Toy brand TUD, also known as The Ugly Duck, has recently launched a collaborative edition paying tribute to the legacy of Michael Jackson. The creation, blending innovation with nostalgia, serves as a tangible homage to the King of Pop’s enduring influence. With 777 unique TUD vessels, each bearing the inscription “I am a homage to the King of Pop,” the brand emphasizes the transformative journey from adversity to success, inviting owners to actively participate in the rich musical history.

In addition to the Michael Jackson tribute, TUD has also honored legendary boxer Mike Tyson with a special edition. Tyson, reflecting on his journey from adversity to greatness, collaborated with TUD to create a limited quantity of 1000 ducks, available only in size M.


With each creation, TUD continues to celebrate creativity, individuality, and the power of collaboration.

Further expanding its collection, TUD has collaborated with Los Angeles artist Punk Me Tender to create the “Butterfly Duck.” Described as a symbol of eternal youth and rebellion, this piece embodies freedom and independence, transcending boundaries and stereotypes. Limited to 350 ducks, each with a unique serial number, the TUD x PunkMeTender edition is available in size L (90 cm), transforming into a collectible art object suited for any space.

In a statement, TUD expressed that these collaborations transcend mere toys, symbolizing the convergence of life philosophies into tangible art pieces. With each creation, TUD continues to celebrate creativity, individuality, and the power of collaboration.

Head to TUD’s official website to purchase the editions with prices ranging from $2,690 USD to $3,665 USD.
