Available only at the World Character Convention 21,this extremely limited Kaws Companion ‘Pushead Version’ was the secret item. More colorways coming in the coming months. These came out Saturday and are going on Yahoo Japan Auctions for over $1000. Fuck. I’ve amassed these photos from across the web, my apologies to those I stole them from.
I was wondering when you were going to post this. I’m not the biggest Pushead fan but that’s one crazy piece of vinyl.

There you go.
FINALLY a lil cutesy vinyl toy that actually looks cool
gnarly
That shit is sooo hot. Some of my favorite artists colabin’, it doesn’t get any better.
you mention that people are already shelling out $1000 on ebay for this thing, and i understand the collectability of it all, but honestly, that’s a terrible investment. for $1000 you can buy an original pushead drawing, or even an original kaws painting. and those would be one-of-a-kind pieces that would carry a much greater value into the future, as opposed to a toy figure that was produced in an (albeit) limited run.
i know it’s not about the money, it’s about the art, and partially about the thrill of the chase to find these things, but at some point it comes down to “is it worth it?”, and to me (as someone who does try to collect art) it doesn’t seem worth it at all.
sorry to sound like the capitalist dad over here…
that thing would be brutal if it werent dressed like bart simpson… coincidentally, for less than $100 you could get an original jt, or a gary kisser.
$1000..geez
japanese kids will buy anything.
“i’m not going to spend $100 on a tshirt just cuz Futura took a shit on it.”
-actually said by yours truly in a “board meeting” with mr. marc ecko. needless to say, i didn’t get the job. but who cares, that fucker was wearing a 3-piece suit made out of DENIM!! what?!?!
actually this toy looks like it’s made out of poop. literally.
glad to see pushead is finally cashin in on the japanese slash american too cool for school scene, though. “artistic” graffitti artists and rotting corpses are the next big thing. i swear. i’ve been to japan.
ask saucemaster who the real ‘shit artist (2000)’ is… id like to see something that was done by pushead that i couldnt tell was done by pushead, like maybe if he designed the machine that made these out of actual shit…
