Post Re: Kaws x Original Fake – Companion Key Chains
I haven't seen them in person, they just didn't appear your normal cell phone charm.
(and don't feel the need to have a "trendy" keychain to drag around the office,
I prefer something in silver).

I don't love these just don't hate them. But I think that comes from liking the originals.

I don't think I have a key that would work w/ that clip (and if it did, you could only clip one). The clips (and the figures) are tiny. I have the set of companions and was surprised how tiny these were.

I've never seen a cell phone fob that had a clip at the top like that, and I have used many.

Actually, these are for cell phones - they sell 'em as 'keychains' to Americans since we are not into the cell phone fob thang.

Threadjack, but why are Kaws Chums flooding the aftermarkets?
Did they rerelease them when they released the keychains?

I feel like it's just hype. People are searching for the Chum key chains and so people are thinking now is the time to cash in on their Chums. Chums came out quite a few years back.

A store in Hong Kong found a couple of boxes of the white/yellow/clear versions un-opened that had sat in storage for yrs. I think they had about 3 dozen of each. I guess they found them when the kaws keychains came in.

I remember someone on this board gunning to complete a Chums collection back in 2006. The white was so elusive at that time, people were paying north of $1k for one. He later dropped out of the toy scene to focus on customizing his Mini Cooper.
