The World Of Toys on TOYSREVIL (Feb/6/2011)
PRESS_TEXT: Cooler than the Dead, the Skelanimal Qees take over once again with the latest series of artist designs inspired by the Skelanimal universe.
Following in the success of Series One with Chungkee and Marcy, this new assortment spotlights the Skelanimal characters Dax, Jack and Kit! Working directly with the Skelanimal creator Mitchell Bernal, Toy2R has once again put together a collection of hot artists to reinterpret the look and theme of the cute little dead darlings and present them on all new Qee figure platforms.
Series Two includes designs by designer art toy favs - Voltaire, Lunabee, PO! (Patricio Oliver), Albert Art, Nick Z and Pocket Wookie. Also included will be classic B&W interpretations of Dax, Jack and Kit along with a couple of mystery chase figures. As always, each blind boxed Qee figure will include keychain attachment to carry your Skelanimal wherever you wish.
Dropping later this year as part of the 10th Anniversary of Qee celebration, this new series will be unveiled during the NYC♥QEE Preview Party being held at Yoyamart in NYC on February 14th. Word has it that a surprise Skelanimal artist may be in attendance to reveal the series to one and all.
So get to Yoyamart on the 14th to get your first up close glimpse of the new series and see why Skelanimal Qees are darn cool!
