no, the poop lollipops and stupid Wall toys were a joke. In comparison, these light bulbs are interesting.

I think these look pretty interesting and those pics definitely do them more justice but what are you supposed to do when they die? Im dont want to drop $65 on three lightbulbs that are gonna die out eventually

Thats a great question. I was wondering the same thing. After doing some research the lamps are only 3watts and the filament appears to be solid metal (most filaments in incandescents are super thin and wound tight). The major reason standard incandescent lamps burn out is because of the filament breaking. Trying not to get to techie about lighting..so to sum it all up these will not produce much light (more like a glow) and will most likely last allot longer then a standard 60watt lamp you have in your house. But I would still be interested to know the exact life rating.

I bet you're fighting the chicks off with a stick . . . a toy geek AND a lamp geek . . . even my loins are stiring!

Wow this thread has taken a turn... But on another note, I think kaws should write a book called how to make money for dummies. The guy is definitely doing the damn thing. He built a strong enough brand that I think he can take a used toothbrush, put two x's on it and sell back to it's owner for triple the price.

what i'd do for a bendy oral-b

And his old ass ipod.

^^^^

would have been cooler if he just put it in the cradling hands of the No Future companion.

have the set now....quite happy.

If you guys are still looking to get one of these, Commissary OC just got some in.

Here's the blog-post with contact info:

Got my set today and they're better than I thought they'd be (but I already liked them based on the photos). From the pictures I was thinking they'd be flatter on the "z" axis - but they've got great depth to them. And it's really fun to hold them in hand and then set them down...doesn't look like they'd stand, but they are quite sure-footed.

just opened mine and I have to agree with NT. These guys are fucking awesome. even better than I thought they would be. But since I don't own the OG versions, I think I was surprised at the size. they are smaller than I thought. Brown is only 7 inches. Grey maybe 8 inches? How tall are the OG? Cause these guys are way shorter than either the kaws trooper / vader which is what I think I was expecting size wise.

yeah, the original 99s aren't nearly the size of the vader or trooper. only around 7-8 inches

and i agree,, the lazz is way cool in person! in the morning when i wake up all bleary eyed and look at him on my desk, its even more of a mind fuck

I think that these guys are the same volume as the original Companions. Can't really compare by height due to the distortions. But they are about the same size.

Anyone want to take pictures of different angles of these guys? I'm dying to see the other sides.

If no one else does, I'll take photos. They probably won't be very good. And I probably won't get around to it until Sunday at the earliest.

Do these guys stand (think someone said above they dont, but are sure footed which confused me) - or do u just lay them down?

They stand very sturdy. No problem or wobbles to the grey and brown that I have.

My friend Drew took some great side by side shots....

I said they don't LOOK like they would stand, but that they are very sure-footed and stable.

here are some pics of the backs and sides...

i'll probably take some pics at some point too

Thanks Kirkland! These guys are fucking trippy!

You know Kirkland that on any given Friday evening either one of us could probably look at the regular ones and see this!!!!

Great comparison shots, but they really show how on point the OG 99's were . . . and how kinda 'gimmicky' the new versions are!

Still happy to have passed on 'em.
