OFFICIAL PRESS RELEASE:
TOY2R x SIMPSONS return with a second assortment of 3” Qees based on the iconic BART SIMPSON with a few added surprises for 2008!
2007 saw the release of the collaboration between the top animated show on television and the leading manufacturer of designer art figures with amazing results:
A Sell-Out series of 3” and 10” Qee Figures based on Bart Simpson!
A Worldwide Art Tour featuring over 160 customized 10” D.I.Y. Bart Simpson Qees by artists from all across the globe. Hitting the best venues in the world from Taiwan, Florence, Paris, Los Angeles, New York, London and Shanghai!
All the while, The SIMPSONS MOVIE took in over $500 million at the worldwide box office!
Now prepare yourself for 2008 and the release of Mania Series 2. This assortment gives collectors the best of both worlds: cool new designs featuring all new versions of BART as well as classic episode specific designs. Each 3” Bart Qee will include accessories as well as the branded Qee Keychain attachment. From the scouts to extreme sports, from prison to pj’s, Bart will cover serious territory in 2008.
As for surprises, there will be a few select exclusives made available for specific retailers and conventions for 2008 as well as an upcoming holiday release. The figures will be on display during the 2008 New York Toy Fair in February and will drop before summer.
Like 2007, there will be some new 10” limited versions released as well as a 3” assortment of designer BART Qees taken directly from the original creations from the world tour.
All of the SIMPSONS Qees are distributed by both TOY2R and Diamond Comic Distributors worldwide and are currently available for preorder here!
