Would you be surprised if we told you that Psyduck is one of Pokémon series director Junichi Masuda's favourite Pokémon? The clueless, dopey yellow duck has a legion of fans for his often confused demeanour in the Pokémon anime. Psyduck is actually a very intelligent Pocket Monster, we'll have you know! Nonetheless, Misty's own little friend has inspired a range of merchandise over the years. But we think we might have found the best.
For Children's Day on 1st June, KFC China is running a promotion where any kids meal come with a free Pokémon toy — either a Pikachu or a Psyduck. And look, Pikachu is cute, but we think KFC China has done a fab job with the duck Pokémon.
weplayswitch on TikTok shared all of the goodies you can get from KFC China at the moment, and honestly, they're all pretty adorable! But Psyduck is absolutely the star of the show because it dances.
KFC’s Children’s Day toys 🧸 soo cute☺️#pokemon #pikachu#psyduck #pokemongo #pokemontiktok #pokemonfan #funnyvideos #funnytoys #viral #fyp #foryou #child
One thing we want to say is that these are pretty darn big for fast food promotional toys. Niko Partners analyst Daniel Ahmad (@ZhugeEX) has shared a video of the little fella on Twitter, which gives you a good look at the little (big?) one's moves. Watch it go!
From the water-type Pokémon bopping up and down to him twisting left and right, Psyduck has understandably captured the hearts of many — especially with the way it moves its hands up and down. These fancy dance moves have lit up Chinese social media, and the dancing duck has gone viral with fans' creative interpretations for the duck. We're going to share some of our favourites here.
First, this Psyduck makes itself very useful in the courtroom — perhaps we'll see them in the next Ace Attorney game?
Someone has strapped Mecha wings to their Psyduck, making the ultimate Pokemon killing machine. Is this inspiration for Pokemon Scarlet & Violet's next gimmick?
Others have dressed up their Psyduck in different outfits, complete with plaid-print scarves, flower crowns, and hula girl skirts.
🤣🤣awesome 😂😂🔥🔥🔥#psyduck #pokemon #pokemontiktok #pokemonfan #pokemongo #toys #funnyvideos #fypシ゚viral #fyp #childhood #foryou
Or perhaps just a small army of Psyduck toys is all you need for a slice of joy every morning.
There are tons of these videos going around on social media right now — but the toy's popularity has, unfortunately, had some dire consequences. As Daniel Ahmad shared above, because the toy is so popular and KFC stores across China are running out, people have started listing the toy on eBay for over $100, with the most expensive being $120 plus $25 shipping. It's cute, but it's not that cute.
Still, these lovely videos will be enough to keep us going for a few days longer. If you want some more Psyduck merchandise, can we interest you in a Psyduck teapot/watering can?

That’s a fast food toy? It’s huge!!
I am just imagining some poor worker having to heft a few of these out the window along with bags of food. Because I am sure they got hit with minivans full of scalpers and kids.
It should use this song to promote Kentucky Fried Chicken. 🤭
I always knew Psyduck was destined for Broadway.
Massive fan of the Ace Attorney one, simply for how well it vibes to the music. If a parrot can be a witness, what's stopping a duck?
@Fizza A headache, I would guess!
For real though I love this thing, it's adorable.
Wow that’s an amazing meal toy. In the UK free plastic toys with happy meals etc are now banned so all we get now is a cardboard piece of junk or a small soft toy. So jealous!
The US would never get anything this cool 😔
Guess I am ordering KFC tomorrow then...
Ok honestly for being a free gift to kids, it actually looks quite large and high quality. If I can actually find it, I might just cop it
We never got this in the US. 😭
Coolest McDonalds toy US ever got was the mini Beanie Babies.
That seems like it would be decently expensive to manufacture to just...give away with every purchase. I can only assume this is Nintendo going all-in in an attempt to cash in on China's less strict gaming regulations.
@Lord I know. It’s really sad how they’ve taken away all ours kids fun.
I remember a few years back I went to Burger King, bought my kids some kids meals then found no toys. I went to the counter and said, “my kids meals didn’t come with toys.”
The woman at the counter replied, “We don’t do toys anymore.”
I asked why and she replied, “to save the planet, duh.”
I’ve never gone to Burger King since. Lol
At least McDonald’s provides something. It’s a far cry from the glory days, but the video game themed stuff is still fun.
As a 30 year old man who hates McDonald's I have to say I would probably swing by to get a happy meal for this... tell them I have a kid or something
@Not_Soos well they are not giving it away for free. They make up the money from the slightly pricier toy with selling more meals. Also remember the food is fake junk that is CHEAP.
I usually hate articles that are just "Look at these 50 Twitter posts I saw! Journalism!" But I do appreciate there was some actual research and background with this one. Gives it much needed context. Little guy is pretty darn cute.
How much was the meal if they gave a huge toy like this?!
@Gravitron You really missed the glory days of kids toys at Mcdonalds. I remember the range of transforming Mcdonalds food into robots. I personally also enjoyed the Mcnuggets that were kinda like Mr. Potato head for Halloween. I am still mad my Mom tossed them out.
Amazing... And that comes with a meal at no extra charge?
@Anti-Matter How did you embed a YouTube video on to the comments? I really would like to learn to do that too, please.
Also, to stay relevant to the topic here, do the Pikachu toys even do anything? If the Psyduck toy is the only one that moves then it definitely is the best happy meal toy in history (specially considering how huge it is)
@Chibi_Manny Oh, just copy the link from YouTube. Click Share on YouTube then choose copy link. Paste the link on here directly, it will be displayed as ready to play video.
@Anti-Matter umm... that method didn't quite work out for me. But i went into NL forums and found out how so i know how to do it now. Thanks for the help though, I really appreciate it! 😃
Your images aren't showing and I don't have a Twitter account so I don't think I can see them on the website or the downloadable Twitter program either.
