“Gamorreans are forever at war with anyone who will fight”

Now black and white master Jon-Paul Kaiser brings the legendary warrior to life in Qee form with his newest custom. Using the 2.5″ DIY Pigee Qee figure, Jon-Paul has once again captured the full essence of this brute.

The Gamorrean Guard Qee is an original piece – but fans can rejoice that Toy2R is releasing different works by JPK. From Series 6, the Great Khan 2.5″ Kaiju Toyer Qee and dropping later this month, the new 5″ Mini Qee Samurai Pumpkin. Future releases coming out before the holidays include JPK’s 8″ Artist Qee – the Zombie Pirate and just recently announced – a new 2.5″ Qee in next year’s Designer Collection Series Seven: PURE.

Now added to the online Qee Gallery – this piece now joins over 1100 other original customized Qees from talented artists from across the globe. Toy2R welcomes all artists to submit their customs to info@toy2rusa.com for inclusion to the gallery.

Qee to creation!

Following the charitable contribution of the 2.5″ Qee Happy Bear for the relief efforts for Haiti after the earthquake disaster, Toy2R once again contributes to charity and a good cause.

The Smile Angel Foundation, founded by Chinese Diva, Faye Wong, offers assistance to children suffering with a cleft lip. Toy2R founder and Qee creator, Raymond Choy, wanted to express his support for this worthy cause and customized this original 16″ Qee Bear and donated it for the charitable auction supporting the Smile Angel Foundation.

The Qee represents the joy of life and creativity and inspires others to explore the imagination. Toy2R hopes that the funds from this auction can bring attention and support to this cause and those children can find happiness and help through the Smile Angel Foundation.

Toy2R is proud to present designer toy confectionary customizer, PocketWookie’s submission for the Crazy 4 Cult: Customs show at Gallery 1988 in San Francisco.

Pocket Wookie’s 16″ Snozzberry Sundae Qee Bear is one sweet treat and should be a crowd pleaser when the exhibit opens tomorrow, September 4th from 7-10pm.

The Snozzberry is a mysterious fruit that has no origin. However Willy Wonka’s wallpaper was rumored to taste like snozzberries!

The exhibit will feature custom vinyl toys, plush and sculptures all based on popular cult films. Pocket Wookie joins the ranks of over 30 artists from across the globe to take part in this culty custom show. If you’re in the bay area – don’t miss this for the world!

The Designer Collection Series continues as Toy2R puts its final pieces into place to present a collection based on the purest style of art, Black and White.

I would have artists be convinced that the supreme skill and art in painting consists in knowing how to use black and white… because it is light and shade that make objects appear in relief. – Leon Battista Alberti

Scheduled for release in early 2011, this blind box assortment will include randomly packed designs and rare chase mystery figures as well as a few surprises that will be revealed closer to the release. Each Qee will include the patented keychain attachment allowing you to take this incredible artwork with you everywhere.
