CONVERSE x FAKIR - Massive 20" Custom "Discret" Qee

Jeune artiste parisien, Fakir s'est fait connaître des amateurs de designer toys grâce à ses customs de figurines parfaitement exécutés. Il est également à l'origine du Lapin Qbiq qu'il a lui-même autoproduit. Illustrateur, character-designer, peintre et toymaker, il capte dans ses travaux toute l'énergie de ses références visuelles pour nous offrir un florilège inspiré de personnages exaltés. Avec un traité graphique très pur et des influences issues du cartoon, du graffiti, du manga ou du tatouage, l'univers de Fakir est d'une incroyable fraicheur et d'une maîtrise surprenante. Qee Bear is a designer toy created by Toy2R, a Hong Kong-based company founded by Raymond Choy. It is part of the Qee (pronounced “key”) series, a line of customizable, anthropomorphic figures that became a major influence in the global designer toy movement. Qee Bears have a rounded head, stubby limbs, and a signature “Q” shaped keychain attachment, allowing them to be used as collectibles or keychains. Like BE@RBRICK, Qee Bears come in DIY (Do-It-Yourself) blank versions, allowing artists and collectors to customize their own designs. Available in multiple sizes, typically 2.5-inch mini Qees, 8-inch medium Qees, and larger collector editions. Toy2R has worked with international designers, brands, and pop culture franchises, including collaborations with Tokidoki, Michael Lau, Adidas, and even Star Wars. Qee Bears were one of the earliest urban vinyl collectibles to gain international recognition in the early 2000s, helping establish the designer toy movement alongside figures like Dunny (Kidrobot) and BE@RBRICK (Medicom Toy). Though they’ve been somewhat overshadowed by newer toy trends, Qee remains an iconic piece of designer toy history.
