Rub-a-dub-dub. Bathtime wouldn't be bathtime without your little friend. No. Stop thinking that thought. This is something different entirely; something we at gadgetshop HQ have cherished since our mis-spent childhoods. For where, we ask, would we be without our rubber duckies?

Now today, of course, when everything is digitised and the analogue world is a fading memory, a bog standard inanimate rubber duck just won't do. What you need is a digi-duck. A self-propelled duck capable of 360 degree movement that responds to your every whim. A duck that spins around on demand. Enter Remote Control Duck, in solid waterproof rubber.

This is an aquatic bird that will banish bathtime blues once and for all - a bird that your children - or perhaps even your grown-up chums - will be falling over themselves to play with again and again. It's easy to see why. RC duck has the standard duck appeal: innocence, biddability and a cutesy face. But he also has extreme mobility, thanks to two discreet propellers at his rear - which enable him to be steered independently left and right - or should that be port and starboard?

The Remote Control Duck. Nautical but nice.
