 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 have the set of companions and was surprised how tiny these were. audiodifficulties wrote: I've never seen a cell phone fob that had a clip at the top like that, and I have used many.

 Re: Kaws x Original Fake – Companion Key Chains
Threadjack, but why are Kaws Chums flooding the aftermarkets? Did they rerelease them when they released the keychains?

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.

 Re: Kaws x Original Fake – Companion Key Chains
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.
