I'm too broke to understand the appeal of this
S. Pirtle like i rlly dont get it 7k for this shit ? rich ppl getting ripped off like its to easy
J.R. Smith they would have to get ripped. Balance of society😂
@@jomo148 it's best not to critique people on what they buy or spend their money on. Plus most collectors items cost a lot of money, especially if they're by a famous artist like KAWS. I myself couldn't dream of affording a KAWS companion but I can respect the people that do.
Nah you just have common sense and good taste.
@@jomo148 these things go up prices with time so not really a rip off
If they were affordable, they wouldn’t be that popular.
facts
True
Funko pops are affordable, and super popular.
@UCW7K1fmgKPrb5YEXfNYbQ4g funko pops are popular because they’re affordable pieces of merchandise of multiple franchises. No one besides collectors buys the Freddy funko pops.
explain Murakami then?
Never heard of these, sounds like a dystopian future concept
Real life nft
Ive seen it in a mall
I want your pfp
@@sidekyboy exactly what I thought.
Cool, it's "taking down Mickey Mouse" by also being a symbol of greed and it even represents financial status now. Something tells me the "art world" in this is more of an insular and exclusive club full of rich celebrities and their gullible fans. I can't wait to eyeroll harder after just finding out about it.
very eloquently put, couldn't have said it better myself.
I don’t get it either, like the statues more than the figurines though
So true
Figure nfts
These look just like NFTs
this is the toy that rich people buy for their kids on christmas
Not jim tamang I got 2 this year
@@thiendao8328 waste of money
AY TJ obviously ,you’re not their product’s market / target, what do you think about people spending thousands even millions for a pair of shoes / watches? if you still thinks that its a waste of money, and you’re not fit with this kind of world. if they love it, surely they will spend their hard earn money for these things, and you won’t feel what they would feel.
Febrian 🤦🏾♂️
@@aytj2073 LOL, you're not well informed are you? If I told you how much money I've made re-selling kaws toys you'd plotz. Better than the stock market.
This was the toy that got looted in the riots
U E i saw that one. Damn!!
It was a big one to 😂
Where?
Estimated to be worth 80-180k on the resale market
U E luckily the store managed to track down the looters
I was expecting a brief reason why ppl are attracted or how the artist come up with this twist. The Hyde explanation for Murakami is much satisfying.
y
Facts!
He came up with the twist by putting a skull and crossbones on the mascot for the company he used to work for. simple as that. then some idiots with more money than sense started buying them as a quirky status symbol.
Literally the first I'm hearing of these and they feel like they're like, a plot point made up for a movie meant to parody how the art world can often be stuck up it's own butt a lot of the time. These aren't bad figures per say, but they look very dime a dozen like most other Disney deconstruction type figures. Sure, it came out in 1999, but it's not as if there wasn't Disney criticism back then.
The large art installations are defintely the more interesting aspect of it, as I'm very much a fan of gigantic installations. But when it definitely feels like the hype is due in part to it just being a status symbol, and it also is guilty of the same kind of consumerism as what's being criticized, it rings hollow and feels like a rich person's version of a beanie baby. Or it feels like it's Disney for people who are too self conscious to own Disney merch because it's not "mature" enough and they'd be embarrassed by it.
TL;DR: These would make nice 20$ Funco type pops for shelfs but its ludicrous that they're as expensive as they are for how uninspired they feel.
Trust me man, as a Kaws enjoyer myself, the price on these figurines are crazily expensive, but it’s another Hypebeast thing so I guess questions are unnecessary, just buy one if you really want it or not, it wouldn’t matter.
real, this shit is disgusting. if youre gonna make art, make one piece, theres no fucking point of mass production, art is for self-expression, and should never be made for profit to this extent
@@skreebim9612 I feel like it would be a little less scummy if, say, Kaws handcrafted these individually, or added some sort of unique touch to each; something to make each figure feel like an individual work of art that's part of a series. Instead, what's happened is they're mass produced in artificially limited quantities. No different than piece of mass-produced art from Ikea. I feel like most of the people buying these things are either rich, or think they can become rich buy buying one at a low price and selling it to some other sucker for high (hm, kind of sound like those non-fuggable toucans actually), so... If people want to waste their money on this type of thing, I guess there's really no stopping them
@@codyboi0668 an nft bc then at least it would be easier to hide
There was one on my reese's puffs box and I was so confused
It’s interesting how he came up. He basically just slapped his logo on other brands and people loved it.
That's why he's the original fake.
He actually came up as a street / graffiti artist way before this
Like DJ Khaled.....
Is that not what Andy Warhol did with Campbell’s soup?
What's his logo?
To be honest, i won't be surprised if they started nfts it's almost predictable for these types of "art" figurines.
every google image of them are gonna be nfts
literally my thoughts as i was watching, this type of shit just screams nfts.
Kaws: can I copy your homework?
Mickey Mouse: sure, just change it up a bit so it doesn't look obvious that you copied
Kaws:

ITS A COLLABORATION

right omg

This is the epitome of hype. Dude just put a different head on Mickey and now is making millions if not billions. Can't knock him for seizing his moment though, but glad to see the comments are the opposite of what I was expecting them to be.
Can't forget sesame street he did it with elmo to
Same with Revenge X Storm “art” “fashion” nowadays is rebranding and reusing peoples preexisting piece don’t get me
Wrong I’m all for a remix but the way we praise these basically knock offs kinda crazy
ITS A COLLABORATION
For real tho
It's an icon that doesn't represent anything. Superficial people want it anyways.
I honestly used to love kaws and was saving up money to buy one cuz I thought they were so cool but when I heard KAWS himself talk about the art he was so bland and made it seem like he doesn’t really have a story or any emotional attachment at all to his art and kinda just does it for the money
Do you have the link? I want to listen that conversation with kaws
You could just buy a fake one off of amazon if you don't care about supporting kaws and giving him more money they are like 20 bucks on amazon
Send us the link of this
I got one for £40 and it's real good quality
For what they cost, you really think he would have done it for anything other than the money? Lol
Just think, there’s probably some broke college students out there who can create some of the best art humanity has ever seen but will probably never get the recognition.
Meanwhile someone redesigned Mickey Mouse and makes millions off of it
fr, this is dumb as hell
Sorry but “redesign” gives too much credit. This is literally Mickey Mouse with a skull slapped on his head.
Honestly I only found out about this shit after pewds showed off his collection. Back then they were only figures. A couple years later I see people walking around rocking fake kaws t-shirts so I was pretty perplexed. It probably only became popular as it is thanks to the low supply and the high price tag.
Same i know them because of pewdiepie
The first time I saw it, it was on a shirt my mother was wearing which had the character alongside multiple Sesame Street characters. I thought it was just a new Sesame Street character I haven’t heard of until I saw this video.
Taking down Mickey Mouse? Not even close bruh. As hyped up as it is now it will never be at the level of Mickey's timelessness. As all other hyped up stuff are today, it will only fade when new 'hypebeast' item comes up. And the cycle continues. But not Mickey mouse.
That title is an insult to Mickey mouse
Man fuck Mickey Mouse look up how racist it is

How are you going to talk about this without talking about graffiti. This channel is called Hypebeast and it’s probably the most accurately named channel ever.
Yeah kaws originated from street art which gives a lot of background for his work
They already had. There was a full episode on Hypebeast Blueprint which interviewed and analyzed Kaws as a graffiti artist.
@@alecothegecko he was a toy back then too
@@kucingdterbakard3765 fr? lol i didn't knew that

Taking down Mickey Mouse? I think not. Mickey had been around for oh about 100 years. I’m pretty sure Kaws will be an afterthought in another 20
I can’t even watch this. The value people put on some things is so stupid
hypebeast culture is a disease
@@333dae Hype brands literally make their designs ugly on purpose to laugh at people that wear it unironically.
I cant agree more, this is for people who have so much money they dont know what to with it, not for people in touch with reality who have bills to pay and better things to spend their money on, but then again someone was smart enough to monetize on this what they call "art" , it is subjective to the persons perspective but seems like they just jumped on the bandwagon, the price makes it to where its exclusive to them so they think they're special, but honestly who gives a sh!t about this ugly piece of plastic
I posted a comment like this one on a video like this about yeezy shit and I got destroyed! That I am an uncultured swine and that I don’t know what real fashion is. Man I buy a bunch of stupid shit and it’s better than this and it doesn’t cost as much

@@psycho_maniac1389 people who think like you and me are rare nowadays!
Didn't realize how famous he was but as an artist, I'd be pretty impressed if he sculpted his figures with clay rather than plastic. I rather pay for a hand crafted piece rather than a machine make it.
I think it was made in a factory 😂
He makes wood ones but those are so god damn expensive.
Kaws: I'mma put X's on Mickey and make it an overpriced plastic toy
Everyone: The vibe that this beautiful art work expresses is definitely worth 2k

@@rennisdodman8739sadly there's no talent behind this. KAWS knocked off Disney by replacing Mickey's head with a skull and XX eyes. I like the design, but everybody going batshit crazy and the prices go higher with this factory-made "art" is hilarious to me as an artist.
@@rennisdodman8739 Art

**🐨 and 🐿 have entered the chat**
Hihihihi👏🏽
The reason i clicked on this video😭lmao
Im honestly very saddened by the people in the comments who now associate art toys with hype beasts. Its a totally different thing. Kaws used to be fairly cheap, and now its been stolen by hype beast culture. The art toy community is about embracing artists and their work, not chasing clout. This isnt us.
They trynna make the skull and crossbones influence popular and main stream . This is haunting especially if you know what Disney be doin to the kids . The subliminals alone are enough to make you question their true motives.
Gotcha
Kaws blocked me because I told him to embrace his beautiful bald head.
I said something like that to joe Rogan and he blocked me too
you said the same thing on another video like 2 years ago
Lol not good joke
I really do feel that making something expensive will definitely attract a crowd. It doesn't have to be tasteful or creative
@Album Allen calm down keyboard warrior you can't any of these expensive things and yet here you are expressing so much emotions on someone and something you know nearly nothing about. Don't waste your time with me 😊
@Album Allen you coming at me like a killed your dog. You could have just acknowledged that I'm talking shit and not even bothering comment. Does what I said offend you?

Exactly, although to be fair those x's give the character an eerie vibe which I believe is the reason why they are so popular.

@@sspiker but it’s literally a toy tho
they aren't even plastic
they're vinyl
As an inspiring artist and someone who is learning about street culture, I can say that I utterly despise KAWS. He isn't original and pretty much a copy cat.
he literally titled himself the OriginalFake, and his come up reflects this too lol
Yet people still praise him, I wonder who’s the real winner here.
This character has been around for about 20 years and surprised this is the first I’ve heard about them
Stfu your mad something new and fresh is coming up and Mickey ain’t in the spot light no more. Change is inevitable
“They are affordable”
*Goes for tens to hundreds of thousands of dollars*
I feel so stupid because I've never heard about these toys before I was just like???? wtf are those lol
Same here
мαlυ I just got this in my recommendations, I had no idea these things even existed
You're not the only one🤣
That proves you are not stupid. The more you are into these things the dumber you become.
Same. I'm Canadian, wonder if that helped keep it off my radar.
Man. I remember when KAWS was on KidRobot back in the days when Tokidoki, Mysterious Al and Matt Sewell had Adobe Flash sites.
Getting old.
The entire design was stolen from Mickey, the head is the only ‘original’ thing about it. I honestly don’t understand how this gets considered as art when it looks simplistically lame as hell
To me it looks like an alternative form of Mickey it’s cool idk what it is tho probably an expression
Kaws was a street artist who painted the skull and cross bones over faces on advertising posters.
That's his thing
I understand your point
Personally I like Kaws but your opinion makes sense
@TUME 1 harsh
TUME 1 you probably
I don't know, that thing is so uncreative and i don't see nothing special in it
Exactly
I think they look cool honestly.
And for me it kinda look lil bit creepy
its just a simple collectable that became massive due to celebrities having them. Like shoes, clothes etc. Most people dont like them they just want to resell them of follow the hype train but they do look cool imo
small pp gang is it cool enough to be worth more than 1k tho ?
me thinking of namjoon and hobi this whole vid
Same 😂
is this interdimensional cable?
never heard of any of this.
They slapped edgy cartoon head to Mickey Mouse and became rich, THAT'S ALL IT TOOK, THIS ISN'T FUCKING ART.

I’ve only seen this thing on a Reese’s puffs cereal box when my brothers were staring at it in confusion lol
So you ripped off Mickey and just put a skull with “x” eyes on it and called it a day? I know people think a literal trash can is art, but I wish they put some more originality and thought into it... if I didn’t know rich people loved these, I would just think it was some bootleg Mickey knockoff toy
Not really, they also add scallops on the bottom of the mask to represent a scull, along with the bones sticking out and even half of the anatomy showing, and many more. You can’t really say they were lazy with it, because even changing or taking inspo on Mickey’s design still take a lot of creativity too
From my art theory classes i do think this is art, but social art. It's art finding in the mickeymouse part.
The guy literally copy past Michellin, Smurfs, Sponge bob and Crusty and just added a x in the eyes.... I-
walt disney and james macdonald is the real artist here
@@bimomuzakki9379 Walt Disney didnt create the look of Mickey Mouse though, it was Iwerks.

“theyre affordable”
Regular ones retail for 250-380, resell is where all the profit is made

@@JYMAHJAMES for you lol
Lmao spending money is not a hobby, hypebeasts are just impulse driven losers
@@andreitabacaru8242 i mean, only real losers call others losers lol. ESPECIALLY if its for spending money.
I got to be honest, I kind of like it. But not to a point that I'd buy it for thousands of dollars. It's overrated as hell. I understand if it's a truly original concept/design, but this? Holy shit. I also feel like it depends on how it is made and distributed. If some random ass kid in a ghetto neighborhood made this design/scribble and plastered it on something... He'd probably just get a few bucks out of it.
I think that's the saddest thing about a lot of this. It's comparable to Roy Lichtenstein. An artist stealing another artists work with minor changes, and then getting millions out of it, even if the change wasn't a good one, just that they had better connections or advertisement. I hate when artists take the working classes good outfits or art, commidying it so that it's only affordable by the rich, and driving the working class to worse fashion or having to work harder for more novel art to stand out (or worse, having the art that was representative of their life and culture ripped from them by fatcats)
6000 dollars to spend a lifetime
explaining to all your friends that no, you didn't buy a 3d printer and actual paid for the figure. Wonderful .
Taking advantage of humans wanting their lives to feel meaningful. I get it.
Bruh it’s a plastic figure
Okay this thing as a small figure may look good, but when you upscale it 100 times the size it loses the detail and complexity it had so it ends up looking lazy and uninspired.
Deadmau5 is like, "Really?"
Ikr. Tbh joel could have made his own figurines like these but guess he decided not to.
So many more bootleg artists that deserve the shine for rearranging pop culture into their own figures, healeymade,sucklord,retroband,Ron English,2bithack,abcnt,flabslab

Yes this action figure is “taking down Mickey Mouse” they know that Disney’s net worth is more than 200 billion dollars right??
Well that and Mickey became iconic because of "Steam boat Willey." It was the change in animation production of an Era ontop of the quarky story telling. So yeah this thing is a one off garbage in comparison to his history lol. This was in my recommendations randomly. I have never even heard of this thing before now. 😆
i knew this figure from pewdiepies background next to his small tv

People say that kaws are rip offs and take no effort, but I don’t hear that much hate on supreme. It’s a literal word on clothes and they are a multi billion dollar company. smh
supreme is barely relevant anyone, peaked in 2016-18.
I’m just sayin
Honestly if you like it then you like it - but most of us just find this plain..
Also I don't think this will overtake Mickey Mouse in terms of popularity
These things have been haunting me for a few years now, I'm surprised not many people know about it the comments. Don't support the brand though.
I went to his exhibition at the National Gallery of Victoria and was somewhat underwhelmed. For the most part, it felt no different from looking at overpriced and oversized Funko Pop figurines. His massive 'Gone' (seen at 0:45) was nice though, but I think that was because I really like Michelangelo's Pietà in almost any form. The rest of his works were a bit derivative.
Your ending music is awesome⭐️ any name suggestions?☺️

Funny, I’ve never heard or seen anything related to Kaws till today when I saw it on a story on Facebook.
I wish kaws and Murakami did a collab would be sick to have a companion with flower head or something
That would be so dope
so then it would be mickey mouse with a flower head?
i like kaws for the OG work not the re creating of others creations

It's the first time i see them and i'm invested in the art world, when did this happen?
I aint NEVER EVA ,EVA ,EVA ,EVA EVA ,EVA , seen that figure/image.
😂😂😂 i said the same
I came here to know why bts obsessed with it and still don’t understand
They kinda only say the history of it not the meaning /:
Maybe bc they like them, or just to collect something. Also it could remind them to their toys when they were young (?) idk if I explain myself correctly
They just like them. No explanation needed.
He explained it when he mentioned the celebrities and collabs
I think it's just Mickey Mouse for rich people XD like seriously, it's just a plastic Disney knock off with a 1000 dollars price tag on it.
I'm happy i bought all the Uniqlo designs last summer. That's the only kaws X brand Collab that I can afford. 👍
Im so glad to just have found out about this.
I'm an artist and I had Art degree from respectable university, but WHY do I feel that the art getting dumber these day.
I don't know....it just my personal preference anyway
“Bro the vibes is just different”. I love art and admire the abstract side of it too, but this shit is just plain boring 😐
Cuz fine arts is always a business. They have to dumb it down to sell it to as many rich young people as possible especially in this age of internet.
I totally agree. People just slap some paint on a canvas and sells it for thousands while there are some people who spend months on a single drawing and get no recognition.
These reminds me of Namjoon
He literally has alot of them in his studio 😮😮and that expensive
ive never even heard of them until this vid and will prob forget about it soon
