Final Fantasy’s Chocobo Goes Rubbery, Ducky
9:20AM Michael McWhertor | Foremost Final Fantasy fowl the Chocobo has been many things, but I’m frankly surprised it’s taken Square Enix this for it to be a suitable rubber ducky replacement, as is the Uki Uki Chocobo. The feathered friend flotation device measures 2.95″ x 3.54″ x 3.54″, according to importer National Console Support, and ships in mid-April. Uki Uki Chocobo follows the precious design style of the Chocobo’s Mysterious Dungeon series for the low, low price of $US 13.50. Five bucks that Phil Harrison’s already put in for a gross. Friends and relatives should never again moan that I’m too hard shop for, for this is all one would need to make bath time fun again. That and bubbles.

Very good! I’m beginning to worry that my life-long love of Final Fantasy was really just a life-long love of chocobos that disguised itself up until Final Fantasy Fables: Chocobo Tales came out on the DS. The tingly feeling I got as I grinned a dimple-revealing grin while watching this Japanese trailer for Chocobo’s Dungeon: Toki-Wasure no Meikyuu for the Wii only serves to confirm my fears. *violently sweeps Final Fantasy figures from bookshelf to the floor* My life is a lie!
