An amazing new product France-based K.Olin Tribu offers up Frank Kozik's POTAMUS and Steph. Cop' ARO as porcelain collectible figures.Currently distributed by DKE Toys, and priced at US$213 - the figures come numbered from 1 to 250, and includes a certificate of authenticity.. The 15 cm long Potamus comes in both White Enamel with Red Logo, and Black Logo, and 12cm tall ARO in white enamel.
Now this trio opened my stroked-double-visioned-eyes and then some! A quick "astonishing manufacturing", soon fell to "WTF"? As much as I regret not picking up either the Black and Grey editions of the original figure many years ago (*silent-man-tear*), I find this Kaws x Robert Lazzarini Companion set of vinyl figures, absolutely appalling. But if they float your boat, you can score them at ToyQube for US$264.99 each or US$749.99 for the set of 3 (Preorder).
