Summary
A ball-shaped soft toy duck manufactured by 'RC2 Brands Inc' for a young child which 'surprises baby with silly sounds every time it moves' (circa 2007). The sounds are activated by pressing the toy's left leg, and then every time the toy is moved it giggles and shouts 'yippee', etcetera. Its body, beak and head feathers are made from plush fabric, yellow for the body, orange and red for the beak and green for the feathers. Its eyes are embroidered in black and white, its eyebrows in black. The undersides of its wings, the underside of its tail and its legs are made from polyester fabric, blue with green spots on the wings, tail and feet and red and orange stripes on the legs. Apart from the tail, these are filled with a substance that feels and sounds like it is plastic.
