What is the purpose of a rubber duck? To collect them!

I’ve seen a lot of bizarre Potter-related merchandise. From hats to trainers, you can dress yourself in Potter-themed clothing, shoes, accessories, jewellery, and bags. You can decorate most rooms in your house, using Snitch-covered sheets on your bed and a spatula with the Hogwarts crest on it to mix your Cauldron Cake batter whilst wearing your House-themed apron. You name it, there is a Potter-themed version of it on sale somewhere. Despite all of that, the rubber ducks caught me by surprise. Why rubber ducks in Hogwarts uniforms? I guess the answer is, why not?

If you like rubber ducks, or you own a Jeep, or both, you will be pleased to hear that there is now an officially licensed Harry Potter Hogwarts House TUBBZ range of rubber ducks featuring Gryffindor, Slytherin, Ravenclaw, and Hufflepuff unformed ducks in Collector’s, Boxed, and Mini Editions available at tubbz.com and tubbzus.com. Designed by Numbskull Designs, each edition comes with its own unique packaging featuring official Harry Potter style artwork.

I was not acquainted with TUBBZ before I saw the Potter ducks but, apparently, TUBBZ are no ordinary collectibles. Their officially licensed figures are designed to blend the essence of beloved characters with the whimsy of a rubber duck. Each TUBBZ duck comes housed in a bathtub-shaped display box, making them a standout piece for collectors.? 

Each figure captures the traits of its character with a touch of playful humour. There are now over 300 characters to collect from Sonic the Hedgehog, Jurassic Park, Jaws, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Resident Evil, Ghostbusters, DC Comics, Star Trek, Friends, The Hunger Games, Avatar: The Last Airbender, Dirty Dancing, Minions, Lord of the Rings, Tomb Raider and more! I cannot imagine having 300 hundred rubber ducks but, hey, why not? There are a lot weirder things to collect and they are playful.
