The Epic Duck series is Roblox's family of duck-themed items, and it started as an April Fools' Day prank in 2009. Five members are classic Limiteds, meaning items Roblox no longer sells that have a fixed number of copies players resell and trade. The one everyone knows is the Rubber Duckie, given away free in March 2009 and now sitting at 37,081 copies. The priciest is the Evil Duck Roped, a 1,002-copy quacking scooter with a RAP of 21,924 Robux. Everything else was either sold openly at ordinary catalog prices or handed out on a gift card, so the tradeable part of this series is small and cheap by classic-Limited standards.
Quick answer: The Epic Duck series has five classic Limiteds. Evil Duck Roped leads on price with a 21,924 RAP, followed by Epic Duck Roped, Epic Duck Racer, Rubber Duckie and The Tale of EPIC DUCK. The Rubber Duckie is the famous one, free in 2009 and the most-owned item in the family.

What is the Epic Duck series? Roblox's April Fools duck line, running since 2009
The whole thing grew out of one hat that kept changing. On March 27, 2009, Roblox published a free hat called the Mysterious Purple Box. Over the next few days that same asset shifted through a red box, a yellow box, and a box covered in seemingly random pictures whose first letters spelled "duck." On April 1 it turned into a giant rubber duck, and community records of the event describe ducks flooding games across the site that day.
That is why the Rubber Duckie's catalog description still reads "Proud scion of EPIC DUCK. Let us always remember the laughter!" The duck itself was the joke. The hat is the souvenir.
Roblox kept pulling on the thread. A book hat came out two days later, a racing helmet showed up as a contest prize in 2010, an evil twin arrived in 2011, and the line has picked up a new duck every few years since.
Unlike recolor lines such as Sparkle Time or Bluesteel, most Epic Duck items were never sold normally. Free giveaways, a contest, gift cards and short flash sales account for the majority of the members.
Every Epic Duck Limited, ranked by value
Five members carry Limited status. The table is ordered by trader consensus on street value, the rough price experienced traders agree an item is worth. RAP is Recent Average Price, Roblox's smoothed running average of an item's sale history. The lowest resale ask is the cheapest copy anyone has listed, which traders call the floor. Figures are from RBX Invest catalog data as of September 2026.
| Item | Released | Copies | RAP | Lowest resale ask |
|---|---|---|---|---|
 Evil Duck Roped |
Sep 2015 | 1,002 | 21,924 | 18,500 |
 Epic Duck Roped |
Jun 2014 | 1,002 | 16,818 | 12,850 |
 Epic Duck Racer |
May 2010 | 1,436 | 11,277 | 14,219 |
 Rubber Duckie |
Mar 2009 | 37,081 | 7,166 | 7,500 |
 The Tale of EPIC DUCK |
Apr 2009 | 3,685 | 4,018 | 3,500 |
Value order and RAP order agree here, which is normal for a family that still trades regularly. The only gap is the Rubber Duckie, where consensus street value sits a little above its RAP.
Notice the shape of the list. The two newest items are the two most expensive and the oldest is fourth. Supply sets price on Roblox, and the two roped gears have roughly one copy for every thirty-seven Rubber Duckies.
Rubber Duckie: the free 2009 hat that became a Limited
Roblox's catalog data lists the Rubber Duckie as created on March 27, 2009 with an original price of zero, matching community records that say it was free for about a week before going offsale. Offsale means Roblox stopped selling it, though at that point it was still an ordinary hat. Community records date its switch to Limited status to March 31, 2011, roughly two years later, a pattern we cover in our guide to offsale items going Limited.
The result is the strangest supply in the family: 37,081 copies, five times the other four Limiteds combined, and 100,655 favorites, the highest count of any Limited here.
You'd expect a hat that plentiful to be worthless. The floor is 7,500 Robux against a 7,166 RAP, which puts it ahead of roughly half the classic Roblox hat Limiteds in our catalog, 776 of the 1,551 we track. Name recognition keeps a steady bid under it. That also makes it a good first classic Limited, because the market is deep enough to sell into without waiting weeks for a buyer.
The Tale of EPIC DUCK: a book hat about the prank
Two days after the ducks landed, Roblox published a hat shaped like a storybook telling what happened. Roblox's catalog data confirms an April 3, 2009 creation date and a 50 Robux price. Community records say it sold for about ten days, then went Limited on the same day as the Rubber Duckie in 2011.
It is the cheapest Limited in the series at a 3,500 floor and a 4,018 RAP, and at 3,685 copies it is genuinely scarcer than the Rubber Duckie by a factor of ten. That gap tells you something useful about how this market prices things: name recognition beat rarity by almost 2 to 1. The duck is iconic, a book about the duck is a footnote. Its description still credits a player by username, which was normal long before the modern creator program existed.
Epic Duck Racer: the 2010 contest prize
The Racer is a helmet with a duck riding on top. Roblox's catalog data shows it created on May 17, 2010 at a price of zero, and community records say it went to users who scored highly enough in a building contest that year. Nobody bought it, which is why 1,436 copies exist and no more ever will. Of the five, this one has the cleanest scarcity story: a fixed contest pool, no sale, no restock, and a supply that has not moved in sixteen years.
Its floor of 14,219 sits above its RAP of 11,277. When the cheapest ask is higher than the running average, the cheap copies have been cleared out and the holders left are not in a hurry, so treat the ask as the live price. Our guide to reading Roblox price charts covers that pattern.
The roped gears: two 1,002-copy scooters that quack
Gear is Roblox's term for an equippable item you use inside an experience rather than wear on your avatar, and a Ro Ped is Roblox's scooter gear line. The two duck Ro Peds are the priciest things in the family. Both are Limited Unique, meaning every copy carries a serial number showing where it came in the run, and our explainer on Roblox Limited serial numbers covers what a low one is worth. Both also quack: their descriptions tell you to hit H for a quack and Q to make it rain ducks, which puts them alongside the other Roblox items that make sound.
Epic Duck Roped
Created June 30, 2014 and sold at 500 Robux per Roblox's catalog data, with 1,002 copies in our records. It carries a 16,818 RAP against a 12,850 floor, the widest discount to RAP in the family. On a thin market, a floor well under RAP is either a seller who wants out or a genuine deal, and the Deals feed exists to flag that kind of gap. You need a signed-in account to use it. Anyone who bought at launch is up roughly 25x on the sticker price before fees.
Evil Duck Roped
The same idea in black, with horns. Created September 25, 2015 at 500 Robux, also 1,002 copies, and its description calls it "the most sinister roped yet." At a 21,924 RAP and an 18,500 floor it is the most expensive item in the series, beating its yellow sibling by about 30% on identical supply. The evil variants have always carried a premium here, and the Evil Duck design has a following of its own that predates both gears. Both Ro Peds sit in the classic gear collection if you want to see where they rank against other gear Limiteds.
Which Epic Duck items are not Limiteds? Most of them
Several duck items look collectible and are not. A non-Limited item can be reprinted, gains nothing from scarcity, and cannot be traded. Roblox's live catalog confirms the status of each one below.
Evil Duck is the big one.
Roblox created it on March 30, 2011 and sold it for a single Ticket, the old secondary currency retired in 2016 that we cover in our piece on Tix-era items. Community records put the original run above 116,000 copies and describe it returning in a 2014 sale and again on Black Friday 2025, at a price matching the 1,337 Robux Roblox lists today. It has 38,494 favorites, second only to the Rubber Duckie. It is still not a Limited, and a restock is always possible, which is why it has no resale market.
Still on sale right now, per Roblox's catalog: the Epic Duck Cap at 95 Robux, the Evil Duck Racer at 250 Robux, and the Fancy Duckie, a duck in a top hat and bow tie from 2018, at 1,000 Robux. None will appreciate while Roblox keeps printing them.
Gift card exclusives. Tale of Epic Duck 2: The Reducks and the Evil Duck Visor came off physical Roblox cards in April 2015. Neither is a Limited, though our gift card items guide explains why some card exclusives get scarce anyway. The Epic Duck Fedora, sold from April 2015 to February 2016, is a plain offsale hat now.
Summer Duck, the 2026 entry
Roblox created Summer Duck on June 11, 2026 and sold it for a few days only at 1,337 Robux, the same joke number as the Evil Duck. It already has 17,394 favorites, and community records call it the first item in the series with a particle effect.
It is not a Limited. A short sale window makes an item scarce in practice, but scarce and Limited are different things: without Limited status there is no resale market and no serials, so a Summer Duck is a hat you buy because you like it.
Duck Limiteds that aren't part of the Epic Duck series
One more classic duck Limited is worth knowing about, and it belongs to no series. Duck is a Limited Unique gear from January 24, 2013 that sold at 200 Robux, and its catalog description is one line: "So cute. Less cute when he won't stop following you around." Community records say it spawns a line of ducklings that trail behind you, and place it with the standalone duck gear releases, which is why it is missing from the series list above.
Only 988 copies exist, fewer than either roped gear, and it carries a 10,070 RAP against an 8,899 floor. For a collector chasing ducks it is arguably a better buy than the Rubber Duckie: fewer copies, comparable price, and a working gag.
Watch the name trap either way. Search "duck" in the catalog and you get hundreds of community-made items, many priced far above anything they have sold for, so check the creator and the asset id first. Our guide to fake Limiteds and name-squatting covers the pattern.
What drives value in the Epic Duck family?
Being a gear helps. Both roped items do something when equipped. Wearable-only items in this family top out around 11,000 Robux while the gears clear 16,000.
Meme recognition sets a floor. The Rubber Duckie holds 7,000-plus Robux on a supply that would sink almost any other hat, but that recognition has never pushed it higher, because anyone who wants one can have one within the hour.
The evil variants carry a premium. Evil Duck Roped beats Epic Duck Roped on identical copy counts, and the Evil Duck outdraws every Limited here on favorites except the Rubber Duckie.
Collector's outlook: cheap entries, thin exits
This is a cheap family to start in, even though the full set is not. The two most affordable, the Rubber Duckie and The Tale of EPIC DUCK, both sit inside Limiteds under 10,000 Robux, and all five together come to roughly 57,000 Robux at current floors, a fraction of what one gem-tier classic hat costs. The Rubber Duckie is the easy entry: famous, deeply traded, holding a floor despite enormous supply. The two roped gears are the interesting ones, with 1,002 copies each and a live gap between Epic Duck Roped's RAP and its floor. The Racer is the purest scarcity play of the three hats, though its ask already sits above RAP.
Be honest about the exits. Outside the Rubber Duckie these are low-volume items, and a 1,002-copy gear can sit unsold for weeks at the wrong price. Reselling a classic Limited costs 30% to Roblox, so you keep 70% of the sale price and need roughly 1.43x your purchase price to break even. Screen the family from the items leaderboard first. This is not financial advice, and thin markets swing hard on single sales.

FAQ
What is the Epic Duck series in Roblox?
The Epic Duck series is Roblox's line of duck-themed items, running from the free Rubber Duckie in March 2009 to Summer Duck in June 2026. It grew out of an April Fools' Day event in which a mystery box hat turned into a giant duck. Five members are classic Limiteds; the rest are ordinary catalog items or gift card exclusives.
What is the most expensive Epic Duck item?
Evil Duck Roped, a Limited Unique gear from September 2015. It has 1,002 copies, a RAP of 21,924 Robux, and a lowest resale ask of 18,500 Robux. It originally sold for 500 Robux.
How much is the Rubber Duckie worth in Roblox?
The Rubber Duckie has a RAP of 7,166 Robux and a lowest resale ask of 7,500 Robux as of September 2026. It has 37,081 copies, the largest supply in the series, and it was originally given away free in March 2009. Check the Rubber Duckie item page for live numbers.
Is the Evil Duck a Limited?
No. Roblox's catalog lists the Evil Duck as a regular item, so it has no serial numbers and cannot be traded or resold. It first sold for one Ticket in 2011 and has returned in sale events since, most recently at 1,337 Robux.
Can you still buy Epic Duck items on Roblox?
Yes, three of them. The Epic Duck Cap at 95 Robux, the Evil Duck Racer at 250 Robux, and the Fancy Duckie at 1,000 Robux are still on sale from Roblox. None of the three are Limiteds, so they do not gain value. The five Limiteds are only available through resale or trade.
Why is the Rubber Duckie worth more than The Tale of EPIC DUCK?
Because traders recognize it. The Tale of EPIC DUCK has ten times fewer copies, 3,685 against 37,081, yet trades at about half the price. Demand for a famous item beats raw scarcity here, which is a common pattern on Roblox.
Can Epic Duck items be traded?
The five classic Limiteds can be traded or resold, and trading requires an active Roblox Plus subscription on both sides. The non-Limited duck items cannot be traded at all.
