It's not every day that you get to write an article all about cosplaying ducks, so let's savour this magical moment while it lasts.

Some of the biggest names in video games, movies, TV shows, and comic book brands are represented, and each figure has its own individual pose to suit their character.

The figures are set to be released in regular waves and will retail for £12.99 / €14.99 / $12.99 (US) / $24.95 (AUD) / $16.99 (CAD) each. Here are all of the confirmed ducks so far:

Somehow, they have more personality than Funko Pops.
@TJWorks Yeah I would buy these over funkopops
These are actually kinda great. Don't exactly need a rubber duck myself, but there might a programmer or two out there that would love these on their desk.
Good concept, execution not as good - like Funko Pops, it'd be way better if they kept the faces of the existing character.
As Douglas Adams once said: “One is never alone with a rubber duck.”
I like that Ryu and Ken look like distinct moulds, not lazy repaints of each other
Love it, and know a few people who collect rubber ducks and like Crash, there's their christmas pressies sorted
@Noid
I don't know about that, they're rubber ducks.
I think it's better that they're rubber ducks that are in costume to represent a character, rather than actually having that character's facial features.
I mean at that point, you have Batman's head on a duck's body.
@TJWorks That's like saying butter bread is a better meal than dry bread. Really not much of an improvement. lol
Eh, I don’t know if these are worth $13. If they’re the size of a normal rubber duck, absolutely not. If bigger, I may consider some of them.
Yess! I am a lowkey duck collector and that N.Gin duck is amazing!
13 ponds for a duck is kinda quackers if you ask me. I’d be shocked if I bought one and saw that on my bill.
Maybe if they did a range from some of my favourite beak-em-ups, like Final Flight.
What a brilliant idea
Might get an N.gin duck for the bathroom
@WrongChops
13 ponds is just bread crumbs... waddle you talking about?
actually I might get the neo cortex one
eeeee rubber ducks
Tho are these actual rubber ducks? store pages list them as "figurines"
@Doktor-Mandrake
If they don't float in the bath... I'm not playing anymore! Wahhhhhhhhhh... 😭
that spyro one is pretty dang cool looking, also like the skyrim one lol.
These are amazing.
I've been wanting a Donald Duck Duck for years
These are more expensive than Pop figures are. WTF?
A lot of them are frowning... Why?

Welcome to the world of DuckTales everyone!
That is so dum-
Sees street fighter and LOTR
I'll take 10.
@Doktor-Mandrake
I think that you misunderstood me... that's my reaction!!! I really, truly hope that they float, like proper rubber ducks! Else I will be really disappointed and annoyed. I want them to be squeezy and floaty! I wasn't making fun of you.
