After constantly reading folks' commentary about KAWS' toy/collectibles drop through the years, it'll be "interesting" to see folks and "fans"' reactions to a premium print format at that price point (for reasons mentioned above in press release). Or if there'll be any "carjacked" situations unfolding... "Art" versus "Commercial Artist", "collectibility" versus "investment" ... Feel free to weight in on my Tweet and/or Facebook post, cheers.
