The second Duck in Blackduck shown above is located at the Drake Motel. It is about five feet long and made of paper mache and wood. [map]

Duckmobile [gone]
Houston, TX
This Duckmobile came from the "Batman Returns" roller coaster at the now-gone Astroworld in Houston. I believe it is a replica of the one that the Penguin drove in the 1992 movie. This Duckmobile was parked next to this Drury Inn since at least 2008. These photos are from 2011. It disappeared around 2013. The original Duckmobile is or was located in Hollywood, CA.

This Rubber Duck in New Braunfels is installed on the roof of Got Toys. The store opened in 2012. There was another Got Toys with this statue in Gruene, TX. The statue is still there but the business is known as You Quack Me Up Toy & Gift Emporium. There was another location in Wimberley, TX which has closed. I don't know if the statue is still there. [map]

This Rubber Duck in Manitou Springs was installed in front of the Quacker Gift Shop in 2011. The location in Grand Lake, CO has a rubber duck inside. By 2024, the Manitou location had closed and this statue was gone.

This Rubber Duck float advertises for Vassar's annual Riverfest which includes a rubber duck race.

Rubber Duck [gone]
Oxnard, CA

This Rubber Duck was installed on the roof of Pacific Coast Re-Bath in 2015. The statue was produced in Los Angeles from durable foam. It was gone by 2016. In 2021, it returned with new eyes and eyelashes. It was displayed on top of a trailer in front of the store. In 2023, the statue was gone again.

Rubber Duck
Reno, NV
This 12-foot-tall Rubber Duck was created by Philippe Starck. It was originally painted silver and installed at the Sahara Hotel pool. In 2020, it moved to the Grand Sierra Resort and Casino in Reno where it was installed in 2021 next to the pool after being repainted. It was named Millie the Duck, after the resort's location on Mill St. There is or was another, smaller rubber duck at the Sugar Factory in Las Vegas, NV. For more, see these websites: 1 and 2.

Rubber Duck [gone]
S. Grand St.
Amarillo, TX		 Rubber Duck [gone]
Coulter St.
Amarillo, TX
Rubber Duck
E. Amarillo Blvd.
Amarillo, TX		 Rubber Duck
Colorado Springs, CO
These Rubber Ducks were built for Quick Quack Car Washes. The company was established in 2004 as the Splash & Dash Car Wash with the first location in Sacramento, CA. There are now more than 30 locations in Utah, Texas, California, and Colorado. This duck mascot is named Quackals. He also appears as a human dressed in a duck costume for promotions and special events. I don't know how many statues were built but I believe these were the only two in Amarillo. The Duck on S. Grand was gone by 2018 and by 2019 there was a different car wash chain there. The statue on Coulter St. was gone by 2018. The statue on E. Amarillo Blvd. was installed there around 2022. It was still there in 2024. This may have been the Duck that was on S. Georgia St. from 2018-2021. I believe there is/was only one statue per region and they are moved around. [map]

The Rubber Duck in Colorado Springs has been there since at least 2009. He is dressed in different hats for holidays. [map].

Daffy Duck
Volo, IL		 Daffy Duck
Casper, WY		 Daffy Duck and Bugs Bunny
Burbank, CA
This nine-foot-tall Daffy Duck statue in Volo was installed inside the Volo Auto Museum by 2017. It was originally a Warner Brothers store prop. Only two of these were made and this is the only one left. It was originally installed at a Warner Brothers store in Australia. The other statue which was displayed at the store in the World Trade Center in New York did not survive.

This Daffy Duck statue in Casper is installed in front of Sanford's Grub & Pub. There is also a Bugs Bunny statue here. These fiberglass statues are about 30 feet tall. These statues were originally installed in 1994 at the Warner Bros. Studio Store in Atlantic City, NJ. They were removed in 2001. There are about 10 Sanford's locations in WY, CO, SD, and ND. This is the only location with the statues. I believe it opened around 2007. [map]

These Daffy Duck and Bugs Bunny statues in Burbank are installed inside the Warner Brothers Studio Tour building. The statues were previously located outside across the street by 2007. [map]
