Qee collectors?

LimpKnot · 28th June 2006, 03:52 PM

Any Qee collectors out there? I've seen a few shops in Glasgow and Edinburgh selling these designer toys.

They are created by a company in Hong Kong called Toy2R. A lot of well known graphic designers have created custom designs for limited edition runs and those tend to sell for small fortunes on ebay and the like. They are pretty cool.

Massive Attack recently designed one. Clutter Mag have some cool ones. This one at Tokyo Toy Store is well cool though but a tad expensive

What do they do?

nothing. lol. they are just canvas toys. They have become really popular in the design community because a lot of graphic designers, musicians and artists have designed some too. So you end up with limited editions etc and people trade them on the net.

You get 8inch tall ones now though that come with accessories.

They've started a whole new trend infact, creating a way for freelance designers and graffiti artists to make money out of their creativity. It's a great way to advertise too. I think you can actually get plain ones that you can paint yourself.

In Edinburgh at the Grass Market a few of the arty student shops have them also on Coburn Street i've seen a few there. Those are mostly the mass produced ones, if you want the special editions its best to look online

I want an 8incher.
