While the Duckvengers by Loki, an artist based in Quaker Hill, Connecticut, may seem like a strange tribute to 'The Avengers' franchise for any fan, it simply combines two loves in one. For those with a true appreciation of the comic book heroes as well as an equal love for the traditional children's bath toy, it would only be natural that someone would be able to combine the two for a one-of-a-kind collection.
In this case, that someone is the founder of Duck and Cover, a shop offering a variety of cosplay rubber ducks. Duckvengers by Loki, who is also known as Spongekitty of deviantart and Ainsley Pinkowitz (his real name), is an excellent example of what people can expect from this shop.
