Duke Caboom

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.

Also known as: Duke Caboom, Duke, Canada's Greatest Stuntman

What They Know

• His pull-back motorcycle was designed to look impressive in commercials but can't actually perform the stunts the ads promised
• Was discarded by his owner Rejean on Christmas morning after failing to perform the jump shown in his TV commercial
• Has practiced his signature motorcycle jump hundreds of times in isolation — the gap between the commercial's promise and his reality is his defining wound
• Finally landed the jump during the Second Chance Antiques rescue operation, proving that a toy can exceed its own design
