a few times. Once in the Philippines and once on the way to Disneyland as part of a youth group trip. I want to travel with our kids and do volunteer trips. It’s nice to help people and learn about new cultures.

The Ducktor on the left is used to working in the dark, so that is why he is holding a flashlight in one hand and his stethoscope in the other. The duck on the right has quite the stick out wings and is wearing his stethoscope around his neck. Both ducks have the funny old-fashioned mirror headbands.

Mud Mask Ducky from Zydeco Gifts

Name: Mud Mask Ducky
Interests: Receiving full body mud plasters at the spa and then soaking in the mineral tub.
Where to Find: Zydeco Gifts
Brand: Schylling
Price: $3.95 Cdn 

  

A rejuvenating soak.

Mud Mask Ducky works fulltime as a criminal lawyer, so he appreciates his spa days. He is also a fan of body wraps. I have never gone for a body wrap treatment or a mud mask. My spa treatments usually involve massage or pedicures. Although, I did get a facial once. It would be fun to squeeze blackheads out of pores as your full-time job.

Mud Mask Ducky is wearing a small white towel on his head. I imagine it is the size that is placed on your head when a man goes into the spa for a shave. He has a green mud mask on his face.

Millcreek Pool Lifeguard Ducky from Edmonton

Name: Millcreek Pool Lifeguard Ducky
Interests: Keeping little kids safe all summer long.
Where to Find: Elephants Never Forget (no longer in business)
Brand: Schylling
Price: $4.50

Swim a lap to get a stamp so you can go in the deep end.

I remember the summer that my best friend and I spent the day at Millcreek Pool in Edmonton. We dove off the high diving boards many times, inhaled the sweet summer scent of sunscreen, purchased slurpees that the wasps invaded and dried off in the sun. My friend dried off a bit too much and sunburned her back really bad. Millcreek pool is down in the river valley and there isn't much shade. I can't wait to take my daughter to the pool this summer, but we are going to go in the evening so the UV isn't as high.

Millcreek Pool Lifeguard Ducky is wearing a blue ball cap so he doesn't get heat stroke. He also has on a red tank top and is holding a life preserver. There is also a whistle on a pink string around his neck.
