Essentially a Simpson’s based Munny, this DIY Qee Bart Simpson makes a fantastic project for any fan of the show. Qee is a registered design patent from Hong Kong which was created by founder and president of Toy2r, Raymond Choy. The results are brilliance such as this.

Like the Munny and the Labbit, this DIY Qee Bart Simpson is for [aspiring artists and designers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pop-top) who want to add their take on this [iconic cartoon character](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-simpsons-classic-clog). It looks so cool in virgin white too.
