Kaws x Original Fake – Companion Key Chains

I haven't seen them in person, they just didn't appear your normal cell phone charm.
(and don't feel the need to have a "trendy" keychain to drag around the office,
I prefer something in silver).

I don't love these just don't hate them. But I think that comes from liking the originals.

 

Threadjack, but why are Kaws Chums flooding the aftermarkets?
Did they rerelease them when they released the keychains?

 

I feel like it's just hype. People are searching for the Chum key chains and so people are thinking now is the time to cash in on their Chums. Chums came out quite a few years back.

 

A store in Hong Kong found a couple of boxes of the white/yellow/clear versions un-opened that had sat in storage for yrs. I think they had about 3 dozen of each. I guess they found them when the kaws keychains came in.

 

Could they be bootlegs ?

 

they could be but it think a legit source in hk confirmed the story they were found in storage.

 

seems like impossible to fake 3 completely different colorways perfect, 3 different zipbags,
3 different stickers, the inner plastic bag and loads of dust.
wait until all those 5YL companions drop that havent sold.

just got in white - looking good. now if anyone else already has number 311 - hit me up!

 

I remember someone on this board gunning to complete a Chums collection back in 2006. The white was so elusive at that time, people were paying north of $1k for one. He later dropped out of the toy scene to focus on customizing his Mini Cooper.

 

He was the photographer, I forget his name also.

 

Okay, I'll buy into the hype on these. Must get the whole set!!!

 

It's the closest thing to a mono dissected i'll ever have..............oh well.
