This has to be one of the cutest, Square Enix-related items I’ve seen. In honor the of the recent Chocobo’s Dungeon Wii release, the Uki Uki Chocobo was created. Yup, he’s a little rubber duck Chocobo, which NCSX is affectionately referring to as a “rubber chocky.” NCSX is also taking preorders for the $13.50 item, which is expected to ship before the end of June, 2008.
This adorable little chocobo can either be used like a rubber duck, helping defend you against bathtub kraken (like Ultros) or act as a decorative accent on a shelf. Either way works, and either way is incredibly cute. It is also appropriate for all ages, since its a solid chunk of plastic.
If you’re hesistant about purchasing from a shop online that you’ve never used before, then perhaps wait a few months. The official Square Enix shop tends to also get these rare, import items related to games and might end up stocking the Chocobo rubber duck in August. Of course the Square Enix Shop also requires users to spend $23 before it will process an order, so grabbing a “rubber chocky” from NCSX might be cheapest.
A friend of mine’s expecting his first child soon, and, as one of the forthcoming kid’s honorary aunts, I strongly believe that he/she will require some kind of chocobo toy. I was leaning towards the Final Fantasy XI baby chocobo as a gift, but now I’m thinking an Uki Uki Chocobo might be a bit more practical.

I know, right? He's just too cute. I can't believe SE didn't make one of these sooner.
