I'v changed my mind, this is insane! Totally worth it but to hard to obtain.

haha that thing is insane

you'd have to change your decor once that is in the room

It is pretty awesome now that I have seen a good pic of it.

WOW...that pic is amazing...really (very unfortunately) appetite-whetting...I can't check the KAWS blog right now- do we know for sure about the material? Vinyl, or...?

holy cr@p! thing is huge. i wonder if he will offer em on kawsone.com or just OF japan exclusive.

There's no way I could ever justify spending almost a year's rent on this, but it is pretty fucking stunning.

It looks incredible but to buy it I'd need to sell stock that performs well and sink it into the work of an artist that doesn't seem to have anything to say creatively anymore.

Even if I had a million dollars (which I don't) I'd pass on this as a poor investment.

Its an awesome vanity piece though.

He should do something vinyl with those smurfs in the background in that painting! Those would be amazing as vinyl pieces.

It this is vinyl it will cost another few g's to get to the states.

Jesus H. Fock, you'd hope $4800 would include shipping...although you wouldn't expect it.

I'm sure that many of the KAWS hardcorps are looking into selling a kidney, and will lay awake deep into the night, praying that this will be the only edition/colorway. I still really dig all of the Companion pieces, but I'm hugely thankful I broke my KAWS addiction when I did.

if ur looking for a limited toy guess u have to buy s.th. else as it was done same as red lucky cat. expect more like 200 rather than 20.

shipping on that from Japan will be at least 1200.00

so...since they will all instantly be bought in Japan, the 5-10 flipper pieces will go for at least say 10K plus the shipping....only to have UPX run it over with the truck.

LOL.

did I mention that as of last week I was only one away from completing the companion set: 99, KvP, 5yl, dissected. Bastard!

If 20 are being made, KAWS probably has 4 for himself somewhere in Brooklyn. mmmmm.....

Hold up...a year's rent? I need to move back to Wisconsin.

i would LOVE one but really can't justify the price unless i hit the lottery (and i don't play). i know it has kindda been played out but seeing it standing next to a person... i still dig it a lot.

any lodown from the streets of tokyo???

Do anybody know now if this if this giant is made of vinyl and its jointed??

If so I could understand the high price for a series of 20pcs.

"The 4-foot Companion figure will cost approximately $2,500 USD and was produced in an edition of 100. Other sources had previously reported that the piece would cost in the neighborhood of $4,000 USD and be an edition of 20, which is incorrect."

Note the (Smurf) Gargamel painting on the left side of the frame

This makes me think that maybe 20 will be available on kawsone! Start saving. I'm going to.

Who knows...

I just wish this was released arround Christmas time and not now, who's going on holydays when you have to spend so much on this marvelous chunk o' plastic?

I was just in OF today and saw this piece in person and HOLY SHIT!! It was fantastic. I woulda spent all the money I have in the world on it if it wasn't sold out. These are gonna go way faster than people think when they hit kawsone especially if more and more people see it in person.

I might be able to get a couple of these. Will not know until after the 5th of July for sure.
