Kaws “Partners” Figure, by fingerz on Jan 22, 2012 21:19:05 GMT 1, KAWS fans out there will be pleased to know that the next figure from the street turned contemporary artist has dropped. Partners features a sculpt of the artist standing next to his companion figure. If this looks familiar, it’s because you probably have seen the statue at Disneyland featuring Walt Disney standing next to Mickey Mouse although not cringing like in this version.

Kaws “Partners” Figure, by sal on Jan 22, 2012 22:03:29 GMT 1, not sure if I'll be getting this, but I like the concept - the old fashioned bronze sculpture on a base, and the fact that the companion is not really a big fan of Kaws...

Kaws “Partners” Figure, by brendan1985 on Jan 23, 2012 14:06:55 GMT 1, Does anyone know if these are actually bronze. I would assume not But in some of the close up photos and even in this picture the mold joins seem far to rough if they are made of vinyl. It is especially noticeable in the "crossbones" of the companion

Kaws “Partners” Figure, by Happy Shopper on Jan 23, 2012 18:19:23 GMT 1, That is Dope..... and I don't use that word lightly! 
But I actually think that is the coolest release by any artist in this scene in as long as I can remember!
Really hope it comes like that, with the white base.
(I may live to regret my excitement... but hey ho...)

Yes the double base mimics the base at Disney.

It's rarely announced, but theory is 500 for most toys. Some 1000.

Quite like this and the edition size does not bother me but I would like to know the approximate size of the piece and whether it comes on the white base. Sort of key to the decision from an aesthetics perspective...

Kaws “Partners” Figure, by lifeonwalls on Jan 23, 2012 19:27:41 GMT 1, I'd say it's probably 10 inches tall and agree that knowing that would be VERY helpful information. The fact that it's missing only leads me to believe that it's smaller than what most think.
(toyqube had them for $190, but are now $225)
I like it, but not enough to buy.

I would guess 9'' with the base (most recent releases were around that size).. also, seeing the same base is shown on 2 different images, I have a feeling the piece does come with the white base, and I like that...

I wish it wasn't plastic or didn't try to look like brass.
