Hajime Sorayama ๐ฏ๐ต Sexy Robot โข Kaws โข Art For Sale , by cashman on Jun 28, 2009 0:25:37 GMT 1, Weren't just about all companions ever made editions of 500 in multiple colorways?....these are on the same lines... Yeah, exactly, these are on the same lines, I was thinking this would be a bit more unique. It certainly would be more special if there weren't 1500 units produced and it's not exactly cheap. Kaws will rake in 1.5 million dollars from this if there are 3 variations, that's what's sick. I like the piece it's just a little tiresome how everyone milks everything for colorways, versions.
Kaws will rake in 1.5 mil ? please,...
How much do you think the foundry that cast this figure got paid to make the many different parts?
How much do you think the people that assembled them got paid?
How much did it cost to manufacture the packaging?
How much does Sorayama get?
How much does Medicom get?
And ive never read anything about a 3rd colorway, but we'll see I guess

Hajime Sorayama ๐ฏ๐ต Sexy Robot โข Kaws โข Art For Sale , by snausages on Jun 28, 2009 0:32:38 GMT 1, Obviously people have to be paid Cash but 1.5 MILLION Dollars gross for 1500 toys is fricking ridiculous. You can't tell me they wouldn't have made a very healthy profit with one run.
This is now added to the now tens of thousands of prior toys and I'm sure over the next few years there will be tens of thousands of more Kaws toys. So you got to think how much total worldwide value there is in Kaws toys now? I can't guess how many millions of dollars people have tied up in it and will continue to tie more up in it over the next 5-10 yrs. If everyone decides to cash out at once, look out below.

Personally im not usually into toys, but these to me just have something a bit more special about them, but it is a shame on how big the edition size is

Hajime Sorayama ๐ฏ๐ต Sexy Robot โข Kaws โข Art For Sale , by thegreatarchitect on Jun 28, 2009 14:25:33 GMT 1, anyone know when / where the silver chrome ones will drop? Huh? Another version coming too? Jeez, was out at lunch or I'd be having one of these delivered. As consolation to anyone who missed out FYI the price of Kaws Chums on ebay has dropped recently as there is a sudden abundance of the clear, yellow and white Chums on ebay. Seems as though a toy store in HK or somewhere over there found some deadstock and released them to the public for about $200, and the public in turn released them to ebay. It's legit from everything I've seen. They're a limited edition of 500 to 1000 I think depending on the color. Scored a colored one recently for $550, (not digging the clear) think they used to go for closer to about $800-1000 depending on color/edition size. I expect the price will start to creep back up in about a month as soon as all the flippers have flipped. There couldn't have been all that many. And the Chums are my favorite characters by Kaws by far.
'' Found some dead stock and released them'' Sound awfully suspicious.

Totally agree ,given the origin of said pieces, I've seen the same thing occur with deadstock sneaks/trainers over the last couple of years,surprise surprise these were all 'found' in stores in HK
Caveat emptor

But they'd have to be near perfect recreations as no one has complained about the quality, also it's not exactly a lucrative idea to perfectly recreate a small run of 3 different plastic molded pieces with 3 custom cellophane bags and simply sell them for $200. And no one as yet has complained about duplicate numbers as each one is numbered-that would be the kicker-few or none of the ebay sellers are hiding the numbers. Also they were released by a (from what I read) 'very reputable' store in HK. And back when they were initially released Kaws wasn't exactly the gold rush he is today so it's quite possible these got overlooked. I'm not a Kaws aficionado but go to the Kid Robot forum, those guys are experts and have pretty much given their blessing to them.

dudebro17 (formerly known as ricosg11) - For someone who loves to comment on flipping, it's pretty f**king funny to see you flipping a Kaws.
Are you saving up for a Parla? Is he giving you a good price because you report to him with any news on the secondary market you can to get your nose a bit further up his ass? I don't think he really needs a cheerleader, but if he does, I guess you're the c**t for the job.

With 500 of these made they won't be hard to come by. And another 500 (possibly more) on the way with a 'different' chrome, who cares anymore. The jigs almost up on Kaws basically, if you haven't made your money on him, it's not going to be easy anymore as his stuff is not cheap even from source. There needs to be a lot of free money floating around to support the amount of these entering the secondary market.
