Mr. Dob Murakami ComplexCon, by ksn on Mar 19, 2017 20:27:08 GMT 1, Can someone please explain to me why all of his prints have that annoying legal disclaimer at the bottom? I have not bought any of his work purely because of this. Why are they there?! I suppose they're viewed more as merchandise than 'fine art'. But as his practise largely revolves around blurring the boundaries between the two that's not necessarily a bad thing. Wouldn't surprise me if even his megabucks blue chip work has little Kaikai Kiki copyright notices on them somewhere The prints from Kaikaikiki don't have disclaimers on them.

It's all about Murakami's 'design' rights. I've never owned one of his screenprint editions (50) but would guess the same.

Mr. Dob Murakami ComplexCon, by Shoot Again on Mar 20, 2017 9:53:21 GMT 1, I'm going against popular opinion with this thought but that's okay. This was a neat release and all but in my humble opinion it's been grossly overhyped, specifically by the infamous trust fund kids that plague IG. You guys know the ones, 10k followings and just collect expensive popular things because of hype. I'm already sick of seeing these honestly, even though I do consider myself a Murakami fan. Lol I could've bought these when they were for preorder back during complex con but opted for clothing instead. Clothing instead of those Mmhhhhhhhh, to each his own I guess ;-)

Mine both had noticeable paint blemishes on the face area. They have a 'Chinese Quality" and poison smell like a Kid Robot toy. The producing company Bait was once called Mindstyle( read up on that s**tstorm) I believe these are made from resin/plastic not soft vinyl.

The producing company Bait was once called Mindstyle( read up on that s**tstorm) I believe these are made from resin/plastic not soft vinyl. That's unfortunate about the staining. Both of my have some slight discoloration in the white of the spiral on the small sphere jutting out to the side/bottom. But that's it, and it's not really big or noticeable.
Were they advertised as soft vinyl? I don't really remember at this point. I love what they're made out of - love the weight that goes along with the material.
Just have to figure out where the hell to display them now...
