His Companion character has become one of the most immediately recognizable figures in contemporary art and design.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eWHAT PARTY pushes that vocabulary in a different direction. Instead of the comparatively lean proportions associated with the traditional Companion, KAWS exaggerates the body into a heavily segmented, almost padded form while retaining the visual signatures that make the character unmistakable.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe result feels simultaneously familiar and completely different—part sculpture, part character design and part commentary on contemporary consumer culture.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Pink edition is particularly effective visually. The intense monochromatic finish strips away almost every distraction and leaves the silhouette, crossed eyes and sculptural form to carry the piece.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eDISPLAY APPEAL\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is one of those collectibles that works particularly well outside a dedicated toy collection.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe saturated pink becomes an immediate focal point against neutral interiors, black shelving, concrete, stone or natural wood. At roughly 11 inches tall, it is substantial enough to display independently rather than disappearing among smaller collectibles.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt also pairs naturally with contemporary art, street art and design collections featuring artists such as KAWS, Shepard Fairey, Banksy, Keith Haring, Takashi Murakami and Bearbrick\/Medicom collectibles.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eINCLUDED IN THIS SALE\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e1 × KAWS WHAT PARTY Pink figure\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e1 × Original KAWS WHAT PARTY Medicom Toy box\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eNo additional accessories are included unless specifically shown in the photographs.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eSHIPPING\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe figure and original box will be carefully packed for shipment, with particular attention paid to protecting the collectible packaging.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eYou will receive the exact KAWS figure and original box shown in the listing photographs.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cbr\u003eListed with ExportYourStore.com","brand":"Medicom Toy","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45862294290567,"sku":"new_KAWS_Companion_Flayed_Op_ABF","price":250.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0658\/3179\/6871\/files\/57_b5ec5bb7-a589-4b6c-9388-8b6046673b3e.jpg?v=1789509694","url":"https:\/\/gauntlet.gallery\/products\/kaws-what-party-pink-companion-figure-11-medicom-toy-2020-w-original-box","provider":"Gauntlet Gallery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
