6 Powerful TUBBZ for Powerful Women on International Women’s Day

Gone are the days when women in movies, TV shows, or video games were damsels in distress, waiting to be rescued. 

Now, many of the female characters we love, admire and cherish are more than capable of saving themselves - and others, too. It’s a sign of how onscreen reflects society as a whole, showing the progress towards gender equality.

There are many strong female character names that spring to mind, synonymous with power, strength and respect. On-screen women are well-rounded characters with in-depth personalities, strengths, weaknesses, desires, and fears, and they aren’t necessarily admired for how they look. 

While all female characters are worthy of recognition, some stand out more than others in their power and strength. For International Women’s Day on March 8th, TUBBZ celebrates six powerful female TUBBZ ducks that inspire us like the strong and powerful women in our lives.

1. Katniss Everdeen TUBBZ (The Hunger Games)

Suzanne Collins's The Hunger Games trilogy takes us on a chilling journey through a dystopian world controlled by the Capitol, where people struggle to survive while fighting for their loved ones. In a world steeped in traditional gender norms, Katniss Everdeen breaks free from the mould. She holds on to her true identity and values, challenging gender stereotypes. During a crisis and a fight for survival, she bravely takes on the role of protecting and providing for her family.

Our Katniss Everdeen TUBBZ captures the essence of this powerful female character as a cosplaying duck, retaining her strong, intelligent, and loyal qualities. If you’re a collector of The Hunger Games memorabilia or simply admire badass female leads, this Hunger Games collectable earns a rightful place on your shelf.  

2. Commander Shepard TUBBZ (Mass Effect)

There’s something special when players choose FemShep when playing Mass Effect. The fearless Commander Shepard is ever ready to command to protect the galaxy from the Reapers. In the Mass Effect universe, this lead female protagonist stands tall, fearlessly defending her race from the massacre of the sentient machines.

Our Commander Shepard (Female) TUBBZ (First Edition) is dressed in N7 armour and ready to lead the forces against any cosmic threat. Even as this duck avatar, she displays unshakable determination and leadership. 

Display FemShep on your shelves with pride while paying tribute to one of gaming’s greatest heroes.

3. Wonder Woman TUBBZ

You can’t write a list of strong female characters' names without adding Wonder Woman. She’s undoubtedly one of the most loved characters in the DC Comics universe. Living under the guise of Diana Prince, her exploits are celebrated across comics, TV series and live-action adaptations. Although she was originally written as the female counterpart to Superman, she has her own awesome and unique superpowers.

Even as a TUBBZ duck, Wonder Woman is extraordinary. The Gods of Olympus blessed our heroine with superhuman strength, a high pain threshold, and quick healing abilities to rival the best of the legendary male superheroes. She joins the other DC characters in the TUBBZ pond as a part of the TUBBZ boxed range. This Wonder Woman Boxed Edition TUBBZ is a must-have for her fans and DC Comics lovers.

4. Elphaba Thropp TUBBZ (Wicked)

Despite her special, superhuman gifts, Elphaba Thropp is a relatable character. Her strength isn’t restricted to her magical powers; she’s opinionated and stands up for what she believes is right. Completely different from Glinda and the others, she chooses to shun success for something she truly believes in. 

An inspiration to both men and women, Elphaba owned the confidence and strength to be herself, no matter how others perceived her. Our Elphaba Thropp TUBBZ epitomises the same strength and sense of self. As a mini TUBBZ, this powerful magical duck is all ready to own your shelf space. 

5. Glinda Upland TUBBZ (Wicked)

Glinda holds the title of the oldest and most powerful sorceress in the Land of Oz, a leadership role that’s usually left to male characters. Her patient and kind nature doesn’t show weakness but strength and authority. Although she has unique powers, she never resorts to violence or show of ego, thanks to her decisive nature.

Our Glinda TUBBZ is all that and more. In our collection of Wicked merchandise, Glinda TUBBZ stands tall with her flowing blond hair, pink gown, sparkling tiara and diamond-tipped wand. Her beautiful looks complement her formidable and helpful nature. Check out our complete range of Wicked merchandise, from Glinda to Elphaba, in multiple quacktastic cosplaying duck collectable forms.

6. Jill Valentine TUBBZ (Resident Evil)

No mention of the Resident Evil franchise is complete without Jill Valentine. She’s celebrated for her heroism, fighting and sheer resistance against bioterrorism and the Umbrella Corporation.

Now she’s metamorphosed into a badass yet cute TUBBZ cosplaying duck in her new role of restoring peace and justice to the ducky pond ecosystem. Standing 9 cm tall, our Jill Valentine TUBBZ (Boxed Edition) retains her S.T.A.R.S. officer credentials and her penchant for carrying a range of weapons like pistols, handguns, grenades and specialised equipment. 

With her highly detailed features, take special pride in showcasing this female TUBBZ collectable on your shelf.
