We make ducks you don't want to drop in the water —

you want to put them on a shelf.

The small ones go in a pocket. The large ones go in a lobby. All of them go on camera.

Custom development

Pick a colour from the Quacktory Pigment Menu. We tint the mass before moulding — not paint on top.

The Quacktory Pigment Menu

Body-through pigment, not surface paint. Predictable lead time, predictable price, no durability complaints. Fully arbitrary Pantone is a separate conversation as a new formula — add two weeks, add fifteen percent. Custom geometry is its own project, discussed individually.
