Two iconic shinobi from the Naruto universe are preparing to make a splash in a completely unexpected form: as rubber ducks.
Through an official announcement, renowned duck manufacturer TUBBZ has revealed that Kakashi Hatake and Sasuke Uchiha are joining its growing lineup of Naruto Shippuden collectibles, following in the footsteps of Naruto Uzumaki.
While transformed into bath-friendly toys, the figures retain the distinctive traits that fans have come to love. The Kakashi duck is instantly recognizable with his trademark white hair, mask, headband, and flak jacket, complete with him casually reading one of Jiraiya’s adult novels. Meanwhile, the Shippuden era Sasuke figure features his longer hairstyle, rogue outfit from his time aligning with Orochimaru, and his hypnotic Sharingan eyes.
TUBBZ offers these new releases in three distinct purchasing tiers:
- Collector’s Edition: Priced at $24.99, featuring premium packaging and an exclusive collector’s sticker.
- Boxed Edition: Priced at $20.99, housed in a sleek, stackable window display box.
- Mini TUBBZ Edition: A budget-friendly option priced at $9.99.
These figures add to TUBBZ’s expanding catalog of anime crossovers. Recent releases include Demon Slayer characters Tanjiro and Nezuko to celebrate the Infinity Castle movie, alongside figures from Chainsaw Man (Power) and Jujutsu Kaisen (Yuji Itadori and Satoru Gojo). The massive manufacturer lineup now boasts over 300 fictional characters spanning major franchises like Sonic the Hedgehog, Jurassic Park, The Lord of the Rings, and Avatar: The Last Airbender.
This merchandise drop arrives as excitement builds for the broader Naruto franchise, which is currently gearing up for a live-action movie adaptation spearheaded by Lionsgate and directed by Destin Daniel Cretton.
The Kakashi and Sasuke TUBBZ ducks are scheduled to hit the market this September, with pre-orders currently live on the official TUBBZ U.S. and international storefronts.
