 Re: KAWS Ashtray Released
I actually like the puffy shoes, the ashtray and some of the shirts but the price put me off buying anything. $95. for what seems to be a huge run of ashtrays seems a bit high, but considering his aftermarket, he can pretty much charge whatever and people will buy it. None of the ephemera puts me off though. The operating costs for OF must be massive and he has never pumped out toy releases or prints, so the little stuff is probably essential to keep the business going

 Re: KAWS Ashtray Released
His marketing tricks keep expanding, applying his signature 'X'd' eyes style to anything these days... Did anyone see that new coverdesign he made for the upcoming Kanye West record ?

 Re: KAWS Ashtray Released
There's some idiot with a blitz on ebay listed starting price 500, the description is great. This is a brand new KAWS Blitz toy figurine by Medicom. Only 400 were made in the entire world and KAWS is probably the hottest artist right now. According to OriginalFake analysts, these KAWS Blitz toys can range from 500-800 dollars. These are extremely rare and one of KAWS favorite designs. It comes with the box, as you can see from the picture it's still in the plastic protection. Only serious buyers, you cannot bid if you have less than 10 positive ratings or if you have any negative ratings. I reserve the right to end the bidding if necessary. Thanks for looking at my item, and good luck! http://www.hypebeast.com/image/2008/09/ ... dant-2.jpg
