Donald Duck

Donald Duck is a talking animal from the Disney Label continuity.

Doggone stubborn widdle WAA-AAK-AAK-AAK-AAK!

Donald Duck is an upright Earth waterfowl who often wears an antiquated sailor suit but never any pants (creepy). Like his associate Mickey Mouse, he possesses the power of speech, but his ability to articulate his thoughts verbally is decidedly more lacking than the rodent's. Quick-tempered and often violent, he has apparently been gifted with a transforming robotic vehicle to vent his unquenchable rage at an uncaring world. One again wonders who is presenting such technological marvels to talking animals.

Toys

Disney Label

• Donald Duck Holiday Vehicle (February 27 2010)
  • Accessories: Rocket-surfboard.

Though ostensibly an homage to Bumblebee, Donald Duck transforms into a Volkswagen Beetle that also bears a rather uncanny resemblance to Herbie the Love Bug. In robot mode, Donald features a snorkel mask which may be lowered over his eyes. A button on top of his hat makes his beak open and close when pressed.

Additionally, the toy features a surfboard accessory which may be mounted on top of the vehicle mode or ridden on by the robot mode. When the feet plug into the surfboard, it triggers an automorph gimmick that causes the engine block to flip up. The board can roll on four wheels, though they don't have very much clearance and you could risk scuffing the paint on the bottom of the board if rolled.

One of the most irritating Heartless enemies.

• Donald Duck Holiday Vehicle Monochrome (March 20 2010)
  • Accessories: Rocket-surfboard.

Like Mickey Mouse, Donald was also made available in grayscale to resemble old black and white Disney cartoons (ironic, given that Donald was rendered in color in his first appearance in 1934, although he did appear in a few black and white cartoons afterward). The only bits of color on the toy are on the driver figure, which keeps its orange beak and blue eyes.

When ghosts and goblins by the score ring the bell on your front door, You'd better not be stingy or your nightmares will come true!

• Donald Duck Holiday Vehicle Halloween Version (September 25 2010)
  • Accessories: Rocket-surfboard.

Again like Mickey Mouse, Donald was also made available in a Halloween-inspired orange and black deco with jack-o-lantern patterns and the works. The small driver figure now has blue feathers. He was exclusive to 7-11 stores in Japan, with a pre-order window opening on August 17, 2010.

Notes

• Daniel Ross provides Donald's voice for Mickey and the Roadster Racers, while Kōichi Yamadera voices him in all Japanese media.
