Meh. I don't particularly care for them. But I think they would have been stronger had they paid attention to which pieces received which shades...woulda been more cohesive and fit in a little bit better. But I see no reason to add another colorway to the original dark / regular / light trio.
Kaws did a print of a pink OG companion in 1999...this may be why you see that people did customs using the pink colorway idea...I for one wish he had made the toy in pink like the print as well... would kill for it actually, for one of the prints too...
Yeah, I know of that print. Still, IMO there is zero need for KAWS customs. The Companions, 5YLs, and Chums are perfect in the editions that were released - any customization detracts from the originals and sticks out like a sore thumb.
I think of the KvP Companions as a Pushead release rather than a KAWS release. Seriously, they fit in with Pusheads stuff WAY MORE than they fit in with KAWS' stuff. And KAWS really didn't do anything other than allow Pushead/Cosmo Liquid to go to town on his character.
If it's the Japanese auction site I went to, I couldn't find it there. Perhaps that's more due to the fact that I'm dim than it not being there...
