KAWS X PUSHEAD COMPANION


Sculpted by Cosmo Liquid
10.5" VInyl, Medicom Toy, medicomtoy.co.jp, pusfan.com

In what may be the sickest artist toy collab to date, KAWS teamed
up with Pushead t issue a very special version of his signature character,
the Companion, in time to debut at Pushead's Anniversary Celebration
at the World Character Convention in Japan in December. A top-secret
Japan-only release, this toy shocked unsuspecting fans at the event and
has been fetching prices near the $1K mark on eBay since. The princely
sums are due to the extraordinary limited edition of the figure, and the
exact number of figures remains disclosed by the artists (estimates on the
Internet are incorrect). Is it worth it? Start selling your other junk now...

10" & 2.5" plastic, Medicom Toy, medicomtoy.co.jp, pusfan.com

the artist released this deluxe "Psyche Bandit" Be@rbrick set at Japan's
annual World Character Convention in Japan this winter.

4" white flocked vinyl, Secreat Base Toys, secret-b.com, pusfan.com

As the final nail in the coffin of his silver anniversary, Pushead released
this exclusive white-flocked version of his Secret Base Skullwing character,
several of which the artist hand-painted especially for the event.

WALK OF FAME


NIKE SB "Bruised" DUNKS


by Pushead, nikesb.com, pusfan.com

In Nike SB's most epic artist collaboration to date, skate art legend Pushead
designed his own signature "Bruised" dunks, created to resemble how your foot
looks when you get a heel bruise from thrashing too hard. From the box to the
shoes to the tissue paper the shoes come wrapped in, every part of the package
bears the artist's touch, including a mini box of "Bruised" socks available in (where else?)
Japan only. Needless to say, these disappeared on the double quick.
