Qee, which comes from "key", is the word we use for the collection of original designer toys created by Toy2R (Hong Kong). As well as being collectors items treasured by Toy enthusiasts around the world, the Qee figurines are above all used for carrying your keys around...
Several sizes are available: 2.5 inches and 8 inches are the most common, while the biggest is no less than 5.25 feet tall! The character templates come in many forms: ToyerQ (a skeleton), BearBearQ (a bear), KitCatQ (a cat), DoggyQ (a dog), MonQ (a monkey) and EggQ (an egg).
The Qee is to the figurine designer what the wall is to the graffiti artist: an essential means of expression! Numerous artists have added their personal touch to the design, Tim Biskup, Gary Baseman, Coop, Kozik, Touma, Mad Barbarian and even Matt Groening... Even the major corporations are involved in the release of the latest Toy2R. Adidas, Benetton, BMW, Christian Lacroix, MTV, Nokia, Starbucks Coffee, Swatch, Xbox 360 all have their own personalised Qee!
At the risk of sounding vain, I, along with Rolito, have pioneered the popularity of these figurines in France... I released my first Qee in 2002! Since then I have designed no less than 10 Qees, the most famous character being an 8 inch Qee, Alphonzo, the bad boy of the 1930s.
So it is with great pleasure that I present today my latest pieces from the comic book Mutafukaz - a varied set of 25 2.5 inch Qees. They will be released as limited editions only, and Ankama is the exclusive distributor for France.
Attention newcomers: each Qee is sold in a BlindBox, which means that you won't know which Qee you have bought until you open it up! Think of it as a Kinder surprise for the internet age :)
