Designer rubber ducks: collectible ducks made to be displayed

Gladiatore, a detailed designer rubber duck dressed as a gladiator

A designer rubber duck is a duck made to be looked at. The paintwork is finer, the sculpt is more detailed, and it lives on a shelf, not in a bath.

Three ways we make them

Detailed Ducks

Our Detailed Ducks are larger and more carefully finished, with historical figures, film stars, explorers and original characters. A good example is Gladiatore, at €19.95.

Art Ducks

The Art Ducks are a numbered series of patterns, from stripes and swirls to abstract finishes, plus the Van Gogh and Rembrandt ducks at €19.95. The ceramic finishes, Ceramic Gold and Ceramic Blue, are €24.95.

The 8000s series

The premium end of the range: armour, helmets, a gold robot and two ceramic ducks. Heavier, more detailed and priced accordingly. See the 8000s series.

How to start a collection

Start with something you like looking at, not with the rarest. Add a duck from another series next to it, and let the shelf decide what comes next. Combine three or more and mix and match gives 10% off, and 15% off five or more. Read how to start a rubber duck collection, or see all Rubber Ducks for Collectors.
