If your name was not attached to it, I would swear someone is punking us.

I work for Disney, and I still have a hard time believing this one. Even we can't make that stuff up.

One customer review said: 'I love playing chess and I collect rubber ducks, so this really is the best of both worlds for me! The pieces are as cute as they can be and are very sturdy plastic.'

The worlds gone duck/chess mad 😲
