71. Muppets From Space’s Rubber Duck

Also Appears In: Sesame Street
Estimated Savings: $5-$10*

Muppets from Space was filmed in the late 1990s, and it featured the classic children’s characters on an extraterrestrial adventure to learn about Gonzo’s past. Fans of the movie will remember a rubber duck from the film, and that rubber ducky had another appearance on the small screen of Sesame Street.

The rubber duck in Space was the same one that Ernie owned on Sesame Street, something that was, no doubt, an intentional nod to the Muppets’ fellow children’s franchise. The rubber duck was treasured by both characters in the movie and TV show, both of which were quite successful.
