An iconic figure in KAWS' work, the companion has appeared in many different iterations and on several different mediums throughout the years. After demand increased, KAWS released a full series of six different companions that included both full body and flayed versions of the classic character.

Big City Cat Blue, Dean (20cm)

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.

Released to commemorate KAWS' exhibition in Shanghai at the Yuz Museum, the Companion Flayed Open Edition in Blush is a new twist on a classic. Just months after the release of six different Open Edition Companions, KAWS dropped two Blush Companions of the same size (11 inches) on KAWSONE. As is typical with all of these collectibles, they sold out quickly as fans raced to grab them. This particular version features a flayed design with shades of pink and red on both the interior and outside. The figure comes sealed in clear blister packaging, and is a must have for KAWS collectors and casual fans alike.
