CelebriDucks Interview with SmallBusinessWeekOnline.com
SmallBusinessWeekOnline.com did an interview on the conception of CelebriDucks past, present and future.
Bruce Lee, the legend, is a CelebriDuck
Bruce Lee is to me the greatest martial artist of our time. I have always been fascinated by what a remarkable person he was. It saddens me that too many people don’t fully realize just how extraordinary this man was. Years ago when our company was developing, I very much wanted to add Bruce to the l
ine. At the time all his licensing was handled by Universal Studios. Unfortunately, we were a young company and weren’t able to work out the financial details of a licensing deal that was acceptable to both parties.
Years later, I got an e-mail from the estate of Bruce Lee asking us if we would be interested in working together. They actually explained that Shannon, Bruce’s daughter, had always wanted Bruce to be a part of our line, but since the licensing was done by Universal it wasn’t possible for them to intercede at that time. But now that Shannon had taken over all the licensing we very easily and quickly came to an agreement and as you can see, Bruce Lee, the legend, is now a CelebriDuck.
If you have any doubts about the extraordinary abilities of this man, just watch this clip below. It is simply amazing. I very much hope that more people will be inspired to watch the films and old footage of this master. We can all learn so much from him in terms of a human being’s physical and mental capabilities.

A few weeks ago, I was watching Gene Simmon’s Family Jewels and Gene was in Memphis at the famous Peabody Hotel where they have real ducks living in the penthouse who come down every day on the elevator to be led by the Duckmaster across the carpet. It’s really On this episode, Gene was the honorary Duckmaster and he like all others receive an actual Duckmaster CelebriDuck as part of the ceremony. Gene carried it and brought it outside with him which was really nice. As you know Gene in his KISS attire is part of our line and one of our favorite rubber duck creations. |

| The Teen Choice Awards are being held poolside this year and they asked for our ducks to be given out and put in the pool. So that should be a lot of fun!

One of the biggest questions we get asked is if we will be adding Michael Jackson to our line. Actually, we have been working with his licensing people in Germany the last few weeks and have an initial contract. If we can work out the details, we plan to add him this September.
