Size is probably similar to all previous Open Editions, just sitting down.

Yes, if you dig through his feed and find the right post.
Not mentioned in the email though.
Hypebeast even have it promoted as a restock!

He's way too greedy to do anything less than OE for the general public. If it were limited it would be VIP/Friends Fam with 1 going to the general public. Also, too much money to be made selling small vinyl pieces in plastic bags now. He already put #OpenEdition so I don't think anyone needs to assume anything different. |

Passing Through was always one of my favorites. So picking up the Original version will be a great addition to my coffee table. I think it's definitely a classic. I also like that I don't need to worry about it getting dirty or discoloring. Just sit back and enjoy it for awhile.
It wold be even better if he knocked the price down slightly as they're open edition vinyl pieces.
Would love to see him produce an OE larger vinyl piece, maybe in the 2' range. I would then be much more inclined to spend more $ to have something displayable that large OE or Limited. A nice 2' version of Passing Through would be a dream. I'd plunk down 1k a piece.

On his IG post you can see that's this edition has not the same size as the previous release. Moreover, Kaws marks it as an "Open Edition".
Really like them, but I will save the money for a limited edition.

Great that he's at last been upfront and honest on the details of one of these OE releases!
To my mind though, a Lazzarini Companion, Bendy or Warm Regards Bar would still be better value than these.

Kaws Passing Through Companion, by shy on Sept 5, 2018 11:41:00 GMT 1, Thanks guys. I appreciate you posting the image.
In the past it has been very very difficult to get through when trying to buy.
Last time there were many glitches and I never ended up with the product. But in the end they did not charge my credit card even though they confirmed my order... it was very strange.
Hopefully this time it will go smoother assuming I am even able to get through the massive flood of buyers
