thanks! kaws is a zillionaire, and he knows about bootlegs and doesnt give a shit. plus, kaws' best work rips off existing stuff: mickey mouse, smurfs, spongebob etc. he's the bootlegger.
the strangest thing that labioligy make is the kurf? if kaws were to release one would it be a bootleg of their unlisenced interpretation of his kurf paintings!!!
The website sells fakes with high prices and if I object to that, I don't see myself hating :) Just critizing. I don't myself dig Kaws that much, but this sort of thing is ridicilous.
the 'hating' comment was intended for the user who commented before J_Walrus.. the user said I was an idiot putting this toy in my wish list. he tried to slam me, and I smacked him with knowledge
This bootleg is double the size of the original piece. You don't buy this piece to claim you have the real deal, you buy this piece because you love the figure but don't want to pay the full flipperprice for the original. And I think too, Kaws is a bit of a copycat... Don't get me wrong, I love his work, I really do... I just think that it's easy moneymaking to use already established figures and just put the bones and mickeyhands on everything... Imo, I respect more a brand like Coarse, completely original, great quality and the sensation of opening a box of False Friends can only be known if you have done it yourself...

What the * is this Labiology website?!
Full of "replicas" aka bootlegs of different stuff from several brands. How can it even exist?

Jan: whose comment did you refer as "hating"?
The website sells fakes with high prices and if I object to that, I don't see myself hating :) Just critizing. I don't myself dig Kaws that much, but this sort of thing is ridicilous.

Ok, thought about the possibility of that earlier.
Just had to make sure, because I have no interest to hate on anything over here.
