2.5" Zulu Cat Qee

Qee, pronounced as ‘key’, is a registered design patent from Hong Kong and created by founder and President of Toy2r, Raymond Choy. Qee was introduced in 2002 causing hype amongst toy collectors worldwide, but soon after caught the attention and imagination of art lovers, graphic designers and the world’s youth alike. It has since then, taken the world by storm. Toy2r has eighteen Qee base characters to date and these mini figures stand 2.5" tall. They are used as a fashionable accessory (keychain), decor and/or designer/art toy collectable. They come in ‘blind’ boxes to conceal their identities to add excitement in the collecting process. So you never know what figure you will get and if you find that you have duplicates you could always work a trade. The eighteen base characters include:

BearbearQ, KitCatQ, DoGgyQ, ToyerQ, MonQ, EggQ, BuneeQ, CupeeQ, PigeeQ, BalleeQ, BoxeeQ, ToyerBB, RhineeQ, GrizeeQ, PungeeQ, EarggQ, SprayeeQ, and ElepeeQ,

All of our Qee figures are designed by renowned designers' and artists' from across the globe. They are available in various sizes that include the 1.5", 2.5”, 8”, 16”, 36” and the 60” Qee. In 2011 a new 5" "mini qee" was released in 7 different Qee characters. Toy2r also provides DIY Qees for aspiring designers' and artists' who wish to use Qee as a 3D canvas to express their own original work, as Qee allows for self-expression and creativity through a unique format.

Qee is a user-friendly product with a simple two-step process for assembling and disassembling your accessible Qee-chain. All you need to do is follow these simple steps:

1. Twist the head gently from side-to-side until the head detaches from the body.

2. Place the Qee-chain around the neck of the Qee and reattach the head to the body.
