Microsoft Qee
How cool is this? Microsoft is offering a 2.5-inch Qee to folks in Taiwan who take a quiz on their Forefront product. The first 1000 people with correct answers get this Microsoft Forefront Qee.

Friday, August 8, 2008
Kids need bells and whistles these days. Actually, kids would scoff at bells and whistles (and yo-yos and Atari and..) these days. But for those of us born in the 1970s, we didn’t need a hyper-articulated $300 Bertie the Pipebomb to make us happy; we had Legos. It’s now been 30 years since Lego launched its [...]

Toy2r is killing it with their DIY ranges and innovation right now. News of the day is that they’ve now re-engineered an 8-inch DIY Qee from the inside out.

Friday, July 4, 2008
Every year, fanboys and fangirls of varying stripes descend on San Diego for Comic-Con. Although the event has extensive programming, there’s one activity that unites the collectors with the cosplayers, the MMP gamers with the manga readers, the superheroes with the steampunks: the pursuit of SDCC’s exclusive toys.

Thursday, July 3, 2008
Now this is what I’m talking about. Toy2r is letting fly with the DIY, and here’s four blank canvases that creative types can really go to town on. 8-inch DIY Hellboy. Perhaps a custom show to coincide with Hellboy 2? Maybe set him up with this 7″ Liz Sherman action figure? Maybe Steampunk them both [...]

The SDCC ‘08 news keeps coming, and this time it’s two from Gama-Go. First up, the eagerly-awaited 2.5-inch Gama-Go mascot x Toy2r Yeti Qee. Maybe it’s because he’s a Yeti, but somehow he seems bigger than a 2.5-inch Qee. You can see a sample of the Yeti at the Diamond Booth at SDCC ‘08. [...]

I adore Liz McGrath. Her moody, dreamy and curious creations catch my eye like a moth to a red hot flame. You may remember Ms. McGrath from her recent sold out shows at the Billy Shire Fine Arts Gallery, or from her band Miss Derringer or maybe you have her “Butcher” OXOP Series 3 Qee [...]

Tuesday, July 1, 2008
I’ve been pretty vocal about my lack of love for Baby Qees. However, sometimes a custom comes along that transcends my feelings and makes me think, damn, OK that is a good usage of the Baby Qee platform. In that regard, I present these 10 Yolkels, which are Baby Egg Qees customized by Jason [...]
