Toy2R is expanding its line of Woodgrain style Bear Qees with five new 8” figures including three featuring a Saeple wood style (think Mahogany) as well as new versions of the two original sold out editions (light and darks), this time without the Qee logo on the belly. The three Saeple designs are light saeple matte, light saeple gloss, and dark saeple matte. The new Saeple designs seem a cut above the original woodgrain styles. We’re looking forward to seeing the matte finish pieces in person for comparisons sake.
Wood is hot. The growing trend towards creating designer toys from the natural material with inherent appeal offers an alternative to the gold standard – rotocast vinyl. Toy2R’s faux wood approach is interesting in part because of conservation concerns, though the use of sustainable wood by Noferin may promise the best of both worlds.
