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.
