OriginaFake, the brainchild of Medicom and Kaws, held a grand opening today in Aoyama, Japan. The main draw, other than Kaws himself, had to be the world’s largest Companion. It is 10 feet tall and resembles an anatomic model. There was nothing for sale today; but OriginaFake will begin selling Kaws items such as the silkscreen prints, pin sets and t-shirts starting tomorrow. There will also be limited edition 100%, 400%, and 1000% OriginaFake Be@rbricks for sale.
