Apologies in advance for welcoming you back from your long weekend with another toy you can’t afford, but here goes anyway. KAWS has collaborated with Japanese artist Hajime Sorayama on a 13-inch, 6.6-pound metal sculpture with movable parts. The figure will be released in silver/chrome and black/chrome colorways with coordinated T-shirts also available. This is an exciting and inspired partnership that pairs KAWS’ signature style with Sorayama’s cyber-sexy imagery. Now for the bad news…those shirts will run you about $112 USD and the figure? Well that will set you back $1,400 USD. Got something snarky to say about that? Chew on this: KAWS just made #70 on Fast Company’s 100 Most Creative People In Business.

This is cool for a kaws figure i must say. He should make the figure brass though, because that’s what his balls are made of for charging over 100 dollars for a fucking tshirt. I seriously think this is some kind of social experiment to see how much hipster japanese girls and guys with faux hawks are willing to shell out for a tee. Somewhere a little bald white guy is laughing at you.
