Duck Fadar is the ultimate gift for Star Wars fans.
Place the Glow in the Duck in the bath and watch the water-activated
LED bulbs light up and change colour inside the duck. The
light goes out when the duck is removed from the water. May
the force be with you in the bath, pond or pool...
If
you know a sci-fi fan who owns just about everything Star
Wars related, then the Duck Fadar (be careful how you
pronounce that) rubber duck could be the ideal gift. It won't
break the bank and is sure to brighten up bath times - and
could even be used to entice young children into the bath
more regularly.
When
you place this in the water its belly and eyes glow, with
the colour changing as it bobs around. I did seem to have
a slight problem with mine in that it seemed to be oddly weighted
more to one side. This had the undesired result that it would
topple over fairly easily.
There
is something almost hypnotic about this item. I could have
sat in the bath for ages just watching the colour changing.
Duck
Fadar consist of a sealed unit containing batteries and LED
bulbs. According to the blurb on the back of the box the battery
lifetime of the duck is about 45 hours use - this is the equivalent
of 180, fifteen minute baths. The
only problem I had with this is that the unit is sealed (with
what appears to be glue) and the instructions claim that the
battery is none replaceable. The odd thing is that the bottom
looks like it would come off, if someone hadn't glued it shut.
I've bought items like this before where it is claimed that
it is not possible to replace the battery, but after dismantling
them I've discovered that this was obviously just a ploy to
get you to go back and buy another one once the battery has
died.
To
be perfectly honest though, you should own a dozen or more
of these and sit in the bath with the lights off. About the
best fun you can have in the bath... alone... possibly.
