Kaws Small Lie Companion, by Carl Cashman on Dec 24, 2017 8:47:31 GMT 1,
i'm wandering for the new figure small lies what is the edition number 100 ....500....1000....  ?? It was 4500, but the system was slowed to limit a certain number of orders per minute. Heard it from Brian himself.
So they sold less than 4500 of each in over a week ? As they are still for sale

Kaws Small Lie Companion, by b1470 on Dec 24, 2017 11:48:01 GMT 1, before Medicom/kaws did open editions, they were still making thousands of units per release. Remember back in the the day when the 16 inch companion was 500 units. I think thatโs why the last small lie didnโt sell out, too many.
Small lie
4000(supposedly) units per colorway
12000 total units x $230=$2,760,000!
With the print set, open editions, Jordanโs, small lie etc... overkill

It did before. This will most probably be moved to the Kaws section at some point.

Of course not. It's just kind of a ridiculous question for the OP to ask when the 'edition size' of the toys hasn't been publicly released. The OP should try infiltrating the medicom manufacturing plant for that type of info.

Kaws Small Lie Companion, by volvic on Dec 24, 2017 19:51:38 GMT 1, I really donโt understand why people moan about kaws.
Anyone else who grows a business to international acclaim through hard work is applauded and their rewards are justified but for some reason collectors expect Brian to still produce editions of 500 for a 10th of their market value just so people can Feel Like they got a deal and most would then flip.
Same would happen if James suddenly decided to double his retail
Price point at supreme.
Funny that!
Honestly get with the times. Supply meets demand itโs really not a new business model.
If you take away the fact that you canโt flip these on eBay for double the next day and actually look at these as toys, they are probably kaws best set to date and I have no problem paying 250
dollars for one. Heโs designed it and produced it and itโs original. Itโs the same price as a pair of yeezys but itโs ok to charge that even though they are produced in the hundreds of thousands because they can be flipped.
Genuine art and toy lovers are not buying these. Which is the real
Sad part to this release, not the edition size.
However I do wish Brian was more transperant wifh the edition size.

That is some serious nonsense. The stock at Perotin Gallery was about 3200 per colorway.
imgur.com/zolfsRV
It took 5 hours for the stock at Kaws to sell out. I'd lay money on it being a run of 10,000 each if Perrotin was given that many to sell. It's *still* in stock at Perrotin.
Last time I buy anything from Brian without knowing an exact edition number.

I would agree with you knowing the exact number or what stores are selling them. But that kills the hype, so he wonโt go down that route.

Itโs Uniqlo, in the UK a lot of shops have closed down. Never saw the buzz until the recent artist release.
Iโve bought various artist T-shirtโs in there, but I wouldnโt shop there. T-shirtโs are cheap not like the crazy prices original fake charged.
ยฃ15-20 T-shirt versus ยฃ100, yeah itโs a no brainer. But in reality I wouldnโt buy anything else from Uniqlo..

Itโs quite hard to dilute the value of branded art. They cAn make as many as they like - and people would still queue for them like LV bags.
