so, wouldnt the platform be 'love bomb'?
-

Yeah, their boxes are not so hot. My Bad Apple Black Friday arrived with a nasty scratch on the forehead due to friction between it and the blister. My love bomb came perfect. The cheap wooden box came broken and heavily scratched though. Miss Mao's box is also wood, but way superior to this.

I've only seen vector images of this one. The prototype figure I saw seemed unfinished. Can anyone confirm if the finished product looks as good as this image?

to me it's ridiculous... it isn't transformed in any way, it's not the best Snoopy sculpt, slap a couple of X's on it and sell it for big $$$...
Kaws is so uninteresting right now -

This is a preview shot, so this is definitely how it will look like. So no photoshops here.
Kaws is getting really lamer and lamer, and this release is such a lazy design that there ain't words to describe it. -

Worst KAWS figure ever.

Yeah, let's stick it to him now that he's not producing stuff we like! Yeah!

never been a huge KAWS fan, but this really is just slapping X's on a figure. It's all about the brand now. Ron English has done more interesting things with Snoopy

Tristan - first of all, I think it's okay to criticize an artist when you think he's doing bad work.
but to be fair I've always been sticking it to him cause I don't like his work very much - to me it seems more like brand merchandise then art and Kaws himself more buisnessman then artist.
this recent work just makes me feel more strongly about it. -

MisterQuiche and lordsketch: I agree with both of you. I typed the above comment facetiously, but with an alarming amount of sympathy. I also feel like the stuff I ought to like is not as cool as it used to be. However, barely one percent of Kaws and Dunny and Bearbricks interest me. Kaws probably didn't think this Snoopy would falter, but many on this forum think so. And here I am, seeing the same qualities in this figure that made me think the rest of Kaws is overpriced and underwhelming.
When I started collecting blindboxes in Portland and Chicago (on the few chances I happened to be in either of those cities) I had no idea how much vinyl I had already missed, and four years later I'm feeling crotchety and curmudgeonly and bitter that the artists I liked then either aren't producing stuff that appeals to me or they have stopped making vinyl altogether, and the rest of the toys that I like are unattainable due to rarity, expense, or access.
And the rest of the rest look like total boring shit. The debate over whether something is genuine or bootlegged, commercial or art, goes beyond what I care about. I love my collection, and I'd like to refine it, nurture it like a little toxic garden of non-biodegradable treasures. But increasingly it looks like there is less out there for me. So I feel old and mean compared to my enthusiastic collecting self of just two years ago, and with artists like Kaws I just sit back feel cynical. People are upset about Kaws doing a lukewarm x'ed-out-eyed Peanuts character. I guess I'm upset about caring less about vinyl in general.
Does anyone else doubt the intrinsic value of their hobby? -

@tristan; i know where you are coming from, i have shed most of my collection in recent years but continue to look and hope to find new artists / pieces that excite me. For me recently my focus has been more on the resin producers, small home runs, more artist interaction and a feeling of being involved as opposed to just buying a really really expensive snoopy or tweety bird. (obviously the only factor that ultimately matters is do i like it!)
@ monsterforge, Blend some ice cream in there and im right with ya! -

Tristan - there are many many more toys I want then money I have so I don't have those problems :P
there will always be crap, everywhere. But there is is still a lot of stuff I love. -
-
13 years ago
I normal situations, at least for me, there will always be lots of stuff I would like to have, but cannot based on the price/availability etc. But it's all part of the fascination of collecting, buying fancy furniture and so on: would be a damn more boring if you could get all the stuff all at once!
We as consumers/collectors have the responsibility to buy and collect the stuff we really like and want to support, and I have started to think about his more and more lately. About the facts how well are the companies treating the artists, in which conditions are the toys made (I don't want no-one to risk/damage their health making my toys) and so on. As one individual you can't do miracles, know every little details of conditions, but you can act via your buing habits and I think I'll do that much more in the future. This all comes to Kaws and how I really think that his toys and art has started in the recent years become more and more about milking the buyers/collectors. That in my mind tells that he doesn't really appreciate his fans a lot.
I myself have cut up my collecting almost totally at the moment, but in the future I'll surely buy only something really special and might head towards buying more art pieces during the years. For example nice painting/canvas by some brilliant artist.
For me my toys, although I have a really small collection compared to many here & it doesn't include any "high-end" vinyl toys, are little pieces of art and all have something that visually & mentally describes somehow who I am and what makes me happy.
But that's my rant about these things. Hat tip to Tristan for starting the conversation. Now others - continue. -

Yes indeed, if nothing else, this (in my opinion) poor piece has opened up a lot of conversation from folks

I have to admit,it leaves me cold,except for my love of Snoopy,there's nothing to this.
But again, this is one of the things I like about the toy-as-art world,we all have such different tastes.
I wonder what Schultz would have made of it ? :) -

Bland, Bland Bland. Kaws has wacked out with this little offering. Concentrating more on the dollars than the idea. I've seen more originality in a game of naughts and crosses.

I've completed 3, all with hearts. They look so good together I can't bring myself to break them up by trading.

Blahh 2 with no heart's, but they still look awesome.. I have an extra left arm and left leg if anyone is missing them.

Should we have two listings for this, one with the heart and one without? Or are you allowed to say you have this one, even if it's incomplete?
-
-
13 years ago
Yeah, making two listings is a good idea, because a lot of people won't have the Dunny including the heart but still want to add the Dunny without the heart to their collection.
-
13 years ago
I like the second listing idea for sure. I have only bought a few dunny's so I don't have much of this lil guy but I am hoping to get some more pieces soon.
-
13 years ago
good plan on the second listing
-
13 years ago
I disagree with the second listing. I'm sure a lot of people will want to add it to their collection, but the fact remains that if it's not complete, you don't "have it" yet. Work at it, get that final piece, and then feel that much more satisfied when you click the "have" button.
Maybe it's just me, but I have to draw the line at incomplete figures. If you do the second listing, then by the same line of reason, you have to do one listing for each possible combination of pieces a person could have. Ridiculous? Yes. But it makes a strong point about having standards. -
13 years ago
I think you should add individual listings for each part, so you can show your progress without pretending you're done.

I know the price was crazy but it came with an original painting and the box is hand drawn and signed by Greg and sucklord. Plus the casting and paint on the toy is flawless
