Kaws 4ft brown (without original box !) hammered EUR 27K at Artcurial which is 34K all in

Dissected one (WITH original box) hammered EUR 28K which is 35,250 all in

You should have pulled the trigger on them!

Euhhhh, you'd be nice to start you own Thread please and not pollute mine, thank you

[sufsean]

4ft companions. Open to any color option of the 6, but would be great to choose as well

LMK- thanks!

[lobsta]

Hey I was wondering how do you display your big guys? This applies for any big guy ultimately I know a handful of artist make em.

I have a black 4 footer and the vinyl is very delicate on the black shows scuffs and scratches very easily. Thinking I'm about to put him behind an acrylic case but was wondering what do you guys do?

All help appreciated!

[Philpenn]

Build it a coffin shaped case made out of wood painted black, with a plexiglass front. Make sure to send KAWS a picture once completed too.

[chevyav53]

So I see all these requests for cases for vinyl figures. Serious question, why? I don't understand what the cases will help against unless in some sort of "risky area"?

Do you have birds or roaches in the house that will shit all over them? Not sure how to dust? They in the kitchen gathering grease? I have a KAWS, Gondek and a few others coming so would love to know why.

[sufsean]

Anyone selling one of these (4 footers)?

Best bet is probably auction house at this point. Wouldn't want to risk it nowadays with all the fakes out there.

Probably looking at 35-40k now.

[rogerwu99]

Any other tips for spotting Kaws 4 foot fakes? There's one for sale in the upcoming Phillips auction, but it appears that the flayed ones (probably because of more details that fakers can mess up) is easier to determine if fake. Seems like outside of weight which is hard to determine online, dot number is the only other trick...

Really just want to ensure they have the black certificate, real box, correct weight.

Eyeballing them isn't even safe now as they have fakes that good. You used to be able to tell by the feet, but they have since fixed the gap. Unfortunately if you want a legit 4' its best to go through source for the bronze ones, but I believe they start at around 250k.

Thanks for that. 
I've had a lot of sellers say that they've tossed the box (I can see why since its not like the Bearbrick 1000% box ... its just a huge brown box)
Certificate is also something that people have seemed to "toss" (unacceptable in my opinion, but not completely crazy)
When you say "source" do you mean going via galleries or calling up Kaws?
BTW, for NYC folks there's a 10 foot BFF on display at 79th and Mad

Yep, if you got the money you can buy them direct from him/gallery.

I don't think anyone that bought these when they came out expected the fakes or price increase to what it is today so they disregarded things that now mean the most to authentication.

[lobsta]

The box is off on that 4 ft BTW

[lobsta]

it should specify the color variation on the box. i.e. black, brown, or grey version.

no disrespect but he definitely is a repost king, we had a conversation about how to frame his art recently he really had no idea what the differences were. Very very nice gentleman though, he means nothing but the best and has the proper passion...for what thats worth

Hahaha I’m not getting into this conversation but Justin is a solid source of knowledge. This was great to stumble into though.

Hi
Looking for a signed Kaws 4 feet companion, would prefer a black one but I’m interested in all signed 4 feet ones.

Best
D

[lobsta]

only signed ones I really know of are nigos yeah?

[Philpenn]

I can supply a picture of the hologram jawn. I can not post it here however due to Photobucket's jitbaggery. Feel free to PM if you want it, and we can take this to email.

[Wrinkled Brain]

Was thinking the same thing. I assume it will be extremely difficult to find one signed with an edition size of only 100 made. 

[lobsta]

even less than 100 for the black it felt like I found a crazy unicorn when I found my black

I have the black one and it scuffs extremely easily...as easy as dusting with something incorrect. I live in a studio so theres nowhere to really put it too far out of the way
