Wow. Another stellar Qee from Toy2R. This unique figure adds custom wings to transform a Kit-Cat Qee into a sci-fi angel, giving way to the exclusive Sky Doll Qee. The 2.5-inch Sky Doll Qee is designed by Sky Doll artists Barbara Canepa and Alessandro Barbucci for Soleil Productions. Besides the special wings, this Qee comes in an exclusive box conceived and designed by Matteo De Longis. There will be two versions: regular (limited to 2000 pieces) and “extra white” (limited to 1000 pieces. Sky Doll is a successful comic published in the European market for the past ten years. Recently, they joined with Marvel Comics to distribute Sky Doll in the US. After working with Alessandro on the magazine W.I.T.C.H., Barbara and Alessandro paired up again as illustrators and character designers on the Sky Doll comic. Sky Doll, which has been awarded best series of the year can be found in over 18 countries.
As for the Qee, it’s currently available in France and online through Artoyz for 14.90 Euros ($19 USD) here. In addition, Barbara Canepa is expected to make an appearance at Italy’s Urban Toyz on November 15th for signings.

Barbara Canepa is awesome. Hands down one of the nicest designs of any platform this year.
While most companies are pumping out the same designs by the same designers over and over, Toy2r is still innovating, mixing things up and keeping designer toys as an art form, not as a cash cow.

Just ordered the translucent version - hope I can find the white as well. I adore the Sky Doll series and the work of Canepa and Barbucci, so this is a real gem to get my mitts on! Is that a third version, without the wings - it a perfect example of a Qee cat version of Noa!
