phew! It seems I am finally recovering from whatever kind of infecion it is I have. Yay! With health improvement, I find that I have some energy to finally catch up on posts. And so, I start with the Wood Grain Qees.
I got an email last week about the release of these figures– which I remember spotting at this year’s Toy Fair. I have a couple friends who are big fans of wood furniture and other goodies, and instantly knew this would be a hit amongst them. Well, it seems they’re ready to be released.
I wasn’t too sure how I felt about the qees when I first spotted them, because I myself am a fan of wooden objects, and these are vinyl not wood. Ultimately, they don’t have the texture of wood– but one thing I find really neat is that Toy2R (who I have the highest QC respect for) is treating each qee like individuals. As in– just like wood, each qee will have it’s own unique pattern. If anyone was going to give vinyl the wood treatment, it would be Toy2R since they do amazing paint jobs. There are more details below about the releases:
The collection will be available in a range of sizes:
• Our classic 2.5” Qee featuring the patented keychain attachment. Available in a blind box assortment made up of two different shades of design: Light wood and dark wood. The collection will include 6 classic Qee characters: Bear, Cat, Dog, Mon, Bunee and the Toyer.
• 8” and 9” Qees will be available as limited edition series – great for display in the home, office or anywhere. Packaged in window boxes – each box will have eye catching designs – making them true treasures.
• 16” Collection – perfect for home décor, these oversized pieces make quite a design statement. The 16” Qee Bear will be the first release followed by future characters.
