Qees (pronounced “keys”) are a collection of designer toys created by Hong Kong-based company Toy2R. For those who are unfamiliar with Qees, you might have encountered them along with the LeSportsac Tokidoki line. They’re the colorful bear, cat or dog keychains that come with some of the bags.

Qee figures vary in their design. The original Qee has a body that resembles an extremely simplified human form, somewhat similar in appearance to Playmobil or LEGO figures, though distinctively round and squat. Depending on its theme, a figure may have the head of a bear with asymmetrical ears called a BearBearQ; a cat called KitCatQ; a dog called DoggyQ; a monkey called MonQ; or a rabbit called Bunee. The Toyer Qee has the same body type as the original, but a head that resembles a cartoon skull. The Knuckle Bear Qee resembles a graffiti-style caricature of an anthropomorphized bear. The Qee Egg simply resembles an anthropomorphized egg.

Here are some cute David Horvath and Sun-min Kim 8″ Qees design:
