Plucka Duck plush toy

'Plucka Duck, Plucka Duck ... he’s not a chicken or a cow. Plucka Duck, that’s him right now!' That's the theme song for TV variety show Hey Hey It’s Saturday’s wild and unpredictable Plucka Duck segment. So, what was a Plucka? Just a guy in a huge, fluffy white duck suit – originally brought to life by Mark McGahan (later Simon Lefebvre). His mission? To stir up mayhem, cause a ruckus and hand out prizes to lucky contestants. 

This plush toy from the '90s is a quirky reminder of Plucka’s peak popularity. In 1997, he scored his own spin-off show, Plucka’s Place, and even landed a Logie nomination for Most Popular Comedy Personality. Sure, the toy can’t capture Plucka’s live-wire antics. Still, for fans, it’s a nostalgic nod to a beloved character and a loud, feathered moment in Aussie pop culture that saw Plucka's popularity rival that of his co-star, Ossie Ostrich.
