The D.I.Y. Qee Project: BART presented by TOY2R and Diamond Comics. TOY2R has assembled a virtual who's who list of today's hottest pop culture artists, designers and illustrators from around the world. Each artist will paint, sculpt, and customize their own unique re-interputation of the iconic character, Bart Simpson, using as a blank canvas the 10" D.I.Y. Bart Simpson Blank Platform Qee Figure. Many of these artists have either grown up watching The Simpsons or inspired by its creativity, humor or sardonic look at life. To bring these original creations to the fans, TOY2R and Diamond Comics are launching a worldwide art gallery tour stopping at respected galleries and art boutiques.. This tour will feature several of the custom creations, many available for auction to the public.

Celebrating the opening of the first Simpsons Movie and on the heels of the Tour to San Deigo Comic Con, you're will see the 10" Qee Custom D.I.Y. Exhibit in Booth#4151. This will be the first USA landed stop on the worldwide tour which includes stops in Taiwan, New York, Paris, Chicago, Florence, and Hong Kong. More than 50 different custom Bart Simpson Qees will be on display from artists.

This reboot of the classic animated icon created by Matt Groening almost 20 years ago not only celebrates the first feature length film, opening July 27th, but also marks the launch of the licensed line of Qee figures based on The Simpsons characters.

The World Premiere of these custom D.I.Y. figures and the very first release of the 3" Classic Bart Qee figures will happen July 5 through the 8th, 2008 at the Taipei Toy Festival. Shortly after that the US will see the custom figures on display at the San Diego Comic Con, July 25th through the 29th in conjunction with the release of the 3" Classic Bart Qees.
