Take a peak at the latest creation between Kaws and Medicom, titled Partners. If you couldn’t already tell, this figure pays homage to the large statue of Walt Disney and Mickey Mouse as you enter the Disneyland parks. Although you don’t see the two holding hands, you notice the companion in somewhat of an ashamed and abused posture. This piece is currently for sale through ToyQube for $225 HERE. How are you all feeling about this piece? Is it something you would want to pick up? Do you think that the Companion in this statue reflect on Kaws’ usage of the character?
The Companion is the shy side of kaws. I bought one. i think it is an important piece and shows homage to walt Disney.
I think the parallels are pretty clever. At least kaws is being honest over Disney about exploiting his creation/character.
