Last year in June, we saw the release of the 4 feet Companion toy from the artist KAWS. The toy which cost $2500 USD was instantly sold out when it was released. Recently some friends of KAWS including Nigo and Kei had a visit to KAWS' studio in New York. In one of the pictures from his blog, there is a 4 feet Companion in a Black colorway. Unfortunately, there is currently no information whether this is an upcoming release or just a sample made for "friends and family".
