 Re: KAWS Tweety
Usually a fan, but I'm not really feeling how this character translated into a Kaws toy. Looks like the head is about to bobble off.

 Re: KAWS Tweety
The Pinocchio was a much more natural fit... this looks forced.

 Re: KAWS Tweety
I always assoicate tweety bird with fat gross redneck women with yellow sportscars... So yeah I hate this a lot. It's really weird that the Disney and Star Wars stuff is tasteful to me, but this is just lame.

Many years ago I had a job where one of my dumpy, trashy co-workers wore L.Toons and Disney sweatshirts and jean jackets all the time and ever since then I've had an unshakeable revulsion towards those companies merchandise. God, now I've got her stuck in my head and am thoroughly disgusted all over again. I can practically smell soggy Cheerios soaking in spoiling milk!

Doesn't this toy suck enough without denigrating Red Necked Americans?

Let me revise, I think Disney and Kaws are a better combination than LT and Kaws. But that's probably because he doesn't deviate from the formula as much, they already have big gloves and shoes, so the only changes are X X over the eyes and the little skullgrin thing.

She wasn't a red neck - just trash. Nothing against red necks!

 Re: KAWS Tweety
I like this, not as mucg as Pinochio, BUT $299 each or $549 bargain two pack price is just too pricey. For Pinocchio I was willing but luck was against me. No disrespect to any stores selling these by the way. But Mr Kaws if you are reading this - arent you pricing out your long term fans with baller pricing like this for a (relatively) large run toy made in China?

 Re: KAWS Tweety
i like the tweety, especially the black. no question about being pricey even by japan retail standard. wonder how much influence kaws has over the pricing these days, or is it completely decided by medicom? also curious if the higher than usual retail price is caused by a shorter run than the pinocchio as the tweeties soldout much quicker than usual at OF.

 Re: KAWS Tweety
I don't understand why retail price for this is the same as ebay prices?

 Re: KAWS Tweety
if you took $85 and converted it to yen back then when the jpp came out... and converted that amount back to US dollars, it would be about $9,456 today. the price of the tweety sounds fair to me. i did the math
