I bought a bunch of these flying animals for kids xmas gifts and the duck is up with the monkey for the best. It actually sounds like a quack (unlike the pigs sad oink) and flys almost as far as the monkey, but further than the others. This is better for olders kids and adults as the beak gives a larger spot for your finger(s) when launching. We did have 1 break, but it was drowned in a water dish, so the kids were to blame. All the others have held up to much fun. We liked them so much we kept several ourselves.

Yes it is true, these $3 toys are not the most durable, but they sure are fun! I bought the monkey for my brother in Iraq and the guys love him. My dog and I play with the duck. She is a 60 lb Weimarener and LOVES this toy. She doesn't get to chew on it but we play fetch with it everyday. We have had it since May and unlike other dog toys that cost $10 and lasted one afternoon, this guys is STILL with us. His head is a little loose, but he still files and quacks! I am ordering more one for the office and a couple for the dog, the duck need a break.

FUN is an understatment, after seeing one of these on vacation, I bought 10 of them to give away to friends. This flying Duck and the Flying Monkey (which I also bought) were the unexpected fun of the party. Constantly proving to be unexpected fun as it screeched and landed near friends, we all had so much fun with it. An inexpensive, fun TOY , highly recommend for adults and children, but adults LOVE it

I bought these as stockings stuffers for the grown kids. I only ordered the monkey and the duck. Wish I would have ordered more, for the price, they would be fun to have around the cube farm, or let the dog play with in the yard.

This flying duck is a perfect silly/annoying gift. It can be used as a gift for kids or adults who have not lost their childlike side. I had a lot of fun launching it several times to see how it works, and I have been greatly satisfied. I have never engaged in launching real live ducks, but I cannot imagine that the experience could be any more satisfying than what I had felt while launching this toy. If used at work, the toy is guaranteed to permanently destroy any impression of maturity you have been working so long to cultivate. Depending on the industry that you work in, this may be a curse or a blessing. (In software engineering it is definitely the latter.)

Overall, the toy is of pretty good quality, although I suspect over time the rubber band will wear out and it doesn't seem like it's possible to replace it.

The shipping was very prompt and the package arrived exactly two business days after I had it ordered on Amazon.

After about 5 shots the pockets where you insert your fingers ripped. Definitely not made for durability and doesn't last. I've read comments on other websites where they are broken fairly quickly. I wouldn't pay over $3 for it and don't over-stretch it.

*On a positive note, it's best use was for scaring or waking up people who didn't expect it to come flying & quacking by... :)

We launched about 3 times and then the head came right off, poor quality, waste of money.

Bought several of these for some of my nephews and neices, and they loved them. We ended up playing a game of seeing who could shoot their animal into a hula-hoop on the ground 20 feet away. When some neighborhood kids saw this, they wanted to play too.

I received one of these originally at a conference and brought it home for our puppies. They go absolutely nuts over this and the monkey. I've never seen our puppies so excited over anything besides these toys. That said, the quality and durability as a kids toy would be good, but the puppies chew into it fairly fast. These are really fun to fly across the room!

I bought these ducks as gifts for my grandkids to represent a charitable donation in their names. I wasn't expecting much because they are inexpensive but was pleasantly surprised that they are very cute and fun for the kids. They shoot clear across the room and the quacking is adorable! The dog loves to chase after them too. I bought 11 and so far haven't had any of the heads fall off as others have experienced. They are just the right size and plush enough for little ones to cuddle. A definite thumbs up for me!
