Tenacious Toys has announced the relaunch of an old favorite - the 5-inch Toy2R SprayeeQ Mini Qee.
We looked around this year and realized that the 5-inch Toy2R SprayeeQ was extinct in the USA and has been for quite a long time. The SprayeeQ was a fun, simple DIY figure on the Qee platform, with a spray can head. Customizers have always LOVED working on these, and the customs always turn out stellar, but they were hard to find even back in the day when Toy2R USA was running strong.
We thought that was a shame, the fact that they were so hard to find. So we decided to bring them back!
Plans are for the 5-inch Toy2R SprayeeQ Mini Qees to be available later this summer. But you can preorder them, via the above link, for $20.00 each.

(No word on pricing, but I'm assuming the $30.00 the were va Kcikstarter) Also, the Argh Noirs will be available at the Tenacious Toys booth #3121 at the New York Comic Con starting on October 11th 2012.
Well...this is an interesting shift from Toy2R. We received an email this morning regarding the fate of Toy2R USA. I have posted, in part, the press release below.
Any thoughts on this move? Personally, I was a fan of the USA site because it was easier to maneuver and find the information you wanted.
