Playing rubber duck battleships in the bath (you do that, don't you?) will be more sophisticated now you can remote control your duck. This one has twin propellers, so you can steer him around, backwards and forwards from the waterproof remote. Ok, so it's not quite so much fun as some bath ducks for adults, but it will be handy for amusing your kids. Available now for around $27. [Technabob]

Am I the only one who thinks 2 propellers in the bathtub is not a good thing. Especially for guys. Couldn't you use thrusters?
This is really for more than bathtime, this is the kind of thing you take to the park to make everyone else have toy envy. Better yet hide the remote and let this chase around the other floaties. This could really mess with the guys who are there with their mini sail boats.
Makes me think of the Penguin's vehicle in Batman Returns...
@Git Em SteveDave: If those propellers are a threat to your manhood I would simply cut out the pre-bath Viagra and you should be fine
I could use this to tow my Duck Fadar!

Now we just need to arm him with some duckpedoes.
What?! Remote controlled ducks!? In my day, we didn't have no remote controlled ducks. If you wanted the duck to move in the tub you had to push it yourself. That is after you filled the tub, walking up hill to the well, and drawing it out, one bucket at a time...
Duckpedoes threatening our shipping lanes!
@wanago: Well, hair could get wrapped in them too. Kind of like sea weed.
Let me know a Chinese website where this "Made In China" toy is sold only 1/10 of the price.
@Git Em SteveDave: Eww! Is your pubic hair THAT long? After all, the propellers are really small and low-torque anyway...
@Nintenboy01: Well, the size of the hairs that could get caught is the inverse ratio to the size of the propeller blades and shaft.
