seems like anything made by kaws means $$$ these days. especially his toys are so hard to get and insanely expensive. on Feb. kaws announced his collaboration with medicom toy to release bearbrick version of the original fake’s signature icon, dissected companion.

100% 400% 1000%

I was hoping to get one of these but then I saw the picture of a line in front of the invincible store in Taipei to get kaws bearbrick…

kawsone.com finally uploaded the bearbrick about two weeks after its official release. They were selling it for the cheapest price you can find in the US, except that they got sold out in 10 minute! toytokyo.com had them in stock but double the price of kawsone’s retail price ($250 for 100%+400%). then I called riccardi store since they are the official originalfake retailor of boston. they told me they weren’t getting any of them. but then later when I stopped by store, they told me they accidenlty received the toy…but they got sold out among riccardi employees’ friends. how nice of them.

riccardi boston actually have this beautiful 4FT black companion on display. the owner of the store was trying to sell this to me for $10,000 since I was eye humping on this. at first I thought he was kidding but he was telling me that he still has the original box for it and he can ship it to me for free…he was actually serious about this…anyway I couldn’t get the kaws bearbrick or more like I didn’t get it. I got too tired of searching for it. I could go to ebay right now and buy 400% for $300~$400 and $900 for 1000%. ridiculous marked up prices. the hype of kaws on ebay is insane right now.

just to kaws another kaws nightmare, originalfake is releasing these keychain version of the companion. there is a huge discussion at kidrobot dicussion board about how cheap looking these are and how kaws is losing its value…whatever, these would get soldout anyway (colette is already soldout actually). I’m sick of looking for kaws stuff but somehow I still want these.
