buzz all over the fashion, sneaker + art blogs about upcoming kaws article in ANP mag, for which terry richardson shot the photos. Seems 4 foot black companion will be released from original fake (info listed on another board, trying to track down the source) which makes sense... my favorite by far

Oh man.

i've always wanted one of those.. but i could never get myself to get one

What do I want more, another motorcycle or one of these?
Hopefully it's not released anytime soon...

how much were the previous? 3K?

I think the first was about $2600, the second about $3000?

Still don't understand how these don't have production issues at that size.
Biskup had problems with the Ghonners that were half that size.

I just keep imagining a leg slowly collapsing or something else happening.

Don't you guys read the Kaws blog?

"Yes, this is a black 4' Companion.. no plans to release it at this point.."

yeah, remember seeing that. maybe we're at the point now, though. (or could be wishful thinking sparked by rumored blog info, who knows, guess we'll wait and see....)

Of course it'll be released. It would be silly to release two and not do the third. And it'd be foolish to turn down another easy $300K.

Totally agree with you both. But since next Kaws show will only have pieces from 25K up I think that amount is not that much for him nowadays...

Ouch! That definitely makes me think twice about purchasing...

Exactly what I was imagining.
At that price tag, no thank you.

they should have just made them out of fibreglass.

Wonder if that's been brought to KAWS' attention and if he's done anything about it. In the past he was good about taking care of his customers. On something this big/expensive I would imagine he'd do something to help rectify the situation.

Still don't get kaws.

neither do most of the people that buy kaws stuff

Ba dump tsss!

my regular black 5yl has glue marks all over the belly. Would never buy this sight unseen.

I never get tired of looking at the 5yl sculpt

the leg on the right looks like kaws on heroin

dont think this is his fault, looks like it crushed while in the airplane because of pressure differences.
me was totally pisseed about new jpp´s, minor quality not fitting kaws requirement.
head made of 2 pieces cheaply glued together, transitions @ back of head look horrible.
bones are glued to head only too.
and feet arent even one piece, bottom plates glued on.

It will be neat to see the photos from the TR shoot. He has such a 70s sleeze motif going in a lot of his work--I wonder if he will use that theme with the KAWS?
