 Re: Kaws 400% Dissected Bearbrick
Nice pics, that last photo looks like an anti-flipper ad, did you time that on purpose?

 Re: Kaws 400% Dissected Bearbrick
Saw the 1000% in NY last night. I dont know, but it looked really flimsy if you ask me, not digging it at all.

Flimsy? That's the last word I would use to describe a 1000% be@rbrick. LASH wrote: Saw the 1000% in NY last night. I dont know, but it looked really flimsy if you ask me, not digging it at all.

I mean its cool to have a toy this big an all, but meh. when I was looking at him, there was a similar sized astroboy vinyl figure right next to him. That looked amazing, I would LOVE to own that badboy. To each his own so don't take my word as anything.

 Re: Kaws 400% Dissected Bearbrick
The quality on the dissected 1000% is OK but no where near as good as the original 1000%. A lot of it has to do with the choice of making a clear plastic head...which meant having that huge seam run down the middle.

 Re: Kaws 400% Dissected Bearbrick
The vinyl is definitely nicer but I wouldn't want to deal with the huge vinyl head turning yellow, so I'm glad they went with plastic.

I don't. I was just saying "flimsy" isn't the right word to say you don't like it. LASH wrote: To each his own so don't take my word as anything.

 Re: Kaws 400% Dissected Bearbrick
Just a personal perspective . . . KAWS = Hot & Cold . . . . when viewed next to the real deal Dissected the Be@rbrick interpretation looks pretty meh!
Dr Romanelli did this kinda deal with more flair a few months ago but it didn't have the KAWS hype machine to back it up.

 Re: Kaws 400% Dissected Bearbrick
the dissecteds are one of the few things kaws has done that I like. This bearbrick version is underwhelming & could've been better.
but I'm still shaking my head in amazement at the press release announcing these (PLEASE READ IT CAREFULLY BEFORE PURCHASE). I know some of this is supposed to reduce flipping, but come on. Is there a section of his fans that thrive on abuse?
whether you like his merch or not, you gotta admit the guy's a first-class asshole.

what press release? i got an email saying: Hello,
The KAWS OriginalFake Companion Be@rbrick and KAWS Warm Regards Bar will be available today, Friday March 6th at 12PM EST on http://www.kawsone.com
Thank you, KAWSONEstarts with "hello" and ends with "thank you". doesn't seem assholish to me. i guess the email could been automated to have said my name after "hello", but i'm over it..
