I am officially confused is the black version a chase? KR website shows only photos of the black version but it says blind box

The blind box thing is a mistake. The black is a variant available exclusively from Kidrobot.

I feel like I should really like it, but I don't. Something just doesn't seem proportionally correct. Maybe ill like it in one of the guaranteed 15 colour ways ;)

Don't like it to be honest.. skull, helmet, white gloves: for the win,
but i'm just tired of all these components..
Or maybe i just don't feel this guy. -

I love Yosuke Ueno's art and this painting so after I saw the computer generated model was preparing myself to get one. But when i saw the final piece i changed my mind... it's too average. A glossy white one perhaps and i'd change my mind.

The whole thing about street art is accessibility. If you got a spray can and some cojones you can do it. I mean the very core of it is that everybody can do it, the poorest of the poor. Art has historically been for rich old people, and street art opened it up to poor young people. Somehow the jump from street to shop completely mutates that and turns $50 of resin into $775. I guess it must be real art now.

I think his street art is pretty awesome really. But all the translations of that to prints or anything else I've seen don't work for me. It's not that he revolutionized the way pretty letters are drawn. People have been drawing pretty letters for centuries and Eine isn't close to the best. But he put giant ones on the sides of buildings in compelling and unusual ways, and that's why it was worth looking at.
But I know a guy's gotta make a living. -

It's available through Sync, Medicom's new online store/brand, I've added the link for you.
They only ship to Japan however, I'm not sure if you can find them anywhere else. -

I'm guessing Stolen Space will stock them. Wouldn't make sense for somewhere in London to not have them. -

1,000 is pretty limited for a big global release.
The coarse mini omens were limited to 800 pieces, and they are already pretty hard to come by at a decent price.
Anyway surely its about how much you love the design, not how limited/flippable the piece is? -
11 years ago
I'm a collector, I hunt for a collectible items. So limited edition has great importance for me, as for any collector I suppose. I like good designer toys, but good & rare designer toys I like much more. )
-
11 years ago
So the perceived value of the piece is as important to you as the design?
-
11 years ago
Yes. Do you have another opinion?
-
11 years ago
Its not an opinion, it was an honest question. I'm always interested to find out why people collect what they collect.

I Agree it's pricey for a 1000 edition piece but then again we don't know how much of each KAWS figure is produced aswell, and people pay top dollar for that. Is that perceived as a non collectible then or is that different because everybody wants it ?
-
-
11 years ago
Of course an edition is a relative value, and 1000 still limited. But as I know McBess not such famous artist. I don't understand where KR took the number of the edition. And I don't understand why KR made excitement around the figure. May be KR just tried to catch success wave of Dunny Evolved Series and Mermaid figure.
-

Maybe they had to make a minimum of 1000 pieces to keep the piece affordable. It's a 2 piece, 10" statue with a extra prop and a whole lot of detail. I can imagine the production cost of this being a bit higher than let's say a 8" dunny.
Anyhow, it's true that 1000 might be a bit on the high side but even if it was a ediion of 10.000, I would've bought one nonetheless. It's an amazing and affordable 3D form of his art.
And McBess is a well known artist here in Europe. Unbelievable that they made what, only 50 (?) available here? -
-
11 years ago
I was just typing up a reply, but HonestCrooks said exactly what I was about to say in a much more concise way.
So what he said :) -
-
-
143 2057 263
11 years ago
I haven't been aware of McBess for long, but from what I've seen, I'm personally VERY impressed. Also, with all the new toys being released by McBess, popularity will increase quite quickly I think.
Also, when an artist isn't 'hugely' known, advertising & flaunting a toy seems like the logical choice. That way, numerous non-fans see it, become fans, and thus increase the fan-base.
Thus, i say, flaunt the hell out of new toys! -

"Childhood nostalgia" isn't normally what I think of with Keyes. It's all about tension and conflicting elements. I think it doesn't work as sculpture because some detail is lost and his art depends a lot on realism. Plus the water looks stupid.

I think the elephant bothers me more than the water. The animals in his prints look so life like, yet the elephant in this sculpt just doesn't look right. Maybe its the sculpting/sculptor thats the issue.
