Description
This is a very RARE, mint condition KAWS Companion from 1999. This was the FIRST vinyl figure that KAWS released. It was produced in collaboration with BOUNTY HUNTER. Kaws, today, as many collectors know, is one of the leading American street/pop cultural artists, This edition is rooted at the beginning of his extraordinary career. Note that KAWS will not make vinyl figures forever, so when he stops, the value of these will go much much higher. The figure was signed by KAWS on the bottom of the foot in 2000 (in Tokyo). About Bounty Hunter: Bounty Hunter, a clothing boutique in Tokyo seems to be a very important link between East and West in the world of vinyl. Founded in 1995, the boutique quickly gained a cult reputation for 1970s music and popular culture paraphernalia. I'm talking Sex Pistols, Ramones, The Clash t-shirts and Star Wars and Cap'n Crunch toys. They then started collaborating with other artists, colleagues, and friends, creating original t-shirt designs. Out of this was born one of the first vinyl figures- Kid Hunter. Kid Hunter was the brainchild of the well established Japanese graphic designer Skatething, responsible for the clothing company A Bathing Ape and the fashion label 40% Against Rights. Initially Kid Hunter was produced by Bounty Hunter as a sort of accessory that, was free with the purchase of a t-shirt. After Kid Hunter, Skull Kun was the second vinyl figure conceived of by Hikaru Iwanaga and produced by Bounty Hunter.
