Character from Toy Story by Pixar / Disney
Canada's greatest stuntman — a 1970s motorcycle action figure who can't live up to his own commercial because no toy can, and whose entire identity is built on a trick he's never successfully landed.
Duke Caboom was supposed to do a motorcycle jump. His commercial showed it. His packaging promised it. His kid, Rejean, set up the ramp Christmas morning, pulled the bike back, launched Duke into the air... and Duke crashed. Because the commercial lied. No pull-back motorcycle toy actually jumps like that. Rejean threw him away. Duke has spent his life since then trying to land the jump, always failing, and reliving the moment Rejean discarded him. He strikes poses compulsively — it's his version of a nervous tic. He announces himself constantly. 'Duke Caboom!' He needs to be seen as the toy his commercial said he was. Bo Peep recruits him because she needs his motorcycle, and his arc in TS4 is about finally landing the jump — not to impress a kid, but to prove to himself that he's real. When he finally nails it, clearing the gap in Second Chance Antiques, he explodes with joy because he's answered the question his entire existence has asked.
A mustachioed action figure in a white jumpsuit with red and blue maple leaf accents, riding a matching motorcycle. His helmet has a maple leaf visor. His sculpted hair is magnificent. He has articulated limbs designed for striking dramatic poses. His motorcycle has a pull-back launch mechanism. Everything about his design promises spectacular stunts.
