Raving Toy Maniac

April 2013 - Toy2R-USA's QeeWorld Store and website is closing down April 30th.

After 4 years of providing a venue for everything Toy2R, wandering event halls, putting on custom shows around the continent and working with some of the best artists in the toy world, QeeWorld - the last remaining foothold of Toy2R-USA - is shutting down. The farewell post went up on the site yesterday.

The warehouse is getting the once over and everything found is being cleared out. Aside from the Specials and Warehouse Finds section that recently went live, everything in the store is being massively discounted. The current coupon code is FAREWELL for 50% off everything, but keep a lookout on the site for other specials. Swing in and bid a fond farewell.

DARK HORSE DELUXE PARTNERS WITH TOY2R TO DISTRIBUTE LIMITED EDITION HELLBOY MINI-QEE VINYL TOYS!

MILWAUKIE, OR - February 2013 - At this year's International Toy Fair, Dark Horse revealed what is sure to be one of the year's most-talked-about toy releases! Hong Kong's innovative designer-toy company Toy2R will produce a new range of 5" vinyl figures in their popular "Mini-Qee" format, putting their unique design spin on Mike Mignola's popular Hellboy character.

Mike Mignola's Hellboy has emerged as one of the classic comic book characters of the modern day, spawning a successful series of graphic novels, motion pictures, animation, interactive games, and toy lines. Excitement around this character is at an all-time high, as Mignola takes him back to whence he came in the smash-hit series Hellboy in Hell, currently in its third issue.

June 2012 - Toy2R - In 1867, the Marquess of Queensberry rules of boxing were drafted by John Chambers, forever changing the sport. One fighter who refused to change with those rules was a south paw fighter known as Tobacco Pete. A scruffy and rough man, whose eventual claim to fame would come from his challenge to fight any man, any beast, any time! Truly a man to reckon with considering he was hailed as the King of the Ring!

Artist and customizer Pocket Wookie steps into the ring with this new Artist Mini Qee design. Using the Mini Qee Mon platform, Tobacco Pete is ready to go the distance.

Get ready to cheer for a champion when this Mini Qee punches his way out in August with an SRP of $28.00.

June 2012 - Announcing the latest addition to the 5" Mini Qee Artist Line - The Yakuza Series by Fakir.

Toy2R USA makes every effort to scour the globe to find new artists and fresh designs to work with and when we found a set of original custom Mini Qees by French artist, Fakir, it was a no-brainer that they should be made into production pieces. Originally the artist created a similar design using the 9 inch Bunee Qee, but creating a collection using the Mini Qee platform seemed the best way to explore the variations of Fakir's Yakuza theme.

Scheduled to be released in August with an SRP of $28.00 each, expect to see a few different versions as the Yakuza take over the world.

ABOUT THE ARTIST: Young Parisian artist, Fakir became known designer toy lovers with its customs figurines perfectly executed. He is also behind the Rabbit Qbiq he himself has self-produced.
