According to Highsnobiety.com, there is a new Kaws figure in the works and it features two of Disney’s more popular characters, Pinocchio and Jiminy Cricket! Produced by Medicom, these vinyl figures of the wooden puppet who would become a real boy and his insect conscience look amazing! And while some might not like the Kaws-ification of such iconic figures, I kind of like the added details of Kaws’ signature skull head and crosses.
According to the Highsnobiety.com article, “We get a first look at the Pinocchio and Jiminy Cricket toys by American artist Kaws. The two toys were shown as part of a show book; as part of the Kaws museum exhibition, which started today at The Aldrich Contemporary Art Museum. At this time it is not clear if this toy is being released but it does show a listing of 2010 and having been produced by Medicom Toy Co. / Disney. It is also listed as from the Collection of Artist.” (link)
