In December 2017, KAWS released a new version of his classic companion character, titled "Small Lie". The figure features the companion slumped over in what appears to be a disappointing stance, with a long nose that's reminiscent of Pinocchio. Unique from the Open Edition Companions, this figure included overalls on the character and did not come in flayed versions. This Small Lie Companion in Gray includes various shades of gray with black accents used on KAWS' signature eye and hand motifs. The small lie companion originally debuted as a 30-foot tall statue made of African hardwood at the Yorkshire Sculpture Park in the United Kingdom, and is now available in a size that you can actually fit in your apartment.

When he came walking towards me in that nonchalant way, I should have been more suspicious of that innocent look. Especially when he asked me if we need dice to play chess. But because he seemed interested, I suggested we play a match. At first, he refused pretending that he didn’t know how to play, that it must be very difficult, and that I must be an expert…he finally sat down.

Announced as a surprise by KAWS, the BFF Vinyl Open Edition Pink is an exciting addition to the Black & Blue BFF Vinyls released just six months prior. The pink version released at MoMA and KAWSONE, and represents a stark contrast to KAWS' traditional color palette of black, gray, and brown. Dropped right before Easter, the color scheme seems to be a nod to the bright pastel colors that come with Spring. First debuted in an 8-meter statue at the Central Embassy in Bangkok, the BFF has quickly become one of his most beloved characters, and now one you can own in one of the most unique colors.
