The Rubber Duck knows no frontiers, it doesn’t discriminate people and doesn’t have a political connotation. The friendly, floating Rubber Duck has healing properties: it can relieve mondial tensions as well as define them. The rubber duck is soft, friendly and suitable for all ages!

It’s already the mascot of the Richmond Night Market. They didn’t brand it “Magical Duck Island” for nothing. That said, definitely not the same as putting it in the water.
