There was a time when my duck collection looked something like this.

That's around half my ducks -- the rest are in boxes. I just got the little risers for them; it makes the ones in back more visible, but now they sort of look like they'e in a grade school play, about to burst into song.

Wow! That's impressive. :D

Two words come to mind..."professional help" :-)

Wow! That's a lot of ducks! I see a few in there that I have and a few that are on my Rubber Ducky Wishlist and a few other that are completely new to me! On the third shelf down, on the left, is that a duck with a gas mask?! And the one that looks like a cat is cool too!

I'll have to post photos of my much smaller duck collection in their newly painted yellow bathroom soon!

Wow. Do any of them get to swim in the bath with you?

*sings*

Rubber Duckie, you're the one
You make bathtime lots of fun
Rubbie Duckie, I'm awfully fond of you.
Do-do-do-dee-oh!

You have a duck collection? How did I miss this before? Pictures!

The Halloween kitty is from Cost Plus -- for the last couple of years they've had a lot of holiday ducks. That's where I got the Frankenducks, witch and cat, reindeer and Santa, and a duck in a bunny suit for Easter. (They're not all in that display, but I'm currently working on a website that will have pictures of absolutely everything.)

I got the gas mask duck on eBay, and I've never seen another, which is a bit of a relief since I paid way too much for it. PriceHot has every other army duck from Toysmith, but not this one. I hope they don't get it, so I can continue to say, "Oh yes, that's a very rare duck, totally justifies what I paid." Or it might be available in every British toy store, for all I know.

I'm definitely curious about which you have/want, and what kind of ducks you collect. For the ones that are on your wishlist, I can probably tell you where to find them...

Yes I have a small ducky collection. Your ducky icon was actually what first grabbed my attention when I saw a comment of yours in

kimatha's journal.

I've gotten a few holiday ones from Cost Plus and have seen several neat ones online that I like (especially the Pride duck). I hadn't heard of Price Hot but WOW! that's a lot of ducks! And some really neat ones too.

So far I just get ones that are different or spark some interest for me. (Portia even donated an Omar Vizquel celebriduck.) My wishlist consists of ones I've found online that I just haven't bought yet - the dead duck and the Pride duck are at the top. That list has grown considerably since visiting your link, but I was bummed to see the Yankees one is sold out!

I started off with some cute rubber ducky stuff in an apartment bathroom and it has just evolved from there. I've seen some cute ones on eBay but they can get pretty pricey and I never bid much on them.

I've posted a link to some photos and descriptions of my ducks in my journal.

oooooooooh, duckies....lets take a bath!

Hi, I saw you over at hummingbird forum, and that you're also local, howdy! I also sorta have a duck collection only they are decoys. Perhaps we can trade hummingbird plants someday!
