Disco Duck

Inspired by the childhood toys thread, DH and I have been chatting about our favourite toys from years ago.

DH had Disco Duck.

Disco Duck was a cassette player with a mic attached (like the old Fisher Price Ones) but in the shape of a cartoon ducks head what the actual fuck ....

Now, I love an old nostalgia trip and was very intrigued so excitedly jumped in Ye Olde Google for a look, typed in every search word and key word I could think of yet nothing comes up AT ALL.

So... AIBU to suggest have already suggested to DH that this is something that he hallucinated thought up in his little head many moons ago and doesn't actually fucking exist in any space/time continuum and Disco Duck is a total figment of his imagination OR is there someone out there who knows what the hell he is talking about?! And can provide photographic evidence.

Help us MN you're our only hope! I am prepared to be told IAU by the way!

Disco Duck must've been the name his parents gave it GrinGrin

Ahh, he looks so happy there with Disco Duck!

Sadly I don't have a hot line to duck-shaped cassette players from the days of yore. I think I just googled duck cassette microphone and scanned through the images. That one was a pic from an old irish ebay listing, so it's not still available alas. But you could set an eBay alert in case a new one does pop up?

StewPots · 11/05/2017 22:56

Spotted Zebra GrinNo funnily enough there's just not the interest!

Yes that's a good idea actually I will do it because I love my DH but secretly hope the alert never sounds Wink

Thanks for your help, I knew MN would win out!

I don't want to be mean,but it doesn't even look like a duck. It just looks like a particularly happy square.

Disco Square doesn't sound jazzy enough though does it? Sad

SpottedZebra Haha it's ok, I told him it looks pretty ropey...the squarest Duck I've ever seen Grin
