There has been a fair bit of information about the upcoming Sackboy figures and toys in the past month, and some recent photos have confirmed the most awesomerist of things: Toy2R will be producing Qee Sackboy figures.
Qee figures sit alongside Kubrick figures in the mainstream of collectable vinyl figures. But Qee figures are much better than Kubrick figures because, well - they just are.
We hadn’t realised that Toy2R would be producing these until now and that makes these new pictures from the 2009 US ToyFair that extra bit more exciting.
Plus, some additional information is revealed from the photos:

A regular Qee figure
As we first thought, these Qee figures will follow the traditional Qee method of randomly mixing the figures so when you buy one, you never quite know which one you’ll be getting. This of course makes them more collectable as you try to get hold of the ones missing from your collection.
At a price point of around $9.99 (Qee’s normally sell in the UK for £6), it will be quite expensive to collect all 30 of them but just a couple of them should be enough to keep most fans happy.
You can see some more of the fantastic Qee collections on the official site, including photos of the recent Simpsons Qees.

Ever since launch, LittleBigPlanet fans have been shouting out, rather loudly, for official merchandise. Whilst there have been a small number of plastic figurines and knitted Sackboys from Sony, they’ve only ever been promotional items and never produced on a large commercial scale. This has meant that the community has had a whale of a time producing their own Sackboy of courses.
SCEA have announced that they’ve teamed up with Mezco Toys - creators of action figure lines which include South Park, Family Guy, Heroes and even the Notorious B.I.G.
The figures are being released across North America at selected retail outlets and online stores in Spring. So hopefully that means some importing for everyone else around the world, at least until they’re announced for sale elsewhere. Check them out:
I want the neon one. No, wait - the one with the afro. Oh heck, gimme all of them!
If you happen to be in New York between February 15th and 18th, then you might want to pop along to the Toy Industry Association’s Toy Fair 2009 to get a sneak preview of these figures at the Mezco stand. Register now to get in!
Also revealed in the latest U.S PlayStation Blog update, official Sackboy Plushies are on the way, with more news coming up soon as they continue making them.
