Toy2R is pleased to announce the addition of the new 5″ Mini Qee DIY line to the Qee Universe of figures. This new articulated line will feature classic Qee characters like the Bear, Toyer and Mon but debuts in 2010 with the newest character, PumpkieQ. This DIY version is the same platform that will see the launch of Jon-Paul Kaiser‘s Samurai Pumpkin later next month.
Collectors can now take a stab at customizing using this new platform, engineered with removable head and arms, making those tricky customs easier to complete. The new Mini Qee follows the success of the 3.5″ Baby Qee line which now features 15 different Qee characters.
Really like this new shaped Qee and the Mini Qee line is a great idea in general, although it seems to be a weird DIY platform. I guess it’ll be good as the basis for a big round head though lol

These two custom dunnys are by Abe Viljoen of The Given collective. Being a huge fan of Donnie Darko, I must say I love the Frank dunny. Besides it being an accurate representation of Frank, it’s pretty awesome that it features a removable mask so we get a nice gory view of Frank’s bloodied eye socket :]
This is done on a three Inch Duuny, so the details are pretty small and I was very happy with my first attempt at sculpting! I decided that the Mask should be detachable, so that you can see Frank’s Blood riddled eye.
As featured on the KidRobot Kronikle blog, The Lovely Lowbrow Toy Show opened last Saturday to a packed crowd from 4:30pm-9:00pm at Square Records Gallery in Akron, OH. This custom show marks the first annual event organized by Vivid Plastic : Designer Toy Store. The crowd was a good mix of lowbrow art enthusiasts, toy collectors, and locals from the eclectic Highland Square neighborhood.
Over 30 custom pieces are on display with Akron’s top artists: Julia Bunn, Jeff Lamm, Jamie Suvak, Joshua Davis, Kate Budd, Charlie Wagers, and Jaron Tager. As a special surprise, Vivid Plastic invited graffiti artist Sh!t Heap of San Francisco showing his “Cloudy with a Chance of Rad” custom. The blend of Akron based tattoo artists, graffiti artists, illustrators, and lowbrow painters made for a visually stunning exhibition.
Hit the jump to check out some of the awesome customs that are on display..
Recently Skratch grew tired of her job stacking boxes at a local toy shop. She was underpaid, cranky and hated the fact that she didn’t get any freebies. Her big mouth boss made her job harder by telling her that if she worked a little bit harder, she would be awarded with the title “Employee of the Month”. Skratch couldn’t care less for the title. Every month that title went to a lazy Purpolo Papa Sama that was favored by the boss for some mysterious reason, but that’s another story.
One day a large box fell on Skratch’s head due to the Purpolo Papa Sama’s neglect. She couldn’t take it anymore and she decided to quit. Her boss asked “where are you going to find a better job in this economy? Besides you’re a purple puss with no boots. Who would hire you?”. That “purple puss” comment drove her over the edge as she popped her claws out and went after her boss. The chase came to a halt when they noticed an ice cream covered mouse opening an ice cream store across the street. It was lunch time.
The ESC Toy, Skratch Purple Claws colorway is limited to only 25pcs worldwide.
Each 6″ handpainted resin figure is signed, numbered and packaged by the artist. Available Friday 08/27/10 at the ESC Ebay shop for $125.00
