THE TOYLAND EXPRESS is proud to name the Duck of the Year 2008 as Ducky Mallard. The award each year goes to the most influential duck in Toyish life, and in the opinion of the judges, Miss Mallard surpassed all other competitors to take the title at the start of 2009.
Ducky faced competition from other Toyland ducks including Mayor Puddleduck of Smallvania, and his daughter and day-pupil at the Bunnage nursery Jemima Puddleduck. Probably the biggest, if not in size, competitor to Ducky's title was Kaitlin Cooper's pet duck Edward Wafflington.
'It's been a big year for ducks,' commentator Mick Reindeer said. 'We've seen ducks in all walks of life, as pets and Mayors, as Bostonians, Smallvanians and probably also Oldsvillians. But Ducky Mallard continues to be by far the most well known duck that Emily owns.'
Despite this success ducks have undergone some problems over the course of 2008. Mayor Puddleduck lost the mayoral election to Lucas Gabriel, a human Bratz doll, and unverified rumours suggest Emily's family ended the year with a meal of cooked duck.
Ducky Mallard wins this award for his multiple achievements this year including going on every single holiday Emily went on, maintaining his house at the top of the bed, and enjoying several spurts of overtaking Marissa Cooper as the most-tagged character on The Toyland Express. Ducky finished the year in France, as pictured above, flying skiing toys around the Alps including the Cooper sisters and new Jellycat Stella Nightingale.
Ducky's Mum, also a duck, was said to be 'especially proud', beaming to reporters utterly speechless with some fresh lipstick on, her McDonald's label proudly displayed. Ducky's Fairy Godmother, who hangs from Emily's ceiling in Boston, sprinkled glitter over Ducky's soft spherical head to congratulate her.
In the past Ducky has shown tremendous bravery over several past operations including a double heart bypass and a voice transplant, as well as a restuffing. She starts 2009 with toys finally universally calling her a girl and with the correct 'she' and 'her' pronouns. She returned to her studies at the Duckdale Academy yesterday.
Past winners of the Duck of the Year award include Edd the Duck.
Ducky is four years old.
