Fans of Capcom’s Resident Evil franchise will soon have a bunch of new collections to capture due to the next wave in Numskull Designs’ TUBBZ line. The first wave featured ducks playing Chris and Claire Redfield, Leon S. Kennedy and Jill Valentine. With the major heroes of the franchise out of the way, Wave 2 will focus on other notable faces: Ada Wong, Nemesis, HUNK, Tofu and The Merchant from Resident Evil 4. All five are available for pre-order now and are expected to be released in April. The new additions should be quite interesting for long-time fans of the video game series!
A trailer for TUBBZ toys can be found in the Tweet embedded below.

All in all, this looks like a very cool wave for TUBBZ figures. It’s a little annoying to see such a nice approach to a horrible destruction engine like Nemesis, but the line often had horror-inspired characters. Given that Leon launched in the first wave, it only makes sense to him Resident Evil 4 allies Ada Wong and the Merchant to receive similar treatment. Maybe Chainsaw Ganado could make the cut for Wave 3! Of course, if anyone really deserves the treatment with the cosplay duck, it’s Albert Wesker. The bastard beat STELLE from the first entry into the franchise, and the line feels a little more empty without him.
This year marks the 25th anniversary of the Resident Evil franchise, and Capcom is celebrating in several interesting ways. Fans have Resident Evil Village to look forward to in May, as well as the release of a new Resident Evil movie in theaters in September. The latest wave of Resident Evil figures from the TUBBZ line is just a way for fans to be able to celebrate the survival-horror series in 2021, but it looks like there will be many more before the year passes!
