Information about the artwork: 

Taking inspiration from the essence of Chupa Chups, which is known for its famous lollipops and forever fun philosophy, The Ugly Duck imbues the toys with the same sense of imagination and delight. By incorporating elements like the Chupa Chups iconic logo, Salvador Dali's flower motif, and the distinctive wrapping patterns, TUD encapsulates the essence of the beloved confectionery brand. TUD’s collaboration with Chupa Chups is more than just a partnership, it's a celebration of embracing the inner child and finding joy in everyday life. Just as unwrapping a Chupa Chups lollipop takes us back to careless and happy times, our TUD art toys aim to evoke those resembling feelings of nostalgia and wonder.

The TUD x Chupa Chups collaboration features two delightful flavors: Eggstraw (strawberry) and Duckberry (blueberry, grape, and bilberry), each encased in a candy-like caramel wrapping reminiscent of the iconic lollipop. With customizable prints on each duck, TUD becomes a unique expression of individuality and excitement. As a tribute to their commitment to quality and innovation, TUD incorporates high-quality plastic and recycled materials in the production of every art toy. Additionally, each piece comes with a built-in NFC tag for authenticity verification, ensuring that collectors receive a genuine TUD x Chupa Chups creation.
