This is from hypebeast.com:
Kaws hooked up with the Bounty Hunter after their first toy released 6 years ago. They released these vinyl figures produced by Medicom Toy in Japan recently in stores which the white one only at Original Fake and black one only at Bounty Hunter stores. It features a mix of Bounty Hunter’s signature character Skull-kun with Kaws’ crosses, and it also comes with Kaws’ head in the figure’s hand.

no tone is NOTORIOUSLY OVER PRICED. 350 isn't market for sure if that is what they are charging. I don't see these fetching more than 150, once the initial rush is over.

Insanity on the price, but Kaws can crap in a piece of foil and sell them out in 5 minutes so no surprise. I still give respect to the white one but not the price.
Now the head idea actually adds a nice touch.

As it's been said, the green Pus was selling almost below retail lately, so no way this costs $350.. Also I'm sure many new kaws fans won't be feeling the skull kun's shape..

this fig is so obvious it hurts - still its well executed & I really like it...
but lord only knows how much the rent is at that orginal fake store considering the location probably around 500,000yen a month. I guess they gotta pay them bills and explains the glut of Kaws stuff. if this stuff was dropping one every 3 months or so that would be fine but this so smacks of trying to cash in while the market is up...

I understand where people are coming from when they say it's losing its magic. I've skipped the last three Kaws releases. I think it's the insane amount of colorways with each series that is really killing it. Although I do go back and forth on skipping out on the pushead colab....
But to be honest I'd still love to snag a white one. But due to the Kaws hype on another board, ah hem, I've missed out on 1/2 a dozen on ebay since they dropped yesterday. Although to be honest I don't know if I'd pay a BIN of $180 anyway...
If anyone knows where I can snag one for a reasonable price, maybe YJP is the best way to go, and could PM me I'd really appreciate it.
Thanks!

The Kaws head swung it for me! 
Any confirmation on quantities? Rumour had it at 200 black for Bounty Hunter store and 200 white for OriginalFake . . . or is this just speculative bullshit?
