Quick verdict

This is a comparison shortlist, not a single winner call. The clearest split is between the £15 boxed collectibles and the £70 larger pieces. Start with the Tubbz Delorean Time Machine Vehicle Collectible Toy at £70, the Tubbz Five Nights At Freddys Freddy Rubber Duck Boxed at £15, and the Tubbz How To Train Your Dragon Toothless XL Edition at £70, then decide whether you want a compact boxed figure or a bigger display piece. Review detail is limited on the visible Argos pages, so fandom, size and shelf fit are the safest ways to choose.

Top picks to compare

Start with Tubbz Delorean Time Machine Vehicle Collectible Toy (£70), Tubbz Five Nights At Freddys Freddy Rubber Duck Boxed (£15), Tubbz How To Train Your Dragon Toothless XL Edition (£70) because they give you a focused set of current retailer options to compare. The visible price range is £15-£70, so check whether the extra spend buys a useful specification difference rather than only a different brand or finish. The shortlist includes Tubbz, which helps you compare familiar brands against specification, delivery and value.

What the retailer details show

Argos describes TUBBZ as licensed collectible ducks with boxed display packaging, which makes this range more about collecting and gifting than busy play features. The shortlist contains 5 items from 1 brand and 2 product types, and the checked pages show age guidance of 3 years and over. That makes the page useful for narrowing choices, but not for proving a single best Tubbz toy. Some items have only small review samples visible, so it is wise to treat ratings as a light guide rather than a strong ranking signal.

The main trade-offs to weigh

The biggest choice is between the standard boxed ducks and the larger XL or vehicle-format pieces. The £15 items such as Freddy, Jaws Bruce and the Jurassic Park Dilophosaurus suit buyers who want a lower entry price and a compact boxed display. The £70 DeLorean and Toothless XL are for shoppers who want more shelf presence, with Toothless XL standing 33cm tall and the DeLorean sold as a vehicle-style collectible. Because live stock and page details can change, check the retailer page for the latest price, availability and age guidance before buying.

Why these picks made the shortlist

These 5 Tubbz toys were selected because they give a useful mix of format, price and franchise coverage through Argos. The shortlist includes 1 brand, 2 product types and a visible price spread from £15 to £70, so it covers both standard boxed editions and larger statement pieces. That mix matters for shoppers comparing character appeal, display size and budget. Review depth is thin, so the shortlist is best used as a practical filter rather than a final verdict on quality.

How the shortlist benchmarks out

The main benchmark is the £15 to £70 price range. At the lower end, the boxed figures are the easiest entry point into the Tubbz range. At the higher end, the DeLorean and Toothless XL ask for more budget but also bring more display impact and a larger format. The brand represented here is Tubbz, and the category is collectible, boxed display toys rather than a broad mix of playsets. Those benchmarks help you compare like with like, but they are shopping signals rather than independent evidence.

How to choose the right Tubbz toy

Start with the character or franchise, because that is the main reason to buy these collectibles in the first place. Next, check the size and the shelf space you have available: a boxed Freddy or Jaws duck is a very different fit from the 33cm Toothless XL or the 31cm DeLorean vehicle collectible. After that, compare the current price and the retailer’s age guidance, which is shown as 3+ on the checked pages. If you are buying for a child, or just want the gift to arrive on time, confirm stock and delivery or collection options on the live Argos page before ordering.

Value notes for shoppers

Value here is less about the cheapest sticker price and more about how well the format matches the buyer’s need. The £15 boxed ducks make sense if you want a recognisable franchise piece with a lower spend, while the £70 items only feel worth it when the bigger format, stronger shelf presence or vehicle-style display is the real draw. Brand familiarity helps if you are buying as a gift for a fan, and the boxed presentation adds to the appeal for collectors. Before you buy, check the live price, availability and delivery or collection options so you know the final cost and timing.

Buying questions

Why is this page a shortlist rather than a single best pick?

Because the visible Argos range is split by fandom, size and format rather than by one clear all-round standout. The shortlist is meant to help you compare the £15 boxed figures with the £70 larger pieces, then decide what fits the child, collector or gift recipient best.

Are these TUBBZ toys suitable for younger children?

The checked Argos pages show age guidance of 3 years and over, but that should still be checked on the live product page before you buy. These are licensed collectible ducks with boxed display packaging, so they are as much about collecting and display as they are about play.

What is the main difference between the £15 and £70 options?

The £15 options are standard boxed collectibles, while the £70 entries are larger pieces such as the DeLorean vehicle collectible and Toothless XL. The extra spend is mainly buying size, display presence and a more statement-like format rather than a simple like-for-like upgrade.

Which matters most here: fandom, size or price?

Fandom comes first for most buyers, because these Tubbz pieces are character-led collectibles. After that, size and shelf space usually decide between the boxed figures and the larger £70 items, with price acting as the final check.

How reliable are the current review details on Argos?

They are limited, with only small review samples visible for some items. That means review stars are useful as a quick cue, but not strong enough on their own to settle the choice between Freddy, Jaws Bruce, the Jurassic Park Dilophosaurus, the DeLorean or Toothless XL.
