KAWS Reimagines MTV Moonman for 2013 VMAs, by Happy Shopper on Jul 11, 2013 15:38:24 GMT 1, I like Kaws but I don't get this at all. It means nothing. If I was an actor and I won an Oscar, I want a real Oscar statue not a Kaws toy. Same here I'd want an MTV moonman not a Kaws toy. Not that there's anything wrong with Kaws toys, I own some, they're fine. But they're two different things. They have no meaning in regards to this. It makes no sense .... just like putting a kaws balloon in the Thanksgiving Day parade. It looked ridiculous, out of place.
I know what you mean about wanting to win the real award... some artists might be a bit pissed off (as kaws said himself in the interview)
On the other hand, it'll be a bit more valuable than the real ones, and who'd grumble. It's free !
Good PR for Kaws and MTV though. Plenty of extra press they can get out of this.

These are more unique than a regular moon man. Plus, MTV awards are not as high regarded as an Oscar, two totally different levels. As for the KAWS balloon, so you are saying it looked out of place next to a buch of cartoon characters? You're crazy!!

KAWS Reimagines MTV Moonman for 2013 VMAs, by Happy Shopper on Jul 11, 2013 18:12:05 GMT 1, I imagine he was included in the Macy's Parade because he's a New York artist, and after Murakami did a good job there's not many artists they can ask for that sort of thing.
It was different, and confused many people, but at least it's not another balloon promoting a nasty product (unless of course you count Kaws as a nasty product !  )
