I bought this "little" guy to go on the back seat of my sports bike as a joke. Lone behold it brought many smiles to people in my mirrors, but at last... On a late night trip to the store he was lost at some point in time. I spent hours looking for this large rubber duck but my searches turned up empty. He was a good, Noble guard duck who stood through the Florida sun and rain. He will be missed RIP.

I bought this "little" guy to go on the back seat of my sports bike as a joke. Lone behold it brought many smiles to people in my mirrors, but at last... On a late night trip to the store he was lost at some point in time. I spent hours looking for this large rubber duck but my searches turned up empty. He was a good, Noble guard duck who stood through the Florida sun and rain. He will be missed RIP.
So my husband, the mature 25-year-old college graduate, full-time working man that he is, decided he needed this gigantic duck.
Why? Well, in the "coder" world, a world full of computer programmers and "languages" us mere mortals cannot comprehend, they talk to rubber duckies. That's right, that's something that they do.
On the oh-so-rare occasion that a programmer is stuck, which I've heard from insiders is not-so-rare, sometimes they will try to talk through their problems to an object. Specifically, the favored item of choice, is the rubber ducky. ("Rubber ducky, you're the one...")
I've heard that this has actually become a topic of conversation in the programmer world that people do indeed have opinions on. Some companies will give you a rubber ducky when you start with onboarding to talk to. Other companies, due to the fact that rubber duckies have been known to FLY (i.e. are thrown), have banned this technique.
So my husband, the overachiever that he is, has decided to take online courses on whichever coding languages the master computer science gods dictated he should. (Honestly, he was just brushing up on Python so far.)
Because of this, he decided that he, approaching frustrating problems AND taking them on voluntarily after hours, should have a rubber ducky to talk to. But not just ANY rubber ducky. This gigantic rubber ducky.
So, on our bedside table (because why not right), this little guy has found his home. He sits by our lamp - which I should add is a color changing lamp. Sometimes the ducky looks quite questionable in the red-light of the lamp...
So, overall review - my programmer husband LOVES the ducky and all of its mighty glory. I'm chill with sharing my home with it - just maybe not sitting next to a color-changing red light on red...
I'm an engineering student and we were required to have a partner for our lab. My partner was no better than a bag of sand. I bought this little guy and brought him to lab. The TA allowed the duck to be my partner for the rest of the semester and I ended up getting a 99% in the lab. I love this duck!!!
So my daughter has a collection of rubber ducks. And so I though why not get a giant one. At first she was skeptical but then she fell in love with it. What is didn’t know that is rubber duck does not squeak. It quacks. A hilarious quack. And so we would end up chasing my daughter through the apartment while having it quack at her.
I would not advise putting it in the bath tub. You can w e did. It’s just a little bit of a pain to get the water out of stuff gets inside. And it doesn’t really float up. But it’s adorable and my one year old loves it.

This is amazinggggg. I ordered a bunch of mini ducks that looked like this and on a whim decided to get them a mom. No reason. I don't have kids. I don't take baths. I just wanted a bunch of rubber ducks. When I got this, I was sooo surprised that it QUACKED. Ladies and gentlemen, this duck does not squeak, nay it QUACKS. Like a real duck! It's amazinggggggg. I love it. When I first discovered that it quacked, I couldn't stop squeezing it. I ran around the house chasing my dog with it for over an hour. She barked and growled at it like it was a real duck but was also terrified of it. It was hilarious, because one moment she was trying to kill it and then I quacked it and she ran away in fear. It was HILARIOUS and this has been the best $10 I ever spent.
My two-year-old son is in love with Rubber ducks. So for his second birthday, we decided to order him a bigger version. He was used to the standard size bath toys from Infantino. He still loves his smaller ducks because he can clutch multiple ones easily. But likes to play with them all together. Setting them up in groups, placing them all in a row, etcetera. While bigger this Jumbo duck is still easy for him to carry around. It doesn't float without tipping but he still had fun with it in his toddler pool. It makes a deep yet loud squeaking sound. Which my whole family finds amusing. It is easy for an adult to remove the small squeaker if the sound bothers you or you need to empty/clean the duck. He still plays with it months later and the quality is great. It is holding up without visible wear.

Purchased for our duck-loving toddler. It comes exactly as pictured: nice and bright and happy. While it does indeed squeak upon being squeezed, it is rather difficult to push it enough for the sound to come out. I have no problem but my daughter does.
Over the past 7 months, it has held up to: Tosses against the wall Bites Soggy milk kisses Crayons* Lipstick* * both of which I was able to clean off pretty well
I would recommend keeping it out of water. It does have a hole at the bottom, so water will be able to creep inside. Because, as I noted earlier, it's kind of hard to squeeze, I think you would probably have a hard time getting all of the water out. Other reviewers have noted that it doesn't float very well anyway.
My daughter just uses this as a toy, but I think it would make for a great centerpiece or other kind of party decoration. It seems light enough to work as a cake topper, too, but the cake would have to be pretty big!
I gave this a 4 out of 5 stars because I’ve read in the comments that it’s top heavy and does not float. When I ordered this I didn’t know it quacks when you squeeze it, so I got excited over that. I don’t like the “quack hole” is on the bottom of the duck. I bought this for my three year olds birthday. And I always glue the holes on his bath toys so water doesn’t get in and mold. I mean I can still do that with this one, but then it loses its quack. But it’s very cute. A great size. And I love the quack. So maybe this one won’t be for the tub. I can buy another and glue the holes shut for bath time. And probably glue a weight to the bottom since reading the comments that he doesn’t stay upright. Will be buying one for my niece. He’s a cute “little” duck!
He is absolutely what I expected and hoped for. But within the first 5 minutes of playing, the inner piece for his voice box fell out into him. He no longer makes an excellent ducky sound. I have spent at least 15 mins trying, and I have not been able to retrieve it. I may yet be able to get it with some good dental tweezers and a few hours' work, but this was a total buzzkill.

He's big, he's beautiful, and he made an excellent sound... for 3 minutes.

I was excited to get this to see my sons face. But when I peeled off the sticker on its chest, the ink remained. So it permanently says its made in china on the front of it. No clue why they wouldn't put it on the bottom to begin with. I tried washing it off and it remains there like an eye sore. My son at his age doesn't care, but it annoys me. This sticker made me look closer at the product and as i said, it is cute, but they could have done a little better. I noticed the beak color is blotchy and not well done and the body itself is lopsided and not smooth. I thought, ok well its for him not me. Put it in the water and it topples over because there is no weight balance! Yes it floats, but who wants a sideways duck? They couldn't test these and balance the weight? The head is too heavy, so why not put some kind of weight inside the tail? My son likes them looking at him and floating around and it cant do that simple task. And another thing, the squeaker is like a huge annoying dog toy and scared him and excited the dogs. Plus it slowly takes in water and you can't get it out unless you remove the squeaker.
