BUS STOP - Kubrick - 2002
KAWS and Medicom Toy released the Bus Stop Kubrick set in 2002, a coveted box set of five figures capturing the artist’s early subversive style and his knack for remixing pop iconography with graphic minimalism.
KAWS and Medicom Toy released Bus Stop in 2002 as a run of five boxed sets, each pairing two 100% Kubrick figures with a mini bus-shelter display that carries KAWS artwork. The figures wear the familiar skull head and X-eyes, a crisp read on the blocky Kubrick silhouette that turned a simple format into something unmistakably his.
The sets nod to KAWS’ ad interventions from the early 2000s, scaled down into collectible scenes that feel like a snapshot in transit. It is an early collaboration with Medicom that became a collector favorite, accessible in size and price at the time, and a clear link between his street work and the toy culture that helped carry it worldwide.
