Try calling - this was the only way I could order mine (include coupon code for $10 off, too).

Sorry for the double post. Saw that they were available and just thought I'd go the quicker route.

Kaws Open Edition now up on MoMA Store, by Howard Johnson on May 17, 2017 19:18:56 GMT 1, Damn these editions. Told myself I'd only get a grey one originally, but had to pull the trigger on the other two. Dope move by kaws to kill the reproduction market on these early companions!

Kaws Open Edition now up on MoMA Store, by yorkie on May 17, 2017 19:42:01 GMT 1, I hope all the people that want one manage to get one.... for me, its not something that I have any interest of having on display and I don't see the point in spending 200 dollars plus shipping on something just to collect.... its a big pass.

I think they're cool but after shipping and customs charge I'm looking at about 300 Canadian dollars. So it's a pass for me. I'm glad they are easily accessible for the fans and collectors

I imagine it will stay open until the "this is were the end starts" exhibition tour is finished. It would be nice if they were cheaper, but for a fan like myself whos always wanted these but was to scared to by on the open market, these are a fantastic alternative. With each Kaws print release we all bitch and moan about how he only caters to VIPS and this is his way of allowing everyone to get a legit and iconic kaws.
Personally, I didn't buy these as any sort of investment, but it should be noted that even open editions can become valuable. Warhol's Cows are a good example. All were open editions, and they now go for around 10k. I seriously doubt that Kaws will end up being as significant as the master pop artist, but I'd venture to guess you could at least make your money back if you wanted to sell them in a few years.
A final note. I've never owned any collectable vinyl before this release, and I have to say the dissected ones are kinda freaky in person. Maybe I watched too many horror movies as a kid, but I'm always looking over at them making sure their heads arnt turned toward me, lol.

Kaws Open Edition now up on MoMA Store, by sczoso on May 26, 2017 13:37:34 GMT 1, Just received my Black Flayed Companion from MoMa. However, I am conflicted - considering displaying it in the unopened package. I guess we never know if these will increase in value in the future, right?

They look so much better out of the packaging. The colours are amazing on my black flayed. I just opened it carefully and saved the packaging. They are an open edition so I wouldn't worry too much about value. I'm glad he's releasing more. The flippers must be well annoyed.

Kaws Open Edition now up on MoMA Store, by frankiefrench on Jun 9, 2017 11:31:27 GMT 1, I got my black flayed and ripped that sucker straight out of the packaging and put him in the glass cabinet.
Not interested in what it might be worth as its an open edition and anyone buying open edition for prospective investment is a fool.
I'm enjoying my toys, several thousand of them going back to the 50s, 60s & 70s, no clue what they're worth and they will never be for sale, i'll probably have to buy a pyramid to be buried in!
