I'm feeling a lot of kaws stuff. But his pricing criteria scares me away.. :/

That's exactly how I feel. The last resting place was $600. This one is $300, which compared to $600 seems like a bargain, but I still can't afford it.

The last Resting Place was priced at $320 if I'm not mistaken, but there were some shops which bought the toy and flipped it for said price.

you guys can feel however you'd like about it, everyone is entitled to their own opinion.. i personally hate all the 'hypebeast' shit, and i would classify kaws stuff as just that.. its also ungodly expensive, i dont care if its 'art', food, a car, or toilet paper. im smarter than that to buy (severely) over priced things, there is a limit for me (for a reason): all of my other hobbies are more expensive than collecting toys, believe it or not.. ;)
-
-

The original price is very reasonable, for the size, quality and limited number of the piece. Just because something is popular, and the after market price goes up, doesn't make it expensive. Just makes it even more awesome. Don't hate the players hate the game.

but Jazzy, the "players" decide how many to make, and they usually opt to make the pieces extreremly limited eveb though they know demand is much much higher *exactly* in order to keep market and after-market prices high.
It's the reason I dislike the "fine art market" and love the toy world - afforadble art for everyone! -

This is all a silly argument.
In any collecting there is cheap, affordable and expensive. No one said at the beginning of time that the toy world would only be cheap or affordable - it's a market like any other and it all depends what we are willing to pay. -

I love KAWS, mostly because the toys (some of them) are awesome. The '99 Companion is the Best Art Toy Ever Made, and I will have one by golly. But I'll admit, part of the appeal for me is all the pomp and circumstance. The drops at noon on Friday, the controversies, the freakin balloon in the Macy's parade. If I'm going to be part of the toy world, I gotta have my feet in the KAWS pool.
-

It's an interesting point though, if Original Fake produced say half a million of these, so they would be cheap enough (say £20) and accessible for everyone to own, and have one in their house. Would they still be as cool/desirable?
Are we saying that the only way to make something fine art, is to limit the production quantity? -
-
-
734 487 437

I don't think it would be near as cool if it was easy to get. The thrill in collecting something so limited is part of what makes you collecting so fun (for me at least). That said, if they wanted to make enough of these so that they could drop the price to about $150, I would be much happier.

@ jazzy.. i dont care how many of a certain toy is made, i collect what i like (granted its not a stupid ass price, like all kaws pieces).. some people just cant seem to grasp this and are edition size whores (hense why i like bootlegs).. i do it for myself, and myself only.. and you should too ;)
with that said, ya'll can have these kaws pieces.. im not going to let that fool bend me over like that and take all my money, ill leave that up to everyone else who collects his stuff. im over this materialistic/elitist hypebeast shit and have been since day one.. -

This is so good, it makes me want to buy this one then go find Darth Vader and Stormtrooper. To heck with the mortgage!

If I can get one of these I have no doubt I will go after Vader and the Stormy even at the crazy prices!!
-

Not sure it works by itself, kinda needs one of the other 2 (or even both) to make sense of it. Which I think is the problem with the current spat of releases, all they serve to do is bump up the price of the previous releases because they are more "companion" pieces than stand alone releases. I think thats why Astro Boy was so awesome! It kinda works all by itself, and for a piece of that size, quality and limited numbers, what a great price.

Agree on the previous releases, but I think Boba is iconic enough to carry a shelf on his own. Part of me is now worried that KAWS might release dozens of $300 Star Wars figures, do the whole catalog. And another part of me thinks that would be awesome.

I think this is by far better than his last releases, it's not just putting some X-eyes and bones on some well-known characters. But I believe they will be very pricey. By the way, shouldn't the year be 2013?

I think if I knew it was gonna be part of a range, I'd buy it so I could add some more Star KAWS and start another collection/obsession. But I'm pretty sure I'd never afford the Storm Trooper or Vader, so I'd give it a miss if this is the 3rd and final Star KAWS release. What to do, what to do....
Looks a little over complicated compared to his over releases, so much more going on. I think I prefer his simplistic designs. -

Kronk produced this himself, the manufacturer is Kronk, not two steps from hell. Also the name of the toy is "Pin Up Girl"

Don't want to be a smartass, but it's called "Two Steps From Hell Hot Date", it was only referred to as "Pin-Up Girl" by the blogs. And the manufacturer would be Kronk's new label "Kronk Artist Brand".

Yes, they're available now and will be shipped December 17th. They can be bought until December 15th, or until the maximum quantity available is reached, I guess that's what was meant with application period, since it's a limited time window. However, I've already written them an email with my order, they wrote back and told me they'd invoice me soon, so you shouldn't encounter too much problems neither. :-)

I meant a custom of the platform in general. not specifically this one! So i just called grass hut, which i found out is in a comic shop, and talked to the 'shipping' guy who didnt know anything about these. So i guess we just gotta wait it out! Glad to hear this isnt a one off though.
and do it auryn! shipping for my two formals was only 1500 yen, not too bad seeing as how i used to pay 200+ (usd) just for shipping some somewhat smaller car parts. its the weight that kills everything. -

Yeah, I know the colorway is called black on black, so you might want to add that to the title, but not as a color tag, since "black on black" is not really a color. :)
I might be wrong, but wasn't this toy sold yesterday at the Toybreak auction thingy, and they said it was an upcoming exclusive for 3D Retro?
