Well, the release of the KAWS Dissected Be@rbrick came and went with a predictable, yet impressive, line that stretched city blocks around Tokyo’s OriginalFake shop.

The Splash Page over at OriginalFake has a teaser posted. Fresh off the sellout of the $3000 4-ft KAWS, this jumble features a bunch of images that allude to a Kaws Dissected Companion.
