No Future Companion by KAWS and Hajime Sorayama
June 25, 2009 - By Bobby Solomon - Category: Art & Design & Illustration
Oh holy crap. This is by far one of the most amazing “toys” I think I’ve ever seen. Vinyl toy/graffiti genius/focus of Japanese accolade KAWS has teamed up with legendary Japanese artist Hajime Sorayama to create the amazing No Future Companion you see above. The figure was based on Soriyama’s painting he did back in 2006, and as you can see they did an amazing job. The whole thing is made out of metal, and features articulation and ton of little details.
But of course, in typical KAWS fashion, the figure is $980. That’s more than my rent. Nonetheless, if I had money to burn I’d buy this puppy in a heartbeat. Check out a ton more photos and detail shots under the cut. Such a beauty.
