Post Archie McPhees and Devil Duckies

I was wondering if the Devil Duckies were sponsored or affiliated by this store in Seattle called Archie McPhees..

I was watching the travel channel and apparently this store is the biggest novelty store in America and they sell Devil Duckie figures. So I was just wondering about it.

Re: Archie McPhees and Devil Duckies

Team 1266 should definitely take a trip to Seattle to visit the Archie McPhee store! It's an institution here... all kinds of wacky stuff.

More Devil Ducky varieties can be found if you google for "archie mcphee devil duckies"

Re: Archie McPhees and Devil Duckies

I don't think so. They're from San Diego (1266, that is). Not saying it's not possible, as I know that 330 (SoCal) was sponsored by NASA Goddard (Maryland) for a few years, but not likely.

The store also isn't shown on their official sponsor list.

Re: Archie McPhees and Devil Duckies

They aren't sponsored by the Seattle store. They get their devil duckies from another novelty store down here in San Diego.

Re: Archie McPhees and Devil Duckies

I know Borders (of all places!) also sells Devil Duckies. I think one of them was in camo.

We actually get them from a wholesale store in Seattle. Archie McPhees doesn't sell their ducks at wholesale

Do you get them from Accoutrements, by chance? Accoutrements is the mail-order parent company of Archie McPhee.

Re: Archie McPhees and Devil Duckies

Yeah, but the Pig Catapult and any of the Bacon products already have a team. Oink Oink!
