America gets a crappy Twins exclusive. Japan gets an awesome Pushead Companion exclusive.
Thanks, Kaws.

There's a whole bunch up on YJA starting at 16000 yen.
I'm trying to ignore them.

I still like the bronze best but it is a close 2nd. Way better than the black and GID.

Silver is still the best of the three release and almost more eye catching to me than the bronze.
The black and GID are disappointing to me, but I could see the black working with certain groups of figures. And the GID if it was lit up or made to look more translucent or with a glow.

I agree with that.
I have the black Pushead Companion, and I think it looks better with my Pushead collection than any of the other variants would. All of my figures are either black or bone-colored. Right now I have one Companion, one Skullwing, and one Jar of Pus. And my Circus Punk should be arriving this week.
I actually passed on the silver Pushead Companion when it went up on kawsone. As a stand-alone piece, the silver is definitely better than the black. But based on the direction I wanted to take my Pushead collection in, I felt the black was a better choice. I still feel that way.
I was considering customizing my black Companion with some red highlights, but I'll probably just end up leaving it the way it is.

 I got one
I'm one of the brainiacs that popped $323 for one of the ones that was on the bay. It's a great colorway - will there be more? It seems that Colette and AM Firmament have said they're going to be carrying Original Fake toy releases; I wonder if they're going to be more frequent?

I walked into Original Fake yesterday and scored. Totally unexpected since I thought they were sold out. The guy working there (extremely friendly people there, BTW!) told me he expects them to sell out by today.
Flat out gorgeous colorway. I agree it's second only to the Bronze. If anyone here is in Tokyo, get yer butt to OF since you might still score!!!

Even with 500 I doubt it will dip that low below 300.
I mean the silver is still fetching around that price. And the black has gone back up a little.
I paid 300 for my OF companion and that is a little steep I know but well worth it. If i knew it was 500 I would have held out a bit but owell.
I think 250 is a reasonable price anything lower for the OF companion is a steal.

I agree with LASH and I think the green is even more desirable than the others, except the bronze.

I guess its personal opinion I like mye green much more than my bronze. Reguardless I own eveyone on the pushead companions as I think Its the BEST thing KAWS has released yet.
I would love to someday own one of the hand paints likeyou guys.
That would be the topper

Haven't seen the green in person yet, but I like the green better also.
