NEW POST: Recently, custom artist FAKIR was asked by the folks over at Converse to create a custom 20" Qee for one of their photographers named Discret... and above is the end result. A massive, fine tuned, custom that looks so amazing! The shading, paint, and production on this custom is truly top notch, and is some of the cleanest work we have seen on a custom painted figure to date... super stellar! Oh... and if you have some time, head on over HERE to see some of Discret's work... he takes some rad toy photos! http://dlvr.it/9ssWtT

NEW POST: Back in 2011, Hugh Jackman — the actor best known for portraying Wolverine on the silver screen — attended the NYC♥QEE exhibition at Yoyamart, he saw the work stunning custom work of @jonpaulkaiser and immediately inquired about it, going on to commission Kaiser to transform a 16-inch tall Qee into a rendition of Wolverine straight from the comics. Evidently hidden under a veil of confidentiality and secrecy until now, Kaiser is finally able to share this wonderful tale as well as the striking piece he created for Jackman. Sit back, relax, and Wolverine out! http://dlvr.it/40fJ54

NEW POST: South Korean artist Jaein Park of Neon Seven Studio has customized this 8-inch Bunee Qee in a simple yet stunning manner; keeping the base figure's coloration unobtrusive — a perfect mix of flat pink 'skin' and flat black 'clothing' — the expressive, cartoonish face really shines. But if that was solely what had been delivered, it would've certainly failed to impress… with the addition of the custom cape, a roughly cut to form piece of red cloth, the variety and color combinations just pop perfectly. Minimalism at it's best, one could say. http://dlvr.it/3Sjqb9

NEW POST: The seasons have slowly shifted from the harshness of winter to the breeziness of springtime since we last teased this piece, the appropriately titled "May" custom 8-inch BuneeQ by LauraLorén. Like most of the professional fashion designer's customs, this one sports beautifully constructed and fitted clothing, specifically a long creme-colored mesh fabric dress and a silk jacket with puffy sleeves. The piece is adorned with a rhinestone necklace as well as plastic trees & deers, creating a rather "Mother Nature"-esqe vibe. While I'm still not sold on the incorporation of the obviously faux forest and wildlife, I love the feel she accomplished and, as always, her simple & straightforward work shines. http://dlvr.it/3Q3BqC

NEW POST: Back in 2010, Mikie Graham debuted his funtastic Mr. Sparkle Qee custom at @QEEBEAR's 2010 DCon booth and has since received countless requests to make more for the hordes of Simpson's fans out there. Well, as we previously announced last year, Graham has been hard at work trying to make a brand new micro run edition… Sporting an über-shiny coat of Monster Kolor paint, this new "Mr. Sparkle (Monster Kolor Edition)" of the 10-inch Qee platform also has added a removable head and even customized packaging to the design! Made in a limited edition micro run of only 6 copies, these $250 gems are available now in Graham's online shop. http://dlvr.it/34KTgS

NEW POST: The boys over at @rotobox Vinyl are at it once again and have completely hit the ball outta the park... scratch that... they hit a grand slam!!! First up is the massively cool custom Qee that is part of their ongoing '@rotobox Suparobo Series', and this beast is the "Golion" custom @rotobox Tribute that is based of the hyper popular Japanese Anime, which the USA eventually turned into Voltron... it turned out so sick! Next, they too their Celsius figure, and turned it into a very obscure version of SpiderMan... one that many have not even heard of, but for me, it brings me back to my childhood as I actually still have in my possession Spiderman 2099! This very futuristic version of the web slinger turned out really cool, and just like all of the pieces that the guys over at @rotobox create, they feature top notch production like quality... no wonder why all their pieces sell out! http://dlvr.it/2xjGFZ

NEW POST: On February 10th, 2013, we will be entering the Chinese New Year: the Year of the Snake. To celebrate this fact, Patrick Wong has customized a 5.5-inch tall Qee figure to not only reflect the animal side of this upcoming year, but also "the cosmic element [which] is water." His paint job is very clean looking, though you can spot some brush stroke marks in the rushing water parts. Whether this piece is available or not is unknown, so we encourage interested parties to contact the artist to find out. http://dlvr.it/2wMBXx
